Russia appears to be using its invasion of Ukraine as an opportunity to put the AK-12, the most promising model in the AK series, through real-battlefield testing. According to news reports, the Kalashnikov Concern is tweaking its AK-12 rifle according to the experience gained in Russia’s “special military operations” in Ukraine. CEO Vladimir Lepin states […]

AK-47 Accuracy and Reliability
Before the price gouging of weapons, while I was stationed at Ft. Benning GA, I purchased an AK-47 (Romanian) at a local dealership for $174.00. I wanted an AK-47 after a few deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, everyone in those areas of operations had one and it seemed to serve its purpose for them just […]
Russia’s new service rifles: Soviet firepower with an American flare
Few rifles have achieved the legendary status of the Soviet rifle of choice: the Kalashnikov AK-47. Its price, reliability and .30 caliber stopping power have made it a favorite among gunslingers everywhere from Third World dictatorships to high-end gun collections. Its legacy even continues to thrive in the Russian military today, in the form of the […]
The Over Exaggerated “C” Clamp Grip | Hype or Not?
Over the past 6 years or so, combative and realistic shooting techniques have adopted a new, exaggerated shooting stance/style. I first saw this way of shooting while serving overseas and a couple of guys were using it during shooting drills before an op. The shooters who use this style of shooting claim that it reduces […]
1-5 AR Drill!
Here is a fun drill that I like to conduct on the range whenever I’m behind the AR platform. You’ll learn a lot about your platform as well as yourself from this drill, especially if you have a friend record you shooting it. If you’re unfamiliar with trigger reset, muzzle control, eye/weapon target transitioning, body […]
At Home Shooting Range Time!
Many times we find that getting to the shooting range can be a hassle, may it be the weather, finances, range limitations, etc. There is a way you can stay on top of your game when you aren’t able to get out and shoot, and only cost you a few dollars. Something that I make […]
Combat Pistol Training!
Many times we find ourselves “training” on the range or at home. I ask my students often to describe or show me their combat training regimen. More often than not, I have to break them some bad news….It’s not “combat” training. When training for combat, self-defense, or home defense, you need to practice realistically. 9 […]
Talon Horus Optics!
I am often asked, “What reticle do you use on your carbines?” and “What do you think about the Horus Optics/reticle?”. I came across the Talon Horus Optic this weekend and decided to give my views, along with my experience with the Horus reticle as a short/medium and long-range shooter. The Talon scope, and H50 […]
LMT Ergo Rifle Grip!
If you’re wanting an excellent grip for you AR, I’d have to point you to the LMT Ergo Grip. I don’t think the standard AR grip was designed for comfort one bit. In fact, it feels like they designed it for the exact opposite, huge calluses start to form on my middle finger joint over long […]
Templar Tactical Firearms Suppressors!
I know we’ve done an article on the Templar Tactical Suppressors a few weeks ago, but I don’t think it was done enough justice. The featured video perfectly describes the effectiveness of the Templar Tactical and how it works from the CEO himself during an interview during the Bushnell Brawl which I attended in earlier […]
