Gun cleaning is one of those chores that comes with the fun. There was a time when I enjoyed it. Spending some quiet time cleaning every nook and cranny until it shined. Running dozens of patches through the bore along with a multi-step program of specialty cleaning agents. Then life got busy and I became […]
Today we accessorize long guns with lights, lasers, variable magnification optics and slings. While some of these things may be unnecessary, I feel like the sling is the most important. With all the things that it helps a shooter to accomplish, you can’t go without a sling. When in serious use in a fight, you […]
Sometimes things just catch your eye and SHOT Show and you just can’t stay away. Some guns just sing that Harpy’s song a little too well and you’re drawn into a booth before you know it. Torkmag’s Booth offered me something I’d never seen before. An AR 1911 conversion. Well, an AR that takes 1911 […]
I ran into the scraper tools at the Real Avid booth. I begged them to do a video. I hate cleaning guns and I hate scrapping carbon. This tool makes it easy if not fun. This is a faster, easier way to clean the bolt and bolt carrier. Their new AR 15 tool removes heavy, […]
Not so long ago, we took shotgun shells out of PALS webbing loops one at a time. This was ok for breeching where you only need a few rounds, but the shotgun is enjoying a renascence of relevance and versatility. The low-capacity, slow-loading shotgun is old news. New shotguns hold lots of rounds, and competition-developed […]
Kevin Pratt’s goal at Invictus Practical is to design the best performing, most versatile, and highest-quality competition kit available at any price – period. His new Holster Hangers are all that. They are a brilliant interface which allows you combine any holster with any mounting system at widely adjustable angle and cant. If circumstances or […]
The popularity of the AR rifle in its many variations has unlocked American creative genius and produced a plethora of tools that allow users to build, maintain, and reconfigure ARs. The Wheeler Engineering Delta Series Armorer’s Vise has become my one indispensable tool. No matter what I am doing to my guns, it provides the […]
The HIPERTOUCH Elite is the practical version of the Hiperfire series of drop-in triggers for AR-15 and AR-10-style modern sporting rifles (MSR). The Elite trigger does two contradictory things – it lightens the trigger pull weight while increasing the force of the hammer fall. This sorcery is accomplished by two toggle springs which can be […]
The Recover Tactical CC3 takes your non-rail 1911 and gives it a solid integral rail 1.8 inches long. The size and feel are indistinguishable by the shooter from a high-dollar integral rail gun. There are few really new ideas in the gun world. In an upgrade from flaming arrow technology, lights and guns have been […]
I have five or six Glocks in various guises. I have carried them and shot a metric boat load of ammo through them. I have been to the Glock factory armorer class and their instructor course. I love the simplicity of the design. It is modular, but for so many years, Glock refused to make […]
