Not so long ago, we took shotgun shells out of PALS webbing loops one at a time. This was ok for breeching where you only need a few rounds, but the shotgun is enjoying a renascence of relevance and versatility. The low-capacity, slow-loading shotgun is old news. New shotguns hold lots of rounds, and competition-developed […]
Kevin Pratt’s goal at Invictus Practical is to design the best performing, most versatile, and highest-quality competition kit available at any price – period. His new Holster Hangers are all that. They are a brilliant interface which allows you combine any holster with any mounting system at widely adjustable angle and cant. If circumstances or […]
The popularity of the AR rifle in its many variations has unlocked American creative genius and produced a plethora of tools that allow users to build, maintain, and reconfigure ARs. The Wheeler Engineering Delta Series Armorer’s Vise has become my one indispensable tool. No matter what I am doing to my guns, it provides the […]
The Trijicon RMR (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex) sight is the most rugged miniature red-dot sight available. It is made from 7075-T6 aluminum to MIL-spec standards and has a patented shape that absorbs impacts and diverts stresses away from the lens, increasing durability. Available in LED, adjustable LED, or dual-illuminated versions, and with dot sizes ranging from 3.25 […]
The HIPERTOUCH Elite is the practical version of the Hiperfire series of drop-in triggers for AR-15 and AR-10-style modern sporting rifles (MSR). The Elite trigger does two contradictory things – it lightens the trigger pull weight while increasing the force of the hammer fall. This sorcery is accomplished by two toggle springs which can be […]
Back in the 1950’s, Eugene Stoner designed the first modern modular rifle, the AR-10. The gas impingement operating system and buffer system offers a potential optimization which has yet to be completely fulfilled. If you want to build a .308 AR, let’s examine the easiest way to make your gun run, choosing the right buffer […]
Meopta USA has a new collapsible spotting scope engineered for hunters, The TGA 75 is a classic draw-tube design which allows the length to be shorten from 14.8 inches when fully extended to 9.8 inches when collapsed, making it easier to carry. I am a big fan of Meopta. They make high quality optics that […]
When you’re off-duty, you need to think through your actions and consider the impact of not having normal police equipment available. The lack of a radio, Taser, or handcuffs reduces options. In a dangerous situation caught on video, an off-duty Albuquerque, New Mexico police officer fights a suspect in a gas station parking lot. Headed home […]
The Recover Tactical CC3 takes your non-rail 1911 and gives it a solid integral rail 1.8 inches long. The size and feel are indistinguishable by the shooter from a high-dollar integral rail gun. There are few really new ideas in the gun world. In an upgrade from flaming arrow technology, lights and guns have been […]
I have five or six Glocks in various guises. I have carried them and shot a metric boat load of ammo through them. I have been to the Glock factory armorer class and their instructor course. I love the simplicity of the design. It is modular, but for so many years, Glock refused to make […]
