Man, there is something sexy about a Marine shotgun. That hard plated chrome or stainless steel finish on a pump action shotgun. Most major companies produce a Marine Magnum style shotgun, and they all look amazing. The Cobra Tac 2 Marine model looks just as amazing as any Remington or Mossberg. In fact, it might […]
Continuing our coverage of pistol-caliber carbines we were alerted to Thureon Defense. The now cliche questions are always, “Does it take Glock mags?”, and “Does it come in 10mm?”. The answer to both is YES. Thureon Defense is a small specialty company based in Germantown, WI. What do they specialize in? TRUE pistol-caliber carbines! These […]
Introduced in 2015 the Glock 43 was the first single stack 9mm pistol in a long line of double stack offerings from the Austrian manufacturer. This model was long overdue in both my opinion and that of many Glock fans. As much as I love to carry the Glock 19, it’s isn’t the most concealable option […]
When you think of the bayonet, the first thing you’re likely to think of are the grainy photos of Union and Confederate soldiers or paintings that depict Redcoats marching in formation. A new veteran owned company, Bayonext, has put an exciting, innovative and modern twist on one of the oldest battle implements still in use […]

Michael Mann knows guns, and he likes to make sure he gets their use, how they function, and what you can do with one. Heat is legendary in the gun community and movies like Miami Vice and of course Collateral can’t be forgotten. Collateral is what we looking at today. The famous “Yo homie is […]
In the early years of firearms, the bayonet turned a discharged weapon from a marginally useful club to a more practical, for medieval and Renaissance warfare, pike. As late as 1900 the bayonet was thought to be fully one-half of the infantryman’s tactical armament. But of course, that was mistaken: the bolt-action, magazine rifle, the […]
After more than a decade Smith & Wesson has released the 2.0 of their M&P line. While most of the differences suggest a 1.5 or 1.7, the most exciting part of the launch is the new compact model. The sub-compact Shield and full-size models were aimed at the brand’s namesake, Military and Police, but the […]
One of the first things most people do to a factory Glock is smooth out the trigger with a 3.5 connector. This cleans up the pull and makes it easier to break a shot without moving the sights. This cones standard on the competition models (G-34, G-35 and G-41) but don’t come on duty guns. […]
