(Courtesy of Breach Bang Clear) CZP10C: a Japanese Guy and an American Pipehitter talk about a Czech Gun There are a number of good things from the Czech Republic, Josef Škvorecký and Veronika Zemanova not least among them — but we’re also admirers of guns built by Česká Zbrojovka. That’s why we’re happy to tell you a little […]
I was contacted by 1SGT (ret) Thomas Lindsey of Cold Steel Custom Slings via the Midwest Tactical Officers Association. Based in Michigan, and made by hand in the U.S. of A, Cold Steel is just the kind of company MTOA strives to promote and support. Having been part of MTOA for several years, I will […]
(Courtesy of Tactical Life) Ever since the 19th century, one of the most practical—and respected—weapons used by American police officers, soldiers and armed civilians has been the short-barreled shotgun.

Hexmag was founded in early 2013. They actually started as a prototyping exercise in 3-D design and printing. They sold their first Hexmag March 2014. I have had a lot of different magazines in my life from issued GI mags to Magpul P-Mags. For full disclosure I have my own personal Hexmag that was given […]

And, with the introduction of the .380 Glock 42, cops have a great deep-cover or backup gun option that works just like their primary duty gun. The subcompact Glock 42 in .380 […]
(Article originally published on Tactical Life by Massad Ayoob) The various militaries throughout the world probably buy the full-size 9×19 GLOCK 17 service pistols for their fighting men and women than they do any other GLOCK.
