Courtesy of Tactical Life Sound suppressors, or “cans,” are devices appended to a firearm to diminish its noise. We strive mightily to mitigate the racket stemming from automobiles, motorcycles, lawnmowers and drunken frat parties, but with firearms, some seem hell-bent on keeping them as noisy as possible. Although sound suppressors unequivocally diminish noise pollution, preserve […]
(Courtesy of Tactical Life) Whether you are a new to hunting or a longtime outdoorsman needing a replacement gun, now is a great time to pick up a scoped rifle package.

(Courtesy of Tactical Life) On June 2, 1995, a United States Air Force F-16 Falcon was shot down over Bosnia while enforcing a NATO peacekeeping mission.

Editors note: We sent this holster to our friends at Spotter Up to review for us. As consumers we have many choices today because there are many suppliers and manufacturers offering goods at competitive prices and most of those items are well-made. We are spoiled.

(Article courtesy of Tactical Life) Magazines are some of the most important — and abused — pieces of equipment we shooters use with our ARs. We dump them on cement, in mud. They fall freely from our magazine wells into sand. Sometimes we slam them into magazine wells cleanly, or jam feed lips against metal. […]
In the shooting world of 1911 vs. Glock, there are holsters that each tribe swears by and are carried with pride, a few of which comes with bragging rights and numerous “word of mouth” decision making purchases. While I am in the 1911 tribe, I do understand the other tribe’s choice about weight, maintenance, and […]
Those who travel the backwoods trails, pitch their tent in campgrounds or meander along the banks of streams and lakes in search of fishing holes often like to supplement their outdoor equipment with a small, lightweight handgun. The role of this handgun is multifaceted, as it may be used to kill threatening venomous snakes, pot […]
I’ve carried a snub nose revolver for 25 years, first as a back-up to my duty revolver and now my duty autoloader. I’m not ready to give up on wheel guns. Unlike many younger people in law enforcement who have never held or fired a revolver, I am comfortable with a wheel gun and recognize […]
