When I went to Ranger School, I memorized the Ranger Creed and learned that “surrender is not a Ranger word.” I love that. As a student of military history, the Green Beret knows what happens after surrender. In Afghanistan, there were some very frank team-room discussions about capture. Short of being blown unconscious by an […]
One of the joys gun people get from the Star Wars movies is trying to figure out the REAL LIFE weapons which inspired the blasters of the Rebel Alliance. The coolest Star Wars weapons all started out on the battlefield. The guys at Generation Tech cover the Star Wars Blasters of the Galactic Empire. Watch More […]
“There is no such thing as a knife fight, there is a guy getting a stabbed and a guy doing the stabbing.” These words were screamed at my platoon as we learned the basics of knife fighting from one of the best MCMAP instructors I’d ever worked with. MCMAP, of the Marine Corps Martial Arts […]
By now most of us have accepted that pistol-caliber carbines are loads of fun. They cost less to shoot, don’t require a “rifle” range, and the report is much more bearable for on-lookers. Toss a can on it and some subsonic ammunition and it gets even quieter. One drawback however is the blow-back operating system. […]
Today, let’s take a closer look at the ubiquitous Beretta 92FS pistol. History Beretta first produced the 92 series pistols in 1976. However, the original 92 pistol design didn’t stay unchanged long. The same year, Beretta swapped the frame-mounted safety for a slide-mounted safety/de-cocker and called it the 92S. In 1981, Beretta made the safety/de-cocker […]
In order to maximize the performance of our 5.56 AR-style rifles, we typically need to be picky about the parts we use and we need to be sure they do exactly as advertised. Muzzle breaks are said to lower felt recoil and muzzle rise. In my test of the CruxOrd muzzle break, I am using […]
I have said that the Safariland ALS is the fastest holster in the world. Now I have to say that the new Safariland 7TS ALS holsters are even faster. A Bill Rogers concept, the 7TS is a glorious triumph of efficient American manufacturing, innovative materials, and design genius. A complete contradiction, the 7TS is an […]
The shotgun is a favorite home defense tool for the gun owning public. It’s a powerful and brutal weapon that excels in close quarters fighting and shooting in low light conditions. Shotguns are affordable, easy to use, and reliable weapons for home defense. Shotguns do lack the inherent modularity of most modern carbines on the market. […]
This last weekend, I was outside of Burnett TX at Reveille Peak Ranch for what might be the largest women’s shooting event in the world. The A Girl And A Gun National Conference. 350+ women working with instructors for 3-5 days. The facility is amazing…during the conference, shooters were doing pistol, carbine, shotgun, long range […]

The SAINT SBR with a forged lower receiver, and the SAINT EDGE SBR with a lightened billet lower, provide superior accuracy thanks […]
