Should a Concealed Carrier Engage an Active Shooter?
With the spate of mass shooting attacks the last couple years, I’ve had a few people ask my thoughts on responding to a mass shooting as an armed citizen. Someone else asked the same question on a forum recently, and I’ve decided to give my opinion. When someone asks, “If I wind up in a […]
Magazines: Manipulation, Care and Feeding
Magazines and the firearms they fit can be fickle. Some guns will hum along on whatever magazine you put in them, while others…not so much.

Hop Up Your Glock With the L2D Combat Magwell: Watch Graham Baates Video
Add-on magwells have been something I’ve avoided for years.

That changed with the release of L2D Combat’s Lo-Pro Magwell. Unlike most other magwells for Glock, the Lo-Pro […]

If bigger is better is your mantra then CMMG has the rifle for you. The CMMG Anvil is a 458 Socom AR style rifle designed to do whatever you need 600 grains of ass kickery to do. This massive rifle isn’t quite a AR 15 or quite a AR 10. This is something entirely different. […]
Best 9mm AR Build Ever: New Frontier Armory’s C-5 AR Uses MP5 Magazines
New Frontier Armory’s (NFA) C-5 ARs are not just another Colt clone. These guns run MP5 magazines. The big advantage to this is that the MP5 magazines are a true double stack magazine, feeding from both sides. This makes them run great in AR carbines and rifles. I have been working with Pistol Caliber Carbines […]

Defensive and specialty handgun loads easily number in the hundreds. But what about rifles? Aside from bonded bullets, and meat-destroying fracturing loads hunters aren’t left with many options. G2 Research has […]
