Leupold has been a leader in the optics market for many years. In the past decade, their dominance has come under fire from companies offering less-expensive optics, most of which are made in Japan. The question many asked: “will Leupold cut corners to try and compete at lower prices, or maintain status as a premium […]
Battle Werx LLC is a custom firearms machine shop out of Durham, Connecticut. This Veteran owned and operated company has produced some of the best looking cuts on a custom Glock slide that I’ve seen. Despite owning nearly a dozen over the years, I’ve never ventured into custom cut slides before. Until now. Having written […]
Last year, I started Project Icarus: to design a very accurate, ultralight AR15 using off the shelf parts. My goal was a sub-6lb rifle, with the suppressor and optic included in that weight and I wanted to keep the parts as durable as possible, so I shied away from the use of plastic receivers. Since […]
The NeoMag is a handy little device. With it, you’re able to discreetly carry an extra magazine, while ensuring it stays vertical and properly oriented in your pocket. Not long ago I did an initial impressions article, but wanted to follow up after carrying this with me every day and getting some good range time […]

Aside from tritium sights, I’ve never felt like the seven Glocks I’ve […]

While much of it has been overtly tactical in nature, this article focuses on a product that puts the “Grey” into “Grey Ghost […]
Axelson Tactical is a business I hadn’t heard much of until eight months ago. At that time, I was sent one of their competition muzzle brakes for review. During my research period for that article, I realized I had heard the name Axelson before, with regard to Operation Red Wings: Matt Axelson was a Navy […]
There are phrases, parables and colloquialisms abound that deal with time. Being in the right place has only ever been half the recipe for success. The accurate keeping of seconds and minutes is imperative to many, but of the utmost importance to some. With that in mind, it is easy to see a thriving niche in […]
With cold temperatures coming down upon us in most parts of the country, it’s time to start thinking about ways to manage the cold in case of emergency. While many of us have a basic emergency kit in our vehicles, it’s good to have a box (I use a milk crate) kept in the vehicle […]
