Loading up your belt with spare magazines for a training or competition event has always been easy. Doing the same for concealed carry has not. Aliengear appears to have solved this with the Cloak Mag Carrier. Single-stack guns give us ease of conceal-ability and comfort for every-day concealed carry. Where they leave us wanting is […]
VG6 Precision Gamma: When A Muzzle Brake Works
Muzzle devices are one of those accessories that can easily frustrate. Prices range from $20 to “You want how much for that?!”. Having tested over a dozen for the AK series of rifles I was hesitant to try something for the Northwest Rifle in 300 Blackout. I knew the A2-style flash-hider had to go, but […]
Smoke Wagon by Taylor’s & Co. Brings Back the Old West
Gun-lovers can breathe easily, at least until 2018. The 2016 elections have eased fears that what we want today may be banned tomorrow (Except behind enemy lines in California). We’ve rushed out and bought our AR-15s, normal-capacity magazines, and loaded up on ammo. At least for a little while we can relax and get back […]
Lynx 12 The Classic 12ga AK: Graham Baates Video
SDS Imports saved us from the import ban on popular Saiga and VEPR 12ga Ak shotguns with their Cheetah 12. The Cheetah 12 has many features that some consider improvements over the traditional AK design and yet not everyone was satisfied. What about the classic AK safety, Scope rail, and most importantly that tang ta-tang […]
First Look: New Walther CCP M2
When Walther released the original CCP it was met with much anticipation. Straight blowback 9mm is too much to handle, but Walther’s piston system known as “softcoil” offered to reduce recoil below standard Browning systems. The “softcoil” also applied to the recoil spring which didn’t need to be as heavy and so the gun is […]
HotShot Elite Ammo? Thumbs Up
The HotShot line of ammunition from Century Arms has been part of a revival for the company. Once simply a source of surplus firearms, Century is moving into becoming a strong brand. Not a lot is known about their ammo line aside from partially incorrect assumption that it is merely inexpensive Russian-made plinking ammo. The […]
MagPul’s Glock Magazine Well: Deal or Gimmick?
MagPul has become a true giant. Beginning with a simple plastic adaptation of a trick war-fighters were doing to overcome shortcomings in gear MagPul now makes everything from firearms accessories to clothing. Personally I’ve been disappointed with apparent abuse of their industrial might with the release of products that couldn’t have gone through any legitimate […]
First Look: 12-Gauge AR-10 Conversion from Genesis Arms
Genesis Arms has released their Gen-12 upper and conversion kit for AR-10s. This conversion upper promises to drop on to your AR-10 lower and with Genesis mags you’ve got a 12 Gauge AR! Creating such a conversion is not an easy task. A lot has gone into creating the Genesis 12. Yes there are AR […]

Shots Fired: Spike’s Tactical Roadhouse AR-10: GBguns Video
Not long ago we brought you an up-close look at the Roadhouse AR-10 in .308 from Spike’s Tactical. Ambidextrous controls and no detail overlooked describes this battle tank of a rifle. On a bitter-cold morning with sleet accenting the weather I hit the range for testing. Does the cold impact ammunition performance? Yes. Does the […]
