The Cold Steel Hideout - Never Go It Alone

The Cold Steel Hideout – Never Go It Alone

“There is no such thing as a knife fight, there is a guy getting a stabbed and a guy doing the stabbing.” These words were screamed at my platoon as we learned the basics of knife fighting from one of the best MCMAP instructors I’d ever worked with. MCMAP, of the Marine Corps Martial Arts […]

The DSF 870 – The Only No Compromise Option

The shotgun is a favorite home defense tool for the gun owning public. It’s a powerful and brutal weapon that excels in close quarters fighting and shooting in low light conditions.

Charge it – Recover Tactical’s Glock Charging Handle

If you can slap it on a Glock someone will make it. The Glock and the AR 15 share a lot of traits in terms of popularity. Some folks make awesome upgrades for them, some just make dumb stuff. Most of the time you can separate one from the other immediately, other times you need […]

Night Fision: See The Sights, Hit the Target

What’s the first upgrade you should make to any stock Glock pistol? The sights. Glock does a lot of things right, but they really lack in the sights department.
