Hydra Weaponry, Maine’s top gunmaker and the brains behind the MARCK-15 Hydra® Weapon System knows how to cater to the Glock crowd. Their latest creation? A modular rifle built around the .45 ACP, the second most popular caliber in civilian, law enforcement, and military circles (right behind 9mm). Enter the Hydra MARCK-15 H21 Modular Rifle—a […]
I have been fascinated with the thought of modular weapons systems for as long as I can remember. I tend to fluctuate between wanting to keep pistols bone stock and going absolutely crazy with customizations. Modularity really helps with the latter, so today I’d like to look at 3 modular handgun systems today. We will […]
When it comes to suppressors, SilencerCo has built a reputation for blending durability with high performance, and their latest release, the VELOS LBP 762, is no exception.

The Chest Rig is a easily recognizable piece of kit. What your mission, purpose and use will determine which chest rig is best for you. I personally use multiple brands and own variations ranging from the 1980s Soviet Chest rigs to the modern issued TAPs System and Blue Force gear slick chest rigs. Here […]
The latest from Sean Northrop. When was the last time you were shocked at how well a company or service responded to an inquiry you had? For me… It wasn’t that long ago at all. Some of you may have had a few times things went faster, or better than expected, but we all know […]

“Parting is such sweet sorrow” Although the Bard was referring to the love between Romeo and Juliet it’s appropriate for my feelings today as I’m bidding a fond farewell to a rifle we’ve been testing on multiple range trips lately, the Anderson Frontline 16. Vincent’s original comment in my first article was echoed by numerous […]
