The last eight years saw an unprecedented expansion of gun ownership in America. Some of us already owned a few before the “scare era” of gun buying began. Those who did now own dozen, and those who are new gun owners may have listened to the suggestions of others as to what to buy in […]
For training and competition, you need threat and non-threat targets. In the past we have made copies, painted graffiti and home made cardboard cutout stencils to paint the same boring old cutout hands on targets. Patriot Stencils are laser cut, solvent proof Mylar to produce quality high images when painted. Because the material is so […]
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen the name Jedburgh associated with tactical gear, but it’s one of my favorite references. The Jedburgh teams were Special Ops before Special Ops really existed. These guys worked with the OSS and Resistance forces around WW2 to kill Nazis at the cyclic rate. They operated behind enemy lines, […]
.30 Carbine for a home defense round ? I know even typing that sentence might launch the site into a whole new realm of craziness and drama. The .30 Carbine round and specifically the M1 Carbine was tagged with a terrible rumor that it was ineffective and not lethal, there are hundreds of thousands of […]
As the popularity of pistol-caliber carbines grow, so does the list of options. Not long ago we brought you the Hailstorm by Dark Storm Industries.

It’s not a new concept. 150 years or so ago, it was called the “Gunfighter’s Seat.” It’s the seat in a restaurant, bar, office, […]
American manufacturer Kahr most recently released an updated version of their popular carry guns. The S9 was our first look at this gun. If you’re not familiar with the upgrades check out the original coverage here. Adding additional internal rails and front slide serrations took an already excellent firearm and made it a little better. […]
Known for delivering innovative, practical products to market, CMMG continues to live up to its reputation with the release of the new Mk4 DTR2 rifle, chambered in 224 Valkyrie. The 224 Valkyrie is designed to be an incredibly flat-shooting round by achieving supersonic velocities out to 1,300 yards. With the added benefits of minimal recoil […]
There is a lot of conflicted and confusing information on gun fights. Paul Harrell does a great job unpacking the statistics and provides some interesting conclusions. Paul talks about distances, number of rounds fired and perceptual distortion in citizen involved shootings. It is not enough to have opinions. you need to question what you know […]
