Since moving to NW Florida, I’ve been a fan of off-body carry when it comes to my EDC. It offers many advantages, most of which are connected in some way to the wonderful humidity and weather we have here. In the last year, I’ve also added a new aspect of life, motorcycle riding, which brings […]
Some time back I wrote an article about the Caracal Enhanced F, a 9mm pistol that was turning heads with its strength and reliability.

Treat an AR-15 like an AR-10, or an AR-10 like an AR-15, and the rifle will collect its tax in weight, recoil, and missed follow-up shots while your optic either keeps you honest or lets you lie to yourself.
If you want MCX Rattler handling and three-round-burst attitude without the noise or paperwork, this CO₂ BB rifle delivers the look, the controls, and grin-inducing mag dumps that make backyard drills feel like a mini range day.

First Shot Let me tell you, few things in life hit harder than a .45 ACP from a slab-sided chunk of American steel. And while this one technically hails from Turkey, the Tisas 1911A1 is like that smiling immigrant in basic training who shows up, shakes your hand firm, and immediately volunteers for airborne school.

The Springfield Hellcat Pro CO2 BB pistol lets you train like a Tier 1 operator on a thrift store budget, all without waking the neighbors or your ammo fund from its peaceful slumber.
