Muzzle devices are one of those accessories that can easily frustrate. Prices range from $20 to “You want how much for that?!”. Having tested over a dozen for the AK series of rifles I was hesitant to try something for the Northwest Rifle in 300 Blackout. I knew the A2-style flash-hider had to go, but […]

How the U.S. Army Got Shafted Out of the FN FAL
The FN FAL is one of the greatest battle rifles ever made. Politics caused the U.S. Army to pass on it while nearly every other NATO country in the world recognized its superiority. And the 7.62 NATO is one of the greatest battle rounds ever made. But we needed an intermediate round. Here’s the story. […]
Top 10 Reasons Dry Fire Beats Live Fire Practice
Ask any world class competitive shooter or high speed tactical shooter about dry fire and they’ll tell you that it’s the secret to their success…it’s what separates the men from the boys.

Smoke Wagon by Taylor’s & Co. Brings Back the Old West
Gun-lovers can breathe easily, at least until 2018. The 2016 elections have eased fears that what we want today may be banned tomorrow (Except behind enemy lines in California).

Ruger LC380: New Shooter Friendly
The Ruger LC380 offers new shooters, especially newer female shooters, a great option for concealed carry. Many women who purchase a firearm for self defense end up with a snappy little .380. They take it to the range once or twice, and find shooting it so uncomfortable that they never try it again. The Ruger […]
Pool Noodle Plate Rack for Airsoft & Pellet Pistols
A couple years ago, I went to Wal-Mart to buy some of my favorite targets (I’ll tell you about them sometime soon) but they were out. I had my Malinois with me, and we used the garden exit so she wouldn’t have to walk on hot pavement any more than necessary. Pool noodles were on sale…cheap…and I […]
