The following is a guest article written by Bill Loftus.- Jack For those of you truck/SUV fanatics, I’m sure you’ll already have half of this stuff covered. In fact, if you think of anything I missed, please post it in the comments! For those who own a truck but aren’t crazy about taking it to […]

As many have already proclaimed, 2017 is shaping up to be the year of the pistol-caliber-carbine. PCCs as they’re known by those in a hurry are excellent firearms for a variety of reasons.  Generally handgun ammunition is less expensive, has less recoil, and is more readily available than rifle ammunition.  Add to that the increased […]

Let me introduce you to the Walther PPX 9mm. Today we have a market ruled by high-speed pistols that are slim, small, and have a huge capacity to size ratio. Every now and then we get a gun that is overbuilt for the necessary purposes it serves. This is not a crime, but instead is […]

Blitzkrieg Components has partnered with KynShot to develop a game-changing new 9mm AR-15 hydraulic buffer. Taming the violent direct blowback forces in the 9mm system, it turns your 9mm AR carbine into the smooth-running, soft-recoiling, fast-shooting precision tool it always wanted to be. Most impressive: It comes with a limited warranty: 10 years or one million rounds. […]

The G-42 and G-43 are Glock’s new concealed carry optimized single stack pistols in .380 and 9mm.

Glock has come through with a well thought out and highly functional […]

New for 2017 from the French company Petzl is the Tactikka CORE headlamp. Separating this headlamp from the already prolific Ultra-compact Tactikka line is the new CORE rechargeable battery pack. Packing enough juice to emit up to 350 lumens, the new headlamp has a clear leg-up on the competition. Petzl has been a major innovator since Ferdinand Petzlln […]

A survival knife is a tool and not a fashion statement but for any guys out there that have been in a survival situation or a school environment as in a training course, you’d know that. So it becomes a case of practicality over all else While I’m admittedly no expert on knives, I know […]

The problem, if I can say that is many people don’t think the AK-47 requires maintenance. All machines, especially firearms require some form maintenance, and […]

I’ve  viewed .300 AAC Blackout as an excellent round since its inception.  I’ve also acknowledged that it isn’t a magic “wonder round” that can do it all.  It is another good tool to have in the tool box and excels at its intended function.  As with any new offering, it has taken some time to […]

Economy, increased accuracy, and improved performance are common motivations for hand loading cartridges. Reloading fired cases can save the shooter money and provide the shooter with more, and higher quality ammunition within budget. Reloading may not be cost effective for occasional shooters, as it takes time to recoup the cost of the equipment, but those who […]
