Wicked Grips and a Journey with an Old Friend

Wicked Grips and a Journey with an Old Friend

TriStar Tec 12 Shotgun | Pump or Auto? How about both?

TriStar Tec 12 Shotgun | Pump or Auto? How about both?

When it comes to tactical and home defense shotguns there are lots of debates regarding the most effective operating system. They come down to pump-action and semi-automatic.

My morning ritual consists of waking up before the sun rises, stretching, waking the dog, getting dressed and pick a playlist to listen too.
