Things That Don’t Suck: SOG Kiku XR Blackout Folder - This is a knife I shouldn’t like very much. I prefer to carry something smaller. A knife that’s lighter and more pocketable. I tend to like slim, no-frills drop point blades. My EDC needs don’t usually extend much beyond opening a cardboard box with a grin printed on it or maybe slicing through the packaging […]- Gear Review: NeoMag Spare Magazine Pocket Clips - I’m a SnagMag salesman. No, I don’t work for them and I don’t get freebies either. I buy their products just like everyone else. But I’ve bought a lot of them, I tell everyone about them and I often don’t have one on me because I’ve given it away to someone I meet that isn’t […]
- Gear Review: Streamlight TLR-8 G Sub Weapon Light and Laser - Let’s face it. Everyone who carries a handgun should carry a light, too. You never know where or when you’ll have to use your handgun in a defensive situation, let alone the lighting conditions you’ll be dealing with. And properly identifying the threat is pretty important. Some of us carry a flashlight as part of […]
- Things That Don’t Suck: WOOX Gladiatore Furniture for the Mossberg Shockwave - I go to SHOT Show this year with a plan, a list of booths to swing by, a pre-planned route, and a map. It’s a plan intended to maximize efficiency. What kills efficiency is when I find things off my route, things that draw me in and distract me…and I love it. A company called […]
- Gear Review: D&L Sports Performance Revolver Grips - My recently purchased Smith & Wesson Model 610 10mm is an okay revolver out of the box. When I replaced the factory sights with the vastly superior D&L Sports fixed combat sights, it got a whole lot better. It’s now an entirely different — and far better — revolver entirely, and much of that is owed […]
- Optic Review: Primary Arms Classic Series 21mm Micro Reflex Sight - The number one review request I get is “budget optic reviews.” You’ll see the Primary Arms brand in a fairly high percentage of those reviews, as they consistently deliver quality above their price point. The Primary Arms Classic Series 21mm Micro Reflex Sight is no different. For a very low price of entry, Primary Arms […]
- Silencer Review: Dead Air Sierra-5 5.56 NATO Suppressor - Dead Air’s new Sierra-5 silencer is a compact, heavy-duty suppressor designed for hard use on .223/5.56 firearms. Available from Silencer Shop with either a KeyMo mount system or a Xeno mount system, I got my hands on one of each and ran them through their paces over the last couple months. With a pinned and […]
- Optic Review: Viridian GDO 20 Green Dot Electro Optic - With their GDO 20 green dot sight, Viridian Weapon’s Technologies has taken their many years of experience with green lasers and applied it to the reflex optic space. A green red-dot optic. It works, and it works great. The advantage in a green dot over red is that human eyes see green far better than […]
- Optic Review: SIG SAUER Whiskey6 3-18x44mm Riflescope - When Jeremy handed me the SIG Cross rifle I hunted with this last season, the SIG SAUER Whiskey6 3-18x44mm riflescope was already mounted on it. Jeremy commented about the image quality when I picked up the scope. “I think it’s one of their less expensive lines, but it’s really clear glass,” he told me. He wasn’t […]
- Gear Review: Meta Tactical Apex GLOCK Bullpup Carbine Conversion Kit - SHOT Show 2022 introduced me to the Meta Tactical’s Apex conversion kits. I’m a fan of the out-there and the unique, so these kits most certainly appealed to me. Meta Tactical was kind enough to send me an Apex kit to test and review. Let’s get this out of the way first: the Meta Tactical […]
