Ultradyne is a sleek company that makes some excellent products. They make some of the best AR-15 sights ever designed. I love their sights and have been tooling around with their muzzle devices. Specifically, the Apollo Max in 5.56 and .30 caliber. I have both, but as ammo prices go, I’ve been shooting the 5.56 … Read more
Who the heck is ZeroTech? That’s what I asked when I first got the offer to review their red dots. I’ve reviewed American optics, Japanese optics, and optics made in China, but ZeroTech offered me an option from Australia. Australia isn’t well known for its arms or arms adjacent technology, but there are plenty of … Read more
Your shotgun’s follower is typically a forgotten, unappreciated hero. It’s what ensures your tube-fed shotgun feeds reliably. I’m sure there’s a word for it, but it’s crazy that such a small, affordable part of your weapon can be so dang important to a firearm’s overall reliability. A good follower goes a long way to keeping … Read more
Handgunners ahve embraced the idea of optics wholeheartedly. Optic-readiness has become the new Picatinny rail…you might not use it, but you probably want it on your gun.

In short, I’m a fan of director Michael Mann and a … Read more
During my time in the Marine Corps, our optics of choice were Trijicon ACOGs. These were 4X fixed power prismatic optics. At that point, I thought this was the best option for infantrymen. With that said, I still greatly appreciate prismatic optics and own several models. My latest is the Swampfox Saber, one of the … Read more
Holosun has been making waves in the optics industry. The company went from producing simple red dots to producing affordable, but surprisingly durable mini red dots like the 507C and 509T and the class-leading 507K. Their latest optic is the AEMS, representing a break from the standard Holosun optic. The AEMS represents not only a … Read more
The eternal ear protection battle of buds versus muffs rages on in the ears of shooters around the world. For the longest time, I’ve been a big fan of muffs. They’ve always been comfier to me. Electronic muffs have provided better audio quality and fit my bigger head a fair bit better. The guys at … Read more
Dry fire with a AR-15 is hardly an entertaining event. Focus, get a good stance and grip, pull the trigger carefully and repeat. Every time you take a shot, you have to run back the charging handle and reset the weapon. It gets old fast, and it speeds up the development of tennis elbow. Honestly, … Read more
