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 […]
WHITE BEACH NAVAL FACILITY, OKINAWA, JAPAN Marines with the Force Reconnaissance Platoon, part of the Maritime Raid Force, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, prepare for the explosive breach on the entrance of a notional enemy-held building during a capture or kill raid exercise here, Jan. 5.

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 […]
Dental picks and tooth brushes have long been part of the inventory of any gun enthusiast’s cleaning kit. These two tools from the health and medical world do a great job or reaching the “plaque and tartar” left behind as dirty mementos from a good day on the range. Though your dentist may not know […]
As the self-contained metallic cartridge was being developed in the 1800’s, many firearms manufacturers and private gunsmiths were busy converting the cap and ball arms to metallic cartridge models, more commonly known as “conversions.” Cimarron has taken the guns from this era and improved them as replicas for the modern shooter. 1858 New Model Navy […]

They claim to take the term “ballistic vest” and turn it into “bullet proof vest.” My body armor is tired and worn out The label tells me that I should have replaced […]
The .458 SOCOM round has been around for a while but never really gained much popularity. This is largely in part to it’s reputation for breaking guns. Like the 10mm in it’s early days modified existing platforms couldn’t take the punishment. The .458 SOCOM hasn’t been tamed, but CMMG has built a rifle that runs […]
AlumaGrips has been my recent source for great great grips. Earlier we showed you a basic set of 1911 grips in this article. When AlumaGrips added options for America’s rifle, the AR-15 I grabbed a set for my Freedom Ordnance FX-9 Pistol as seen here. What I hadn’t yet experienced was their custom-order process. A […]
Practicality and cool factor are often strange bedfellows when it comes to the firearms industry. There is cool, and there is practical, but is one often both? The Lifecard is certainly attempting to make you think so. The gun is more like something you’d see in a James Bond movie than an actual gun store. That’s […]
The trigger is our interface with a firearm. Length, weight, and feel of travel are some of the factors that shooters begin to develop a taste for. Some prefer slack, others not. Some want a short pull while others prefer weighted travel. Perhaps the only thing in common between shooters is the desire to tune […]
