Sometimes a product comes out of nowhere and really catches you by surprise, especially from companies that don’t typically cross your desk. The FlipDot from NcStar was one such product. The FlipDot is a fascinating design from a company known for making very simple red dots. As the name implies the FlipDot is a red dot sight that […]
DoubleStar has been stealthily crafting some incredible rifles. Their Midnight Dragon not only looks cool, but has given us the best ten-shot grouping we’ve ever accomplished when mixed with Nosler ammunition. Aside from accuracy and build quality, part of what sets DoubleStar rifles apart is aesthetics. Looks may not be the officially important, but I […]
At AlumaGrips, they start with T-6 aircraft aluminum and use precision CNC machining to assure precise fit and finish. Alumagrips are designed to fit the whole spectrum of handguns. They cover the Beretta 92, the entire range 1911s, Rugers, Sigs and even the AR-15 . They offer the strength and durability of an aluminum grip […]
Reviewing holsters is always fun, and I really love being proven wrong when I see an idea I think is a failure. One such idea I thought was a bit too far was the Comfort Cling Holster from Clinger Holsters. I like the No Print Wonder V2, so I figured I could give them a […]
The Llama MicroMax is a 1911ish pistol scaled down for a different Bronwing cartidge, the .380acp. We first took a look at this compact firearms in an earlier article. Like most guns chambered in .380acp the Micromax is blowback-operated which requires a careful balance of slide weight, spring rate, and calculation of the expected energy […]
I just ran into a video again from a couple of well known instructors who are great shooters. They that claimed that you shouldn’t practice a slow, deliberate trigger press because you don’t have time for that in a gunfight. It was one of those times when I hung my head and shook it in […]
Many of us learned to shoot with rifles and pistols chambered in .22lr. Personally I had nearly forgotten the caliber when ammunition got scarce and I sought bigger booms. Ammunition has returned to shelves and one simple truth remains; .22lr is an excellent training caliber. Walther Arms understand this and offers a 5″ PPQ in […]
The RPG is a rocket-propelled shaped charge antitank weapon that took its philosophical foundation from the German WWII Panzerfaust (although it shares little with that weapon mechanically). Over the course of WWII, the armor on tanks quickly because too heavy for man-portable anti-tank rifles to defeat. The RPG-7 is pretty far from being a forgotten […]
The market for the discrete carry of firearms is only growing. At one point the industry took a sharp right turn at a sign reading smaller is better. I think this is due to the advent of pistol braces. Pistol braces have made unwieldy and often front heavy guns like the pistol variants of the […]
The earliest surviving firearm in Europe was found in Estonia and dates back to 1396. Hand held firearms were employed by 15th century armies. They were very unreliable and actually less powerful than bows at the time. Their advantage was that to train a soldier to point a gun at a target was far easier […]
