Optics Review: SIG SAUER TANGO6 5-30x56mm Rifle Scope From the moment I first picked up the Tango6 5-30x56mm from SIG Optic’s Tualatin, Oregon headquarters, I knew I was going to like this scope. That was well over a year ago. I’ve now managed to put around 2,500 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor downrange with the TANGO6 riding […]
Until recently I’d been using an old leather belt to secure (I use that word loosely) my gun holster. I didn’t really realize how badly I needed a proper duty belt until I got the chance to assemble a full rig made by High Speed Gear. Sure, my old leather belt worked, but anytime I […]
This is not a review. That’s coming after further use and reliability testing. But Chris and I were so impressed with Ultradyne‘s new flip-up iron sights that I wanted to show them to y’all right away . . . Spoiler alert: the front post is an aperture sight. That’s right, Ultradyne’s C4 Folding Sights are a […]
Just about a year ago now I was in the back shop at C.a.r. Firearms, just south of Seattle, when a robust, blocky, yet sleek-looking item caught my eye. It consisted of two parts tethered together like makeshift nunchakus, the larger of which was firmly locked in the horizontal position in a stout 4-inch bench […]
It’s been a while since I posted something around here. Damn near four months, actually — the longest vacation I’ve ever taken from writing at TTAG since I joined over six years ago. Truth be told I’ve been a bit busy buying a house and changing day jobs, but something came across my desk that […]
Most shooters have at least one build that will never be complete. Many times these are the firearms we shoot and train with the most. Just as often, it’s our “fun guns” or those builds our friends will hurl insults at and refuse to even squeeze the trigger on, even if they function flawlessly and […]
Everybody shoots better when they have something soft to rest their rifle on. Competitive shooters bring all sorts of bags to the range, and hunters have been using rests — purpose-built and improvised — for centuries. Shadow Tech, the folks who make the great PIG Saddle and tripod combo I reviewed earlier this year, have […]
SIG SAUER recently released a line of ammunition to go with their fantastic new P365 9mm pistol, aptly called the 365 V-Crown. This load is consists of a jacketed hollowpoint that SIG describes as being ‘optimized for CCW. In this ammo review I test it in a couple different guns and see how it functions […]
If there’s one thing I always procrastinate about it’s managing my brass. I’m great at policing it! I constantly scramble for mine at the range and even pick up most unclaimed brass I see lying around. But then the bags, boxes, and tubes fill up, as do the garage and basement shelves. Sorting becomes less […]
Back at the end of May I penned a highly positive review of Ultimate Holsters’ Cloud Tuck Rapid IWB Holster and Mag Carrier. I still stand by it and the Cloud Tuck Rapid is still my go-to IWB holster for my SIG P238. But with the P238 situated at the small end of the sub-compact […]
Yesterday I detailed the time-saving and simply awesome Little Crow Gunworks World’s Finest Trimmer 2, a must-have for anyone looking to load more than ten rounds an hour. This time we’ll be taking an in-depth look at another Little Crow Gunworks innovation: the Precision Prep Tool. The PPT is essentially a hand-operated prep station that […]
I’ve been reloading precision rifle ammunition for more than half my life now. I keep track of the ammo I load by the number of primer box tabs I have in a small pile in my junk bin and this year I hit 50 CCI 200 Large Rifle, among many, many others. I’ve probably loaded […]
