Professional Gear Reviews
As a gear reviewer, I receive a pretty wide variety of kit to work with. Even if I’m working with a product I’m not an expert in the use thereof, it’s my job to show the strengths and weaknesses of a product as it stands alone. That means if I’m accuracy testing a rifle or […]
The Caldwell® Pic Rail XLA Fixed Bipods provide a stable shooting platform that conveniently attaches to almost any pic rail forend. The integrated 1.5 inch long pic rail clampfastens directly to a firearm’s pic or quad rail. The bipods are collapsible so they can remain affixed to a firearm foreasy transport. The XLA Bipods are […]
My first experience with a handstop came in the form of an obligatory “bump” on an MP5 handguard that warned me of further farther digital exploration would equal digital reduction. The HK-MP5 was one of the first fully auto firearms I’ve been lucky enough to tinker with, and began an unrequited love affair that cannot […]
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 […]
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 […]
TorkMag has AR magazines in 35 and 50-round capacity! By using dual springs and a rolling follower TorkMag manages to cram extra rounds into magazines only slightly larger than a normal mag. The 35-rounder will still fit in most magazine pouches and those extra five rounds can make a difference. If you needed more ammo […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
