Burris Eliminator III | Rifle scope, rangefinder and ballistics in one package

Burris Eliminator III | Rifle scope, rangefinder and ballistics in one package

The Burris Eliminator is an interesting beast: it combines a riflescope with a rangefinder and a ballistic calculator, all in one.  While I put up my first impressions, setup and its tech specs here, after spending some quality time at the range I’m ready to detail my shooting experience with this jack-of-all-trades. I headed out […]

4 Simple Steps to Living a Self-Reliant Life

It’s no secret that the majority of people in modern American society are living on the top of a house of cards.  Many spend their days working and playing in such a way that removes them from the basic facets of survival; food comes from the store, heat comes from the knob on the wall and […]

Spartan Blades CQB Tool | A Force Multiplier

Spartan Blades CQB Tool | A Force Multiplier

If necessity is the mother of invention, then experience is the grandpappy of refinement.  Ever since the advent of the firearm, soldiers have carried edged weapons as a backup.  From Pirates to Hessians to Rangers, fighters know the value of good steel.  Far from another Rambo or Crocodile Dundee monstrosity, the Spartan Blades CQB tool is a […]

Bravo Concealment IWB Holster | Review

Bravo Concealment IWB Holster

Texas-based Bravo Concealment has been hand crafting kydex holsters and magazine pouches for military, government and civilian use for a while now.  When my editor let me know he was shipping one over to me, I went through my long history of holster purchases and realized I’d never tried out one of their products before. […]

Suppressed Armament Systems | Blast Diverter

Suppressed Armament Systems | Blast Diverter

Those of us who have had the pleasure of shooting suppressed weapons know how much more enjoyable those little cylinders can make the shooting experience.  Similarly, we who have stood next to someone on the range who was shooting with a muzzle brake on a magnum caliber or a short barreled rifle will attest that experience is about […]

Nikon BLACK Force1000 1-4x Optic | Quick Look

Nikon BLACK Force1000 1-4x Optic | Quick Look

Nikon is continuing to develop their line of sport optics with the release of the BLACK Force1000, a 1-4x optic for shooting close- to mid-range.  Having recently checked out the BLACK X1000 4-16x precision riflescope, it has me excited to run the Force1000 through its paces. First, let’s cover the tech specs as provided by […]

Scrubba Tactical Washbag | Quick Look

Scrubba Tactical Washbag | Quick Look

Keeping clean while on the move whether on a deployment, travelling for business or stalking game is always a logistical consideration.  You can pack more clothes, you can be O.K with stinking like a primate OR you can check out portable wash devices such as Scrubba’s Tactical Washbag. Combining a polyether bag with a flexible […]

Suppressor Covers | Handle the Heat

Suppressor Covers | Handle the Heat

If you’ve done any precision shooting through magnified optics, you’re probably aware of the effect mirage has on your visibility.  The shimmering heat waves reduce optical clarity and can be a big distraction.  This problem is compounded when shooting suppressed as the can is one big fire-trap.  In a similar fashion, if you’ve spent much […]

Deus Ex Machina | Gunfighter Trigger Review

Deus Ex Machina | Gunfighter Trigger Review

While the Glock aftermarket has always been legendary in scope and breadth, I don’t believe it has ever been larger than it is right now.  While the sheer volume of options can be daunting to research, a few companies always separate from the pack.  This happens within each price point and is because that company is […]

Bootleg Inc Upper Receiver | Review

Bootleg Inc Upper Receiver | Review

Bootleg Inc. was formed in 2005, the sister company to Primary Weapons Systems (PWS).  Since PWS is well-known for their high-quality piston AR parts, Bootleg was tasked with the job of producing the same high quality of parts but in the direct impingement market.  Even if you aren’t familiar with the name, I can just […]
