Navy SEAL Issue MK25: A Personal Favorite

I initially chose to carry the heavier MK23 SOCOM by HK because of a rash of bad SIG magazines. I think the MK25 is a great pistol even though it’s a monster compared to the 226. I eventually learned to love the SIG line and glad we (the SEALs) put the Beretta out to pasture […]

Taking Your Own Upper Receiver with You to War…

If you purchase your own short barrel upper receiver and then have it put on your unit’s property book before you deploy then *cough-cough* the MP’s will never know that it wasn’t issued when they inspect your ISU-90’s. What they don’t know can’t hurt them. Besides, there is black side equipment we don’t even talk […]

Combat Accuracy

I’ve tried to cover quite a bit so far on rifle and pistol accuracy, including techniques and methods for practicing. To be sure, our readers are also great sources of knowledge and I’ve learned and enhanced my own techniques as a result of the discussions as much as writing the articles themselves. One of the […]

Glock 19 First Impression

First let me say that I’m a HUGE Glock fan. I carried the 17 when I worked for a certain three letter group in Iraq and have fired thousands of rounds through it without a hitch. When I was looking to have something a little more concealable (I don’t like Glock’s small carry options) I […]

THULS Sniper Data “Dope” Book

The good folks at THULS sent us a few custom sniper data books to take a look at a while back. I ended up giving one of the books to a sniper in the SEAL Teams and he’s not given it back yet, and this is always a good sign. He did report back that the […]

One of My Personal Favorite Bolt Action Sniper Rifles: The Blaser

Why I know that the future of guns are not “bolt action” rifles, my favorite bolt action gun would have to be the innovative straight pull action of the Blaser (owned by Sig Arms). Sniper rifles should be minimalistic. They are for hunting and don’t need to have miles of rail system or every damn […]

Spec Ops Tactic Tip: The Hasty L-shaped Ambush

Just like it sounds gents. When in being pursued by the enemy she can re-shuffle the deck with a good counter-pursuit hasty ambush. You need stand-off distance on the main element in order to let the Heavy Weps light ’em up. Good for stalkers (I’m on #4 now) or on the Air Soft Battlefield…. Brandon […]

FNH SPR Bolt Action Rifle …Looks like a competitor, but what do you think?

While I was at the National Rifle Association Annual Meeting and Convention, I had the awesome opportunity to meet Chris Cerino (pro shooter, and History Channel’s Top Shot season one competitor) at FNH’s booth. He introduced me to their beautiful FN SPR A5 M bolt action rifle. It features 10 and 5 round tactical box […]

Pocket Rockets – A Subcompact 9mm Comparison

Lately, the market has exploded with compact, lightweight (polymer) pistol options. Considering that this reviewer has a small frame, some of these highly concealable handguns have more appeal than others. With this in mind, some range time was in order to compare three of the most popular polymer framed 9mm pistols in the CCW field: […]
