Alien Gear pistol holsters have benefitted from some excellent marketing on the internet as of late. Thanks to Facebook’s targeted marketing algorithm, Alien Gear ads have inundated my news feed for months, touting the holster as the “world’s most comfortable” inside-the-belt holster. The price points for these holsters run between $29.88 and $43.88, which seemed […]

SilencerCo Spectre II Suppressor
The .22 LR caliber firearms aren’t very loud to begin with—add a suppressor to that and you’ve got a very quiet shooter that is perfect for plinking or hunting small game.

Grey Ghost Gear range bag | Deployment ready
Grey Ghost Gear (GGG) is one part of the strategic triumvirate that also features Grey Ghost Precision (GGP) and Tactical Tailor.
