Below is a video from Demolition Ranch showing the new suppressed .45 caliber Texan from AirForce. Because this is an air rifle, it’s not considered a firearm by the BATFE. And since it’s not considered a firearm, that integrated suppressor isn’t really a suppressor either. A loophole indeed considering the velocity of the projectiles exiting […]
Wether I’m backpacking, kayak camping or truck camping, my first order of business in the morning is making coffee. I have a Black Rifle Coffee t-shirt that reads, “But first, coffee”. And that about sums up my priorities in the morning. At home, my options are easy, Keurig or Espresso Machine. In the woods or […]
More people are using their smart phones as they head off on whatever adventure awaits. Improved GPS apps, ballistic calculators and weather apps all provide critical information for todays outdoorsman. In doing so, the smart phone has become a necessity in the outdoors. However, the outdoors isn’t a very smart phone friendly environment. Moisture, rugged […]
Last summer Scott Witner and I attended Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City. Outdoor Retailer is a huge convention for the outdoor sports manufacturers to show off their latest creations to potential buyers, industry experts and relevant media.

Well, SOG decided to look into new mechanisms and methods for opening an assisted knife and gave […]
Last year, Silencerco introduced the Maxim 9. A slick integrally suppressed 9mm handgun. Mid season 2017 saw the Maxim 50 hit the world in the face. A .50 caliber suppressed muzzleloader that doesn’t require a tax stamp. Well, in most states anyways. 2018 Shot Show is here and Silencerco has upped the ante in the […]
What used to cost several thousand dollars for a custom rifle can now be purchased for around a grand. And it’s a shooter with sub minute-of-angle standards beyond the coveted 1000 meter mark right out of the box.
I thought I knew Bogs; they’re those tall rubber boots with the hand-grabs at the top to pull ’em on. Farmers wear them. And fisherman. And they come in fun colors and patterns to wear in the garden. So, when Erik began sporting the Johnny Chukka II’s in the fall, I was surprised to see […]
