Getting your hands dirty: The practical value of impractical hobbies
You take a rusty piece of scrap metal, a hack saw, a file, and you get to work. After hours of cutting, grinding, and sanding spread out of a week’s worth of days, you’re left with a knife that’s probably not quite as good as one you might buy at Walmart for just less than […]
Want to Fold Your Rifle? Three Choices, One Video
The PDW craze is upon us. After the ATF changed its opinion again to re-allow braces to be shouldered Americans have been busy building compact weapons that are easier to store, transport, and wield.

Should a Concealed Carrier Engage an Active Shooter?

When I was a kid, my dad was a car guy, or well a truck guy. His hobby was to take 60 and 70s model Fords and restore them. For one summer we both worked together on a truck, and it was an opportunity for us to bond. My dad and I never had much […]
Watch the Ultimate Video Guide to AR Pistols: The Legal Brief

Watch Brownell’s Glock 19 Slide: Built and Tested
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.

Axelson Tactical ROC Muzzle Brake
The Axelson Tactical ROC Muzzle brake took me some time to get used to. I’m not gonna lie, while I was impressed by the quality of the muzzle brake I didn’t think tuning a brake was a real thing. I was, however, willing to experiment. The ROC Muzzle brake is more than a gimmick. The […]

Co-branded products are always interesting to me.

So when Ammo Inc announced a collaboration with celebrity/motorcycle enthusiast/custom gun builder Jesse James in early 2017 to release the […]
