Courtesy of Tactical Life It has taken a few years, but the popularity of the 300 Blackout is starting to settle. As the initial hype has faded and ammunition availability increased, its practical value has become more evident. That process is common in the firearms industry, but it’s more intense today thanks to social media […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life Let’s travel back in time to 1977. Jimmy Carter was in the White House, KISS was the biggest band in the world, the first “Star Wars” film had just hit theaters, and Steyr Mannlicher designed the short-stroke, gas-piston-operated Steyr AUG, which was adopted by the Austrian Army as its official battle rifle […]
A new veteran owned company, Bayonext, has put an exciting, innovative and modern twist on one of the oldest battle implements still in use today.

Bootleg Inc. was formed in 2005, the sister company to Primary Weapons Systems (PWS).

Both shooting and working out can be frustrating. Both can be dangerous to beginners. Shooting and working out requires proper form, discipline, and […]

I’ve personally been shooting some brand of red dot on a pistol since 2011, when Trent Zimmer, CEO […]
Anyone who uses firearms know how useful hearing protection is. During the beginning of my tenure in the Army we were give ear plugs (yellow foam). Eventually, we moved over to electronic protection (similar to this). For me, there were many pros and cons to this switch. These new devices were wildly uncomfortable with our helmet […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life Competition pistol shooters want a reliable, accurate pistol that they can take out of the box, load and shoot at the buzzer. We want a pistol that performs without the high expense of a custom gun but with all the features we expect in a competition gun, like a smooth, lightweight, […]
