Magazines and the firearms they fit can be fickle. Some guns will hum along on whatever magazine you put in them, while others…not so much. At this point, I will again say that no maker that might be named pays me anything. I do indeed have one “diva rifle”, that doesn’t like certain magazines, and […]

Texas Black Rifle Company Micro Comp V3
Looking to upgrade my Gen 3 Glock 17 I went to my local gun shop (Guerilla Armament in Jacksonville, NC go check them out) and I stumbled upon something I have seen a few reviews on before; the Texas Black Rifle Company’s Micro Comp V3.  Machined from 7075-T6 Aluminum and coated black I was immediately […]
35 Rounds of Fun: Carry More AR Ammo with TorkMag
TorkMag has AR magazines in 35 and 50-round capacity! Â By using dual springs and a rolling follower TorkMag manages to cram extra rounds into magazines only slightly larger than a normal mag. Â The 35-rounder will still fit in most magazine pouches and those extra five rounds can make a difference. If you needed more ammo […]
Axelson Tactical ROC Muzzle Brake
The Axelson Tactical ROC Muzzle brake took me some time to get used to. I’m not gonna lie, while I was impressed by the quality of the muzzle brake I didn’t think tuning a brake was a real thing. I was, however, willing to experiment. The ROC Muzzle brake is more than a gimmick. The […]
The Handgunner Backpack from G.P.S. Wild About Shooting
I’m pretty wild about shooting and I teach both NRA pistol and rifle shooting to civilians and law enforcement. I was looking for a solution to having 3 or 4 bags to haul my pistols to the range. I found that having the guns in sleeves, holsters, cases, etc. took up too much space, became […]

Dynamic Defense Inc Romeo barrel | Reduce felt recoil
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 […]
Thoughts on Lights, Optics, Slings for Police Patrol Rifles
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 […]
Watch: DIY Improvements for Howard Leight Impact Sport
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 […]
KE Arms SLT-1 Trigger | Final Report
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 […]
