You do not always have to go to a gun store to purchase an AR-15. Surprised? I know I was when I first ventured into the hobby of building custom AR-15s. Some of you may not know, but building your own AR-15 is actually quite simple. However, if you do not know anything about the […]
For decades, the American military has struggled with ways to improve handgun effectiveness while avoiding the bad press of using hollow point ammo (sometimes called “Dum dum” bullets). The Army has announced that the M-17 Modular Handgun System (MHS) will shoot hollow points in combat. A recent study by the Federal Bureau of Investigation concluded […]
Get ready. I’m about to overturn what a lot of knowledgeable “gun people” think they know about the Army’s M855A1 “Green Round”.

The National Firearms Act is a burdensome legislation that’s been around since 1934. In the NFA’s infinite wisdom some guns are more equal than others and subject to onerous federal legislation. The NFA is such a hassle of paperwork and fees many gun owners simply choose to live without it in their lives. Others live […]
“Preppers” love the .22 for its availability, affordability, and the ease with which they can be stored and carried, however others dislike them for their lack of stopping power. Almost every shooter will have fired their first shots from a .22, probably at some dirt bank covered in improvised targets.
SIG’s becoming a behemoth in the firearms industry. Less than 5 years ago SIG was mainly known for their P series of pistols. In 2017 they are known for their pistols, their suppressors, optics, rifles, optics, and of course ammunition. SIG Sauer seems to be aiming to become a one stop shop in the firearms […]
