Courtesy of Tactical Life Heckler & Koch’s roller-delayed weapons are among the most desirable firearms ever imported into the U.S. These genuine HKs—“legacy arms” in company lingo—came to our shores in quantity during the 1980s but are now somewhat scarce after an importation ban in the early 1990s. The SP89 pistol is among the rarest […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life Although this land is still the United States, the landscape is vastly different than what our grandfathers and great-grandfathers saw as they brought this nation to the world stage in the 20th century. The ever-shifting sands of public sentiment and the loss of our society’s comprehension of and faith in our […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life Gen. Mark Milley testified this summer before the Senate Armed Service Committee and expressed the U.S. Army‘s need for a new 7.62 rifle. Dubbed the “Interim Combat Service Rifle,” or ICSR, the proposed weapon would be issued to infantry units for the purposes of defeating enemy body armor. Body armor, you know, […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life When a company known for its ARs enters the precision bolt gun realm, it is usually met with some skepticism. While semi-autos can be extremely accurate, the world of bolt guns is much more of an art form. But even with the new challenge, this is exactly what the great minds […]

Daniel Defense was late to that particular arena, but the DD5V1 was certainly worth the wait. To piggyback that, its new sibling — the DD5V2 […]

The AK-12’s success in military trials sets it up to become the standard weapon for […]
I first came across the Chiappa Little Badger survival rifle in a magazine a few months ago, and distinctly recall thinking to myself, “I’m not sure how useful that would be… but it sure looks cool,” as I kept flipping through the pages. In that brief moment, I told myself that if I came across […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life Smith & Wesson has announced it is now shipping out new versions of its M&P15 Sport II rifles. These two models have been designed to work within the bounds of California’s strict laws for semi-auto centerfires. Chambered in 5.56mm NATO, the California-compliant versions of the rifle both feature a 10-round magazine; fixed stock […]
Courtesy of Breach Bang Clear Black Rain Ordnance – BROmance with a rifle? Mike the Mook If you’ve been following us on social media (and you should be), you already know we received a couple rifles from Black Rain Ordnance. Shoot ’em and see what you think, they said, so we did. The Tactical Hippie already told you what he […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life In June, a Canadian Special Forces sniper set a new record by killing an ISIL fighter from a distance of about 2.2 miles. The shot was taken using a McMillan TAC-50, bolt action rifle. To the precision shooting community, the weapon of choice is not a surprise. The tighter tolerances of bolt guns […]
