Backup Iron Sights probably got their start by doing absolutely nothing when an optic was bolted onto a rifle that came from the factory with irons. But when modern sporting rifles (or whatever silly name the AR15 is being force-rebranded as these days) irons became an deliberate option. BUS or back up sights (whether iron […]
A question I often get asked by my students is what type of sights should on my handgun. The answer to that question is it all depends on what the application of your handgun is. The classes I teach are all about surviving a dynamic situation that involves life and limb. So that is what […]
It’s no secret I am a fan of concealed carry. In one of my past articles, The Daily Arsenal of the Armed Citizen, I wrote about how critical I believe it is to carry a backup magazine for your concealed firearm. My current EDC holster is the remarkable Werkz BisectV2 appendix holster, which comfortably carries […]
The U.S. has the best-armed civilian population in the world, with an estimated 270 million total guns. That’s an average of 89 firearms for every 100 residents. Many of these firearms fall in the Shotgun category, one of the most used home defense weapons systems in America. I often get asked, “what’s the best home […]
It’s no secret that when asked what my favorite gun is my answer is always “The one i’m used to using”; but today i’m going to add another criteria. “The one I have on me when I need it”. For reasons that one’s destiny can explain better than any attempt to figure it all out, […]
A week or so ago we took a quick look at the AXE 17 custom Glock. This time we are taking a quick look at the AXE 19 from Axelson Tactical. These guns are really well made and have an overall bad-ass appearance to them. These handguns are part of the Axelson Tactical tribute store […]
Remington introduces its R51 pistol, a modern version of the old Remington Model 51 released in 1918. The original Remington Model 51 relied on a unique type of action created by John Pedersen, a designer best known for the “Pedersen Device” that turned a bolt-action Springfield 1903 rifle into a semi-automatic magazine-fed pistol caliber rifle with a simple bolt change. Like the […]
As the years of workshop ownership pass, I’ve found myself in possession of more and more specialty tools. If you’d asked a spry tween named Tyler if he’d ever need a bench-mounted barrel vise, he would have likely cocked his head to the side like a dog who heard a whistle. Similarly, how many MGW […]
At SHOT Show this year, Gorilla Ammunition unveiled its new Silverback line of solid copper hollow point self-defense ammo. It’s available in .380 ACP, 9×19, .45 ACP, and .300 BLK. Except for the .380, each caliber is offered in a couple bullet weights and expansion styles, all of them featuring 100% copper, CNC’d projectiles. I got […]
When it comes to choosing an oil/CLP (Clean, Lubricate, Protect) for weapons maintenance, there are a host of options to choose from. For the beginner, it can be frustrating not knowing what to get. As for me, I like my maintenance kits to be multi-functional. During my service in the Marine Corps, I learned to […]
