The Glock pistol is a polymer-framed, short recoil-operated, locked-breech semi-automatic pistol designed and produced by Austrian Glock Ges.m.b.H.. It entered Austrian military and police service by 1982 after it was the top performer in reliability and safety tests. Despite initial resistance from the market to accept a perceived “plastic gun” due to unfounded durability and reliability concerns and […]
There are some trips to the range that I remember very clearly… A decade or so ago, I bought an H&K USPc. I immediately took it to the range, had the sights swapped out, and took it onto the range for a test fire. The darn thing shot low. I took it back to the gunsmith […]
Over the years, the A2 Flash Hider has gotten a bad rap. The Army spent a lot of time and money developing this marvel. It doesn’t look as cool as the new aggressive muzzle brakes, but it does a different job. The flash hider reduces flash so you are not blinded and there are no […]
Brownell’s has long been a friend of the gun builder. From their beginning as a parts and tool supply to their growth into their current status as the Candyland for gun lovers. Not long ago they began making their own AR-15 magazines (I’ve seen it personally, these are not simple rebrands), and now they offer […]
The US Military is actively looking to modernize its small arms. The current legacy systems are designs that originated in the 1950s and are pretty much at their design evolutionary limits. To improve the system’s core capabilities the round it fires needed to change. From Soldiers Systems here is the 5,000 unit solicitation for the new machine […]

LEOSA is a United States federal law which allows qualified current and former law enforcement officers to carry a concealed handgun in any jurisdiction in the United States, regardless of state or local laws, with certain […]
When I say Leupold you likely instantly think of rifle scopes, likely magnified scopes. Leupold makes more than that though. They have a series of red dots, miniature red dots, monoculars, and binoculars. Their binoculars are what we are talking about today. Specifically the BK-1 McKenzie 10x42mm binos. BK-1 McKenzie Specs: Magnification – 10x Objective Lenses […]
Most people who learn to shoot start in the same place. They learn how to grip the firearm, how to line up the sights, how to squeeze the trigger without moving those sights, and how to stand to allow for the most efficient control of the firearm. Unfortunately, this is where many people stop in […]
Way back before the internet, the Army made training films. In 1966, the XM-16E1 was the new hotness and the Army wanted to train a million draftees how to use it. They produced an Operation and Function Training Video which is still one of the most informative videos ever made. It uses a cut away […]
