The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
I’m quite forgiving when it comes to realism in movies — I don’t have to watch a one-for-one retelling of a firefight with perfect tactics and flawless uniforms in order to enjoy it. For starters, I realize that soldiers in real life make stupid mistakes all the time, and I realize that actors are not […]
The last eight years saw an unprecedented expansion of gun ownership in America. Some of us already owned a few before the “scare era” of gun buying began. Those who did now own dozen, and those who are new gun owners may have listened to the suggestions of others as to what to buy in […]
The Lionheart LH9 is not too new to the market, but it’s popularity in recent years seems to have thinned out. Some pistols make a huge first impression on the market, do very well for a while, and then without warning, all the enthusiasm and media attention just ceases. Sales on these pistols never stopped, […]
It’s not a bad time to be a gun enthusiast in our industry. The recently infamous (again) AR15 rifle (or as we like to call it, adult Lego set) has never been more modular or given shooters more options for parts and accessories. Every company is seemingly content to carry on in rodomontade about their […]
I’ll be the first to admit that I hate math – it never was my strong suit. However, visiting the range reminds me that math has “real life” applications, including improving your shooting. Long range shooters, like snipers, are especially aware of how mathematics and physics must be effectively employed to achieve accuracy. However, short […]
In many texts around the web, you’ll find one common incorrect explanation of this phenomenon: a simplistic approach derived from the formula used to calculate compensation. You may have read that your shot will land high because, when shooting at an angle, gravity has less effect on the bullet trajectory, since the horizontal distance traveled […]
The PTR91 GI Model is a true Battle Rifle in every bit of the definition. It is durable, it has little recoil, it has great accuracy at range, and it is even modular. PTR really makes a winner with this model. This rifle has a long history before PTR got their hands on the blueprints and started […]
Grand Power makes some incredible handguns. Some have referred to them as, “the best handguns you’ve never heard of”. I’ve been fortunate to get my hands on several of them including the XCalibur, K100, P11, P1 Ultra, P40, and recently the CP 380. Most famous for their rotating barrel and completely ambidextrous controls, the CP […]
Reloading .22LR has almost always been shooter fiction. History has proven though that it is possible. Throughout history, there have been kits that make reloading .22LR doable. Some kits worked very well, and others were very basic. Today, there is a company that makes a .22LR reloading kit right here in American. Personally, when I […]
The other day we looked at a rat blaster Shottie for the Dread Pirate Roberts. Today we’ll check out a possible replacement 1911 for Lt. Marion Cobretti. This isn’t to say his former blaster, a Cold Gold Cup National Match 1911, wasn’t nice enough…we just feel like this Ed Brown model would go better with […]
