Contrary to the mass media’s hysterical hand-wringing the idea of a ghost gun isn’t all that special. They aren’t a threat and calling them ghost guns is kind of a dumb way to say home built guns. Building guns at home is an American past time and are completely legal. Our country has been doing […]

Safariland QLS Holster System
We, as shooters, are always looking for the next leg up in holsters: we want more secure retention, faster draws and lower profiles. We want better mounting platforms and a softer finish that won’t scratch the finish right off our guns. We want and we want but few manufacturers come close to meeting all those […]
Danner Acadia | King of the Mountain
My experience with Danner boots began back in 2001 when the Acadia was the issued winter boot for all Rangers within the 75th Ranger Regiment. It didn’t take long for anyone to figure out they were far superior to the green “Jungle Boots” in almost every application. Since that time, I’ve toured the Danner factory as well as taken […]
Full-Auto vesus Semi-Auto
I grew up in a family full of Veterans and one of my favorite memories was heading to coffee with my Grandpa Jim and all the other WW2 Vets in town. Hearing the way they bullshitted with each other left a strong impression. Deja Vu set in once I joined the Army, as hearing a group […]
300 Blackout car door penetration test
When the .300 Blackout (a standardized offspring of the wildcat .300 Whisper) was introduced a few years back, it immediately garnered a lot of attention. Despite its similarity with regards to the ballistic trajectory to the well-known 7.62×39, this was a round that promised improved terminal performance through more modern bullet design. This made a […]
Yankee Hill Machine Backup Iron Sights
With the quality of primary optics being at an all time high, I’ve noticed a trend of many shooters skipping back-up iron sights (BUIS) on their primary fighting rifle. I feel that if a gun is to be used for more than competition or as a range toy, BUIS are still a critical component to have. I was […]
Vortex Razor AMG UH-1 | Holographic Greatness
The saying in real estate goes something like “Location, location, location”. In most industries, it’s more like “Timing, timing, timing”. Such has been the case with more than a few products by Vortex Optics, a Wisconsin headquartered manufacturer. While the Vortex UH-1 holographic sight had been in development for some time, performance issues by holographic […]
Danner Scorch 6″ Hot Weather Boot | Quick Look
It’s no secret that I enjoy using Danner boots, and it’s no surprise why. In the toughest environments I’ve been in, Danner boots have held their own. In heat over 110 degrees and while being ground against jagged rocks, my issued Acadia’s were totally dependable. During a tour of the Danner factory in Portland, OR, […]
Ghost Gunner 2 CNC Review | Machining for the masses
The concept of a company bundling an 80% completed firearm receiver with a kit to finish the product has been around since the ’90’s. The last 10 years have seen a massive increase in both the number of kits and the variety of firearms they’re available for. Defense Distributed (DefDist) is producing the Ghost Gunner […]
Dead Foot Arms folding stock | Fire when folded
Most often, the first company to bring a new class of product to market receives the lions share of attention for the first couple of years. However, it seems to me it’s the company who perfects the system over time who goes down as the ultimate winner. Such may be the case with Dead Foot Arms. […]
