The need for a lightweight, easily portable, but powerful weapon is one outdoors folk regularly have. Be it camping, hunting, or just a bit of adventuring anytime you step outside of civilization you should want a weapon that can bring you back. This Tristar folding shotgun fits the bill for me, and I was pleasantly surprised […]

The Omni Hyrbid Lower Receiver: The Future or a Flub?
I’m far from a Luddite in terms of guns. I love new technology and love seeing companies push the bounds when it comes to using different materials, bucking the norm, or just trying something new. The Chiappa Rhino is an awesome example of what works. Is the Omni Hybrid Lower Receiver an example of what […]
Radian Raptor Limited Edition charging handle in MultiCam Black
Today I’m doing a quick review on the new Radian Raptor Limited Edition Multicam Black charging handle and ambidextrous safety selector. Radian put this limited edition bundle out at a higher price point than their other Raptor charging handles to support the 2nd amendment in Oregon. All proceeds went to organizing the Defend the 2nd […]
Jerry Miculek versus Bump stock | Man or machine?
While many online have spend considerable time debating the merits and demerits of bump stocks, one of the quickest ways to reductio ad absurdum (reduce to absurdity) the anti-bump stock argument is to point out that a talented shooter with a properly tuned rifle can exceed both the rate-of-fire and lethality generated by a bump stock […]
.50 BMG versus Steel plate INSIDE ballistic gel
Rifles, optics, plate carriers and more: we at Loadout Room test and review a wide variety of gear. Sometimes though, we like to sit back and watch shit blow up. While I’m excitedly working on this week’s reviews, I currently have exactly zero .50 BMG chambered rifles, armor-piercing-incendiary-tracer (APIT) rounds, or even a nice little […]
Magneto Speed Riflekühl barrel cooler
We’re making the barrel smoke today testing the Magneto Speed Riflekühl barrel cooler. I’m Pumping rounds through the FAL getting the barrel hot enough for testing. After firing at least 40 rounds through the barrel it began to get hot and produce smoke. I locked the bolt back and inserted the Riflekühl barrel cooler into the chamber. I switched […]
Why I chose the Glock 43 as my concealed carry pistol
I’ve been carrying a concealed pistol now for just about thirty years. I’ve gone through more than my share of different pistols and holsters during that time from a S. & W. Chiefs Special 5 shot revolver to Glocks. The Glock pistols have become my favorite over the years due to its lightweight, easily replaced […]
Rock Island Armory’s Comfy Cannon, the 6 inch 10mm 1911!
Rock Island Armory has tamed the 10mm with a 6″-barreled 1911 known as the Pro Match Ultra. Anyone of those words independently hints at above average, putting them all together almost sounds a bit too far. Fortunately, with Rock Island, it isn’t and this gun delivers with features once considered custom right out of the […]
Going hot testing the new 27 round Glock PMAG
We are going hot today testing the new 27 Round Glock PMAG in the AR9. After running 21 round Pmags I figured why not give these 27 rounders a shot. The Pmag looks cool hanging out of the AR9 with the Reaper Z GunSkin and looks straight gangster in the Glock 19. This 27 round […]
