New Frontier Armory (NFA) is shipping their C-5 AR receivers. Not just another Colt clone, these guns run MP5 magazines. The big advantage to this is that the MP5 magazines are great in carbines and rifles. The Colt magazines were hard to load and prone to failures. I have been working with Pistol Caliber Carbines […]
I work in an office environment and so try to keep things low-key. Fortunately I also work in the firearms industry so folks don’t freak out on the occasion that I walk down the hall with a carbine or two in hand. What you see here is my standard pocket load: Bersa BP9CC, phone, car […]
What’s the first upgrade you should make to any stock Glock pistol? The sights. Glock does a lot of things right, but they really lack in the sights department.

Meanwhile, in the […]
Fans of ESEE will remember we recently covered the Expat Cleaver. The Expat Cleaver was the first of many planned Expat knives designed by ESEE forum member and world traveler “Expat”. Like all Esee knives, the design comes from folks who are noted survival experts. At SHOT Show 2018 I had the chance to connect […]
All throughout the firearms community, there are people who only get practice from live fire at the range. This is good in some aspects such as the fact that you get used to the recoil of the firearm and get real time feedback on your performance and progress. I am all about spending a good […]
Primary Arms is well known for quality optics at reasonable prices. Their new 4X Compact Prism Scope with their Patented ACSS Reticle “Advanced Combined-Sighting System” continues that tradition. It has everything you could want in an affordable and easy-to-use package. The integrated mount attaches directly to a Picatinny rail, and with an optional mounting screw, […]
Nobody likes to pick up brass, but if you reload or shoot at a range that requires it, it’s a necessity. The Caldwell AR Picatinny Rail Brass Catcher takes the pain out of collecting brass while allowing you to move and shoot unhindered. This new model from Caldwell mounts securely to an AR-15 or AR-10 […]
