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 […]
One question I am often asked is “how do you argue with someone who is against guns?” It’s not always easy. Sometimes facts and statistics can go against us if we don’t have all the information. For example, after posting the article about how the shooter from the Bronx Lebanon Hospital shooting was legally able […]
A while back I had an AR that identified as a hunting rifle and needed an optic and needed a mount. Warne provided a mount, and Nikon provided the optic. After a bit of shooting a scope equipped AR 15 I was getting really sick of that teeny tiny mil spec charging handle. With the […]
One of the more interesting freebies at SHOT Show 2018 was the Phone Skope cases and adapters. Prospective firearms writers received an email promising a free Phone Skope with their name on it if they filled out an RSVP form. I filled mine out because I like free stuff, even though I don’t digiscope often. […]
I’ve been reviewing Steyr AUG for months now and it’s taken that long to really give it a fair review. My time with bullpups was limited so traversing to a bullpup really took some time. It’s easy to compare a bullpup like the Steyr Aug to an AR 15 and then get lost in the […]
Edge Eyewear’s Sharp Edge tactical safety glasses feature Thin Temple Technology that I found to be incredibly comfortable under my over-the-ear hearing protection. The thin temples are perfect for wear and function under your hearing protection, guaranteeing proper noise reduction, and a comfortable fit if being worn under a helmet. The legs of the glasses […]
Smith & Wesson released the 380 Shield EZ without much fanfare. From my tabletop examination of the pistol I think this was a smart move. Not because the gun is boring, but because it’s not for those who fall for fanfare. The 380 Shield EZ is perfect as a first handgun, or for those who […]
Sometimes the status quo isn’t enough. In the rifle industry, 30 round magazines are the status quo. They work and work well. They are a good compromise between size and capacity. In most situations, 30 rounds will see you through. However, in other situations, the TorkMag is what you go to. TorkMag produces two magazines […]
The pistol grip of the AR-15 is one of the easiest parts to swap out. Unfortunately it seems that no matter which grip you try it’s never the perfect grip. Even if a grip fits your hand nicely, it may not be so comfortable once you get into your shooting position. This is because the […]
