Pistol-caliber-carbines are excellent firearms for a variety of reasons. Generally handgun ammunition is less expensive, has less recoil, and is more readily available than rifle ammunition. Add to that the increased practicality for home-defense use and indoor ranges being more welcoming and the PCC becomes a solid option. Previously PCCs were less desirable due to […]

Custom 1911 Grips from AlumaGrips
AlumaGrips has been my recent source for great great grips. Earlier we showed you a basic set of 1911 grips in this article. When AlumaGrips added options for America’s rifle, the AR-15 I grabbed a set for my Freedom Ordnance FX-9 Pistol as seen here. What I hadn’t yet experienced was their custom-order process. A […]
Pistol vs. Active Shooter With A Rifle? Myths & Facts
History repeats itself…sadly and ignorantly. In the last few days, an ill-informed propagandist from MSNBC said that someone with a pistol doesn’t have a chance against a bad guy with a rifle because rifle bullets travel 3x faster. And then a US Senator said that getting shot by a pistol was no more effective than […]
Glock Magwell by SLR Rifleworks
Once upon a time magwells were only found on 1911’s or other highly tuned competition pistols. Those days are long past and now accessories once thought to only exist on race guns are making their way onto peoples favorite range toy or every day carry weapons.

Stag 10S .308 Battle Rifle: a Little More “Boom” Than “Pew”
With all they advancements of AR-15s it’s easy to forget that the original intent of Eugene Stoner was to build a battle rifle, not an assault rifle. The original design, the AR-10 was for the .308/7.62x51mm cartridge. There are several reasons why that model was droped by the military and the M-16 was born, but […]
The Constitution, the Bill of Rights and how the Second Protects them all
One question I am often asked is “how do you argue with someone who is against guns?” It’s not always easy. Sometimes facts and statistics can go against us if we don’t have all the information. For example, after posting the article about how the shooter from the Bronx Lebanon Hospital shooting was legally able […]
Light Shed on a Hidden Gem: DoubleStar Midnight Dragon
With a flooded AR-15 market it’s easy to ignore models that have been out there for a while, and even easier to ignore them if they haven’t been recently seen on a magazine cover cradled by some full-sleeve-tattooed gym rat with a perfectly-groomed operator beard. Add to that the increasingly affordable options for home builds […]
Strike’s Arch-El – The Charging Handle From Hell
A while back I had an AR that identified as a hunting rifle and needed an optic and needed a mount. Warne provided a mount, and Nikon provided the optic. After a bit of shooting a scope equipped AR 15 I was getting really sick of that teeny tiny mil spec charging handle. With the […]

Axelson AT Combat Trigger Pack
Triggers matter. A better trigger can make a firearm much more shootable. In the case of the AR-15 it has a pretty good mil-spec trigger. Many companies have come to the market with excellent triggers that significantly improve upon the feel of the AR-15 trigger (Geissele or the Larue MBT for example). Axelson has come […]
