Tyrant Designs, the creators of the skeletonized aluminum AR-15 grip, have come out with a new AR-15 Vertical Fore grip, the HALO MiniVert Grip. Light weight, with great aesthetics and high functionality, this new AR 15 fore grip is just the thing for your light weight AR build. I love the grip angle ergonomics, Depending […]

Once a year or so, a company comes out with a new product that is all the rave.  Soon, three or four other companies are producing their own version and we see many new builds using that product pop up all over the interwebs.  Such was the case with PDW styled stocks.  PDW (for personal […]

The Eotech models of red dot optics made by L3 Communications have been an iconic piece of military hardware since the Global War on Terror started in 2001. These sights have been issued to hundreds of thousands of members of the police, military and law enforcement communities throughout the world. It is almost as popular […]

Before the days of Salomon, Merrell, Oakley (all of which I own and love) and the endless list of boot options available to soldiers (at least in the SOF community), and the “after market” desert boots available to all, there was one venerable, unchallenged boot for the grunt. Few items conjure a nostalgia like seeing […]

In May 2015, Kahr Firearms Group introduced an exciting new Kryptek finish on two of their most popular limited edition Desert Eagles. The pattern was so widely accepted that it sold out almost immediately. Now, Kahr Arms is once again bringing back the popular Kryptek finish, but this time it will be offered on four […]

Type the words “Muzzle Device AR 15”, into Google, you’ll get almost two million results in less than half a second. Like anything for the AR 15 series of rifles, they are numerous. Some are complete crap and are made from substandard materials and did this whole fall apart thing. Luckily it’s easier to find […]

Nikon Monarch 7i VR Rangefinder I’ve always had a bit of trouble with binoculars and rangefinders.  It seems that no matter how hard I work at it, the image seen within is never half as stable as I’d like it to be for comfortable and effective glassing: enter the Nikon Monarch 7i VR.  The VR […]

For many concealed carriers, making gun-friendly wardrobe choices can often be a matter of necessity. Many states have laws making it illegal for your firearm to be visible in any way while carrying with a concealed weapons permit, and even if your state isn’t one of them, you often may not want to advertise the […]

If you’ve been around guns for very long at all, it’s safe to say you’ve likely heard of or handled a Hogue Inc. product.  Long known for their over-molded stocks and handgun grips, they’ve branched out and have begun producing a much wider variety of products.  Among them is the Hogue EX-T01 Tomahawk, an interesting deviation […]

The CZ (Ceska zbrojovka “Czech Armory”) 550 is a solid rifle I’ll give it that for sure.  It is what I’d describe as a middle of the road “utility” gun.  In the SEAL Teams a “utility” weapon was one that you could use for multiple purposes (close quarter battle or sniper ops).  Mine came chambered […]

I find that people who conceal carry every day for a long period of time go through a certain amount of phases. It almost always starts with carrying a full sized firearm in an uncomfortable way. Then comes the compact or pocket pistol phase. Maybe a wheel gun gets tossed in there for a time. […]

1911s are fun guns, and that is usually how I see them. The design is over a hundred years old so I place it with the Colt SAA, and the Remington 1858. Meaning old guns that are fun to shoot, but not my choice for concealed carry. I don’t mean to ruffle feathers but the […]
