The Polymer80 PF940V2 Ghost Gun kit

Let’s go ahead and get this out of the way. If you are reading this to see if a Polymer 80 Glock is easy to build then let me answer you now. Yes it is. It is very easy to do, and I believe anyone can do it. The Polymer 80 Glocks are very easy […]

The Streamlight TLR-6: Increase lethality of compact and sub-compact handguns

Streamlight is one of two companies I trust with my weapon lights. The TLR 1 is my home defense companion on my handgun, and now the Streamlight TLR 6 is riding tight on my SIG P365. The P365 has become my EDC gun and the addition of a light and laser truly makes it a […]

The SPOT Scope CPR – Reliable, Affordable, and Versatile

Reliable red dots are rarely cheap red dots, but there has been a shift in the market recently. Instead of choosing between a massive piece of crap optic and an 800 dollar Aimpoint, a middle ground has come to exist. In this middle ground Red dots like the SPOT scope CPR exist. This is a […]

The Ax Survival Card by Crate Club

The Ax Survival Card is a testament to human creativity. How many tools can you shove into something the height and width of a credit card, but only a little thicker? The Ax portion is the star of the show, but the tool also works as the following: Scraper Pry Bar Knife Can Opener Box […]

The Roni X Stab Gen 4- From Glock to PDW

The Roni kits have been around for a very long time, and they’ve become quite popular. The Stab variant is the stabilizer model that includes a pistol stabilizing brace. This, of course, prevents you from turning your Glock into an SBR (Short Barreled Rifle). The traditional Roni models are made in Israel and in Israel […]

Keep Cool With the EdgeTec Pants From Propper

Summer is here! Well kind of, at least in Florida it reached 99 degrees in the beginning of May. It is the perfect weather for swimming, grilling, shooting guns and sipping beers. However, once we get passed summer fun and into acting and looking like an adult we have to consider how we dress. I’m […]

Half Face Blades Chef Blade – A Refined Tool

As a newly single man, I’ve been continually surprised by the fact women are incredibly impressed by my ability to cook. I thought it was an old joke, something from a cheesy rom-com, but the truth remains I’ve found the ability to cook directly relates to your attractiveness level. When cooking for a young lady […]

What the Hell is the Driveway Special AR?

Recently, if you follow the #IGMilitia hashtag or really any of the gun tags, you may have started seeing the hashtag “#DrivewaySpecial.” If you are like me this raised your curiosity, so I dove into it. The Driveway Special is a very specific AR 15 build. I found a short video by Ash Hess, a […]

Shopping for unusual firearm parts? How Not To Commit a Felony via Wish and Amazon

Recoil Magazine recently reported that several people who have purchased Glock full auto rear plates had been taken into custody by law enforcement. The ATF had gotten Paypal records indicating they’ve purchased these parts and is now pursuing these folks. This even caused one man to apparently jump out a window with a whole bunch […]

The Phalanx Defense Stealth Operator – New and Improved

A long time ago I purchased my first Stealth Operator holster. It was a kydex holster that could accommodate over 150 different holsters securely. I was curious, and I consider most universal holsters to be absolute garbage. However, the holster was quite affordable. This was 4 years ago and to this day that same Phalanx […]
