Few companies are as much as an American Classic as Colt. In 1855 Samuel Colt, the man credited with making all men equal, founded the company in Hartford, Connecticut. Since that time the company has had many ups and downs but remained as American as apple pie. Though the 9x19mm cartridge may not be native […]
There has been a ton of talk about the recent changes with ITAR and whether or not gunsmiths will have to pay a large fee to stay in business. Some were calling it an executive order, some were saying it was illegal… is that true? Adam Kraut breaks it down in The Legal Brief. ♦ […]

The integrated 1.5 inch long pic rail clampfastens directly to a firearm’s pic or quad rail. The bipods are collapsible so they can remain affixed to a firearm foreasy transport.

My first experience with a handstop came in the form of an obligatory “bump” on an MP5 handguard that warned me of further farther digital exploration would equal digital reduction. The HK-MP5 was one of the first fully auto firearms I’ve been lucky enough to tinker with, and began an unrequited love affair that cannot […]

Magazines and the firearms they fit can be fickle. Some guns will hum along on whatever magazine you put in them, while others…not so much. At this point, I will again say that no maker that might be named pays me anything. I do indeed have one “diva rifle”, that doesn’t like certain magazines, and […]
The following video is an advanced shooting drill run by the Russian FSB Alpha teams. Although the video is almost 3 years old, it’s too insane not to share. The Russian military has always leaned more towards the extreme side of training for both Spetsnaz and the elite FSB Alpha teams. What are your thoughts […]

Now, ideally, you don’t want to go to the ground…especially if the ground is hard or you have multiple attackers. But sometimes, that’s where it ends up. So, if you end up […]
Add-on magwells have been something I’ve avoided for years. I simply didn’t see the expense and reduction in conceal-ability to be better than simply training more to not need a funnel on the bottom of my gun. That changed with the release of L2D Combat’s Lo-Pro Magwell. Unlike most other magwells for Glock, the Lo-Pro […]
