XS is famous for their quick, bright sights. The new F8 Night Sights are more of the same; high-visibility personal defense sights for fast target acquisition in all light conditions. Featuring a figure-eight, inline sight picture for an easy two-point alignment, the F8 sights are designed to instantly increase front sight focus thanks to the […]
There is nothing particularly jarring about firing an AR-15. The Carbine length gas system has excellent reliability and the felt recoil impulse is more than manageable. The mid-length gas system is longer than the carbine gas system, decreases parts wear and lessens the recoil from the AR-15. Follow up shots and rifle control are simple […]
Like any piece of duty gear, optics and lights must be able to handle the various demands of the real world. Those demands can vary greatly from environmental to incidental. Equipment needs to be durable or maybe even bulletproof and light weight. New Technology and the Divide Law enforcement tends to be hesitant to adopt […]
In this video, I do a little experimental DIY improvement to an aging set of Howard Leight Impact Sport ear protection. With all the empty space inside, it seems like adding some mass to the voids should improve the noise reduction rating (NRR). In part one of the two-part series, I cover disassembly and detail […]
It’s not a bad time to be a gun enthusiast in our industry. The recently infamous (again) AR15 rifle (or as we like to call it, adult Lego set) has never been more modular or given shooters more options for parts and accessories. Every company is seemingly content to carry on in rodomontade about their […]

The Warne RT-1 is our featured firearm accessory today and it meets all those adjectives and is priced for the budget conscious shooter but doesn’t […]
The Streamlight TLR-7 weapon-mounted tactical light was first showcased at SHOT Show 2018 earlier this year and is now the latest addition to Streamlight’s celebrated TLR line. Though each TLR predecessor holds its own, the TLR-7 is by far the boldest of the pack. In fact, it is one of the best tactical lights available […]
It’s no secret by now that I love shotguns. It doesn’t matter if it’s big or small, I love it. One of the issues with shotguns is trying to carry spare ammunition. There are a number of great option, like the AmmoPal. Other than that there are some pouches, bandoleers, and those little mini bandoleers […]
The Kinetic Research Group Bolt Lift gives your bolt an enlarged knob for a better grip. This sounds simple, but it makes your Remington 700 work better and faster which is no small thing. This is the best thing you can do for your gun under $30 KRG also has a line of premium chassis […]
I don’t think any of us can get to the range as often as we’d like, at least I definitely don’t. There are a few other training options out there, and one that helped me was tons and tons of dry fire. Laser-Ammo has created incredible systems to get maximum benefit from dry firing. I […]
