Shockwave’s ZMAGs: Liven up Your M11/9

I recently purchased an ancient Cobray M11/9 for a killer deal for an upcoming Retro Wave 3 gun match here in Florida. It came with one, old school Zytel plastic magazine. Lord knows how old it is. I knew for the match I’d need a few spares and I didn’t want Zytel, so imagine how […]

The Polymer 80 PF940V2: Build Review

I was torn on how to start this Polymer 80 review, I thought at first to do a how-to article, however, there are tons of better videos and guides out there than what I can make. Then I thought I’ll review it once it’s assembled and I go shoot it. I still plan to do […]

The KAC VFG: Get your Hand Around your KAC

A long time ago in a Marine Corps far, far away I was a young Private at Camp Geiger being issued my fancy M16A4. This was late 2008 and the M16A4 was quite modern for the time, at least for this future infantryman. I spent my time on boot camp with an M16A2, so the […]

The Knyphe: Phone Case + EDC Knife

I was browsing roughly through a gun and gear Facebook page when I stumbled across the Knyphe. The Knyphe is a great name for a really sweet idea. It’s simple, you already have a phone, and it’s likely in a case. So why not carry a fixed blade in the case? The Knyphe is a […]

The Remington TAC 14 Hardwood: Old School Cool

I love shotguns, and more importantly, I love shotguns with wood furniture. Also, let’s make them really short and use an odd definition to ensure they are not NFA regulated items. Thanks. That incredibly picky request has now been made a reality with the TAC 14 Hardwood model from Remington. The TAC 14 is Remington’s […]

The 20 Dollar Pistol Brace – The Breach Brace

Pistol braces are absolutely amazing. They produce an outstanding degree of control for pistols that are just way too big to be easy to fire. With the popularity of AR, AK, Scorpion, MP5, and other huge pistols a brace is almost a necessity. These days there are tons of different braces. We have models from […]

Merell’s Famous Moabs: A Go Anywhere Option?

It’s odd how you learn about companies and how that forms an opinion on the company itself. I first heard of Merells in reference to expensive boots for women. In Florida, we don’t wear winter boots often and it seems as soon it dips below 60 the women of Florida switch to their fanciest winter […]

Recover Tactical identified an issue with multiple popular guns on the market and would love to sell you. Guns like the 1911, the Beretta 92 and M9, and the early Glock generations […]

The Magpul SGA Stock and Pump – Long Term Review

My Remington 870 Wingmaster has seen a lot of abuse. It’s an older shotgun with a lot of character if you will. I never felt updating this little gun from the standard Remington polymer stock and the pump was necessary, but I was curious about Magpul made shotgun gear and the Magpul SGA series of […]
