It’s a question that comes up in gun groups on a regular basis: what’s the best AR-15 scopes under X dollars? And just as regularly comes the stream of replies, most forgetting a minor detail beyond their own bias one way or another: application. What’s the intended use of said affordably priced optic? How rigorously […]
Following on the rollout of a new line of electro optics, Crimson Trace has just announced a complete line of eleven new riflescopes for tactical and sport shooting.
Lots of us have wondered for years when Crimson Trace, which is owned by American Outdoor Brands, would take the leap beyond lasers and lights. Wonder no more. Here’s a press release courtesy Ammoland: Wilsonville, OR – America’s Top Brand of laser sights, Crimson Trace, today introduced a new line red dot sights for pistols and […]
They don’t make ’em like the rest, which is why Crimson Trace is considered the best. There’s a certain type of advantage you’re instantly receiving when you start using laser sights with your firearm. It may come with a small adjustment period, but when you find out how well they simplify things, you’re going to […]
Count up the ways a Crimson Trace laser sight is in your best interest. If you’ve yet to realize the difference a laser sight on a firearm can make, you’re a little behind the times. The tough thing is, with all the popularity that generated, the drive to crank these out and satisfy the market […]
You have to think the move will work out in the long run. Right now, though . . . Did Smith & Wesson Make a Big Mistake Chasing the Outdoor Market? There was logic behind abandoning Smith & Wesson as the corporate name, even if it seemed foolhardy to take down such a well-known brand […]
The AR market is more saturated than a Houston suburb (too soon?). Thanks to the AR rifles’ “Barbies for adults” modularity and interchangeability, the platform has become a commodity item. Which leaves Smith & Wesson — and everyone else in the business — with a problem: how can they differentiate their rifles from every other […]
You may remember that Smith & Wesson, now American Outdoor Brands, acquired Crimson Trace about a year ago. One of CT’s most recent innovations is their wireless LiNQ System for triggering lights and lasers. So you had to figure it was only a matter of time before AOB blended an M&P rifle with CT sighting […]
As the Crimson Trace Midnight 3-Gun Invitational draws near, Nick got some last-minute practice while I was treated to the world’s best possible 3-Gun beginner’s training (along with another half-dozen newbies) by Top Shot icon Iain Harrison himself . . .
Life is all about balance. It’s a Zen thing. Yin. Yang. Black. White. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Name your poison. Like in anything else in life, all guns are a study in the art of compromise. Large calibers = big holes, but come with (more) expensive rounds and fewer […]
Went to the range today. If you’d like to read my in-depth review of the gun I’m carrying for the 30-day project, click on over. I’ll wait. Back? Good. Okay, so I was having a discussion with Fearless Leader the other day, and RF casually mentioned that he and his significant other keep a gat […]
My first full day of conceal carry is complete. And it was an eye-opening experience, in more ways than one. Let me explain…
