There is enough difference in performance between the 5.56 and .223 to warrant some consideration if looking at the two for a specific purpose. In some cases, you will want to be very picky about the type of round you are shooting based on your desired external and terminal ballistic performance. You may find that you need a certain type […]
Shooting steel targets is a valuable option for training and it’s fun. CTS Targets offer innovative solutions to the problems you encounter when wanting to shoot steel without losing the basic needs of superior quality, hard steel, with exceptional value. The target I had the opportunity to test and evaluate was the 8” 3/8” Gong […]
Attorney and former Ranger sniper Ryan Cleckner has released a new children’s safety book. His goal: write a book that children would actually want read to them and wasn’t blatantly a “safety book” but instead snuck in the firearm safety message at the end. Even if you don’t have guns in your home, you never […]
SDS Imports saved us from the import ban on popular Saiga and VEPR 12ga Ak shotguns with their Cheetah 12. The Cheetah 12 has many features that some consider improvements over the traditional AK design and yet not everyone was satisfied.

They take it to the range once or twice, and find shooting it so uncomfortable that they never try it again. The Ruger […]
A couple years ago, I went to Wal-Mart to buy some of my favorite targets (I’ll tell you about them sometime soon) but they were out. I had my Malinois with me, and we used the garden exit so she wouldn’t have to walk on hot pavement any more than necessary. Pool noodles were on sale…cheap…and I […]
L-Tech Ammunition and Shell Shock Technologies have recently produced perhaps the best ammunition you’ve never heard of. Accurate, consistent and reliable is about all one can ask for in the ammunition world and yet it is sometimes so hard to find. This particular load combines a solid-copper 124gr projectile with the latest two-piece shell design […]
There has been a resurgence of the MP-5. Importers and American companies are supplying clones and new AR pistol caliber carbines now run MP-5 magazines. HK Factory OEM magazines have always been expensive, hard to find and prone to corrosion. Many of these new manufacturers are providing KCI USA products as their OEM magazines. Here’s […]
