While some have raced to ride the wave of ultra-modern accessories for their AR, others like to keep it classic. Admitting that “classic” for the AR is neither the most comfortable, nor the best looking there are a few of us who search for classier ways to adjust things. In a forest of plastic stamped […]
1911 Grips from AlumaGrips: Enhancing a Classic
Browning’s 1911 is an undeniable classic. Crisp trigger, natural grip angle, and that personal reward that comes with customizing. Like Glocks for grownups, the 1911 has the same aftermarket support, but parts aren’t always drop-in. Tuning up a 1911 requires some actual skill beyond simple plug-and-play plastic. One piece that is quicker and easier to […]
Ranger Proof Swag’s EDGE Trigger Follow-Up
In follow-up to an earlier post we wanted to both finish the story, and provide a correction. The EDGE trigger shoe is made and sold by Ranger Proof Swag which is not the same company as the premium-rifle-builder Ranger Proof. The companies have a loose affiliation, but are independent of one-another. Both Ranger Proof and […]
Ranger Proof Rifle Testing UPDATE ~ Video
Accuracy testing is always a tough one to believe. It seems that everyone gets different results, and that’s with good reason. If you read our earlier piece about accuracy testing you’d know that there are so many variables that it can be very difficult to be fair. Shooter ability aside, wind, ammunition, temperature, target choice, […]
Brownell’s Glock 19 Slide Built and Tested
Brownell’s has long been a friend of the gun builder. From their beginning as a parts and tool supply to their growth into their current status as the Candyland for gun lovers. Not long ago they began making their own AR-15 magazines (I’ve seen it personally, these are not simple rebrands), and now they offer […]
Bore Boss: The Better Bore Cleaner
Gun cleaning is one of those chores that comes with the fun. There was a time when I enjoyed it. Spending some quiet time cleaning every nook and cranny until it shined. Running dozens of patches through the bore along with a multi-step program of specialty cleaning agents. Then life got busy and I became […]
Watch: A Closer Look at the Walther PPQ SC
Walther recently answered those looking for a sub-compact PPQ with the PPQ SC. If you missed our original coverage of this gun see the tabletop review here. The PPQ is an evolution of the P99 which proved unfortunately misunderstood by most of the American public. An update to styling, American-friendly button magazine release, and simplified […]
First Look: Regent CC45 Compact 1911
LKCI, LLC’s Regent CC45 brings the Commander-sized 1911 to the enlisted man’s budget. Not long ago Zenith imported a batch of great, affordable 1911s made by Tisas. Unfortunately just as popularity seemed to be growing Zenith dropped their handgun line to focus on their roller-locker H&K clones. This left fans of the Tisas 1911s without […]
Cimarron’s Pistolero in .357 Magnum: 1873 Colt Single Action
We’ve been enjoying trying out some classic “cowboy guns“. The trigger pull on a 1873 Colt-style single-action is really something that any trigger puller should experience. It’s amazing. Short, crisp, and light and in our experience next to no travel. It just breaks. A true joy for those who like to get worked up over […]
Roughneck 10, Your Audi S7 in Rifle Form
We all know it IS possible to build a 450hp Honda Civic, but that takes time, money, and knowledge. Sometimes you don’t want to, don’t know how to, or aren’t patient enough to go through all of that. Sometimes you’ve worked hard, saved your money and know what you want. That pinnacle Audi S7 has loads […]
