Blue Force Gear Jedburgh Pack: Comfort and Performance

Blue Force Gear has made a respectable name for themselves in the realm of tactical gear. Their Dapper system which employs velcro is quite popular and they began producing accessories for it, but took their time making the packs designed to use it. That seems to be time well spent as I look at the […]

A Magazine Clip? They Do Exist! Recover Tactical Does it Again

This isn’t the catchphrase of your favorite anti-gun politician, but an actual product. I’m sure the marketing folks over at Recover Tactical had a good laugh about calling a product magazine clips.

Ghost Gun Rundown – 80% Lowers and Frames

Ever since Senator Kevin de Leon uttered the immortal words Ghost Guns in an ignorance laden speech I’ve been fascinated by 80% lowers and frames. The idea that I can subvert ridiculous legislation and regulation easily by just building my own gun is fantastic. As an 80% enthusiast, I wanted to share 80% Lowers, Frames, […]

The No-Print Wonder By Clinger Holsters

I hate this holster. That’s my first thought on day one of carrying the No-Print Wonder with my Walther PPS M1. It was poking me, rubbing me wrong, and generally uncomfortable.

Introducing the KPOS Scout

I’ve always had a fascination with pistol caliber carbines. I own and have owned several and find them generally to be a blast to shoot. They can be taken to almost all ranges, the ammo is cheaper, they are easy to suppress and just fun to shoot. I’ve also taken to the idea of converting […]

Meme Your Gun With Custom Gun Grips

So this is odd to me. I’m reviewing something, but it’s not a product, but a service. Don’t get me wrong I still have something to show you, but this review is more about the service. I’ve been working with GunGrips.net to produce a truly unique set of custom grips. Gun Grips is a service […]
