The Magpul PMAG D-50 is a rugged, lightweight, and reliable 50-round polymer drum magazine designed for 7.62×51 NATO/.308 Winchester ammunition for SR25/M110 pattern rifles.

A few months ago I was walking into the local stop & rob (AKA convenience store). As I entered I walked past a guy sporting a beard and full sleeve tattoos, something struck me as familiar and as I turned around to see what it was and so did he. We looked at each other […]
I am frequently asked which holster I prefer. I will preface the answer with it depends on your task threat and environment, but my go-to is the Ultra Carry Elite by Precision Holsters for the following reasons: Functionality: Excellent mechanics on the draw, excellent retention, etc. Comfort: Leather backing makes it comfortable and it is […]
