Cloak from Aliengear: The Smartest Mag Carrier You Will Never See

Cloak from Aliengear: The Smartest Mag Carrier You Will Never See

Loading up your belt with spare magazines for a training or competition event has always been easy.  Doing the same for concealed carry has not.  Aliengear appears to have solved this with the Cloak Mag Carrier. Single-stack guns give us ease of conceal-ability and comfort for every-day concealed carry.  Where they leave us wanting is […]

VG6 Precision Gamma: When A Muzzle Brake Works

VG6 Precision Gamma: When A Muzzle Brake Works

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 […]

Smoke Wagon by Taylor’s & Co. Brings Back the Old West

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).  We’ve rushed out and bought our AR-15s, normal-capacity magazines, and loaded up on ammo.  At least for a little while we can relax and get back […]

L-Tech and Shell Shock Technologies Produce Outstanding Ammunition

L-Tech and Shell Shock Technologies: Outstanding Ammunition

L-Tech Ammunition and Shell Shock Technologies have recently produced perhaps the best ammunition you’ve never heard of.  Accurate, consistent and reliable is about all one can ask for in the ammunition world and yet it is sometimes so hard to find.  This particular load combines a solid-copper 124gr projectile with the latest two-piece shell design […]

HotShot Elite Ammo, is it Really?

HotShot Elite Ammo? Thumbs Up

The HotShot line of ammunition from Century Arms has been part of a revival for the company.  Once simply a source of surplus firearms, Century is moving into becoming a strong brand.  Not a lot is known about their ammo line aside from partially incorrect assumption that it is merely inexpensive Russian-made plinking ammo.  The […]

Shots Fired: Thureon Defense 9mm Carbine

Thureon Defense builds a variety of pistol-caliber carbines in your choice of caliber (including 10mm!) and magazine compatibility.  Earlier we gave you our first look at one in 9mm that feeds from Glock magazines.  Unlike most other pistol-caliber carbines Thureon builds them from the ground up for pistol calibers.  This makes for a receiver that […]

Traditions Frontier Line:1873 Colt Anyone Can Enjoy

Traditions Frontier Line:1873 Colt Anyone Can Enjoy

The secret is out, shooters are looking for new challenges and more fun at the range.  The challenge remains however in finding the right gun.  1873 Colt-styled Single-Action Army revolvers are loads of fun.  Booming out 200-255 grain projectiles with the squeeze of a crisp trigger after the musical clicks of cocking the hammer.  Traditions […]

MagGuts: The True +1 for your Handgun

MagGuts: The True +1 for your Handgun

MagGuts has changed the meaning of “+1” for carry guns.  Typically when someone refers to +1 capacity they are referencing an additional round in the chamber.  A full magazine is inserted and presto!  You’ve just increased your capacity. Modern single-stacks like the Walther PPS M2 have options of six, seven, or eight-round magazines.  The longer […]

The Truth About Gun Tests: The Accuracy of Modern Firearms

The Truth About Gun Tests: The Accuracy of Modern Firearms

Gun tests are everywhere.  It seems that for every make and model there is a report of amazing results, especially if it’s in a pay-for-play magazine or on a pay-for-play YouTube channel.  Countering those claims are often dozens of e-experts who claim the most terrible experiences ever not recorded.  The truth is they could very likely all […]

Hardened Arms LumaShark: Fear Not the Dark!

Hardened Arms LumaShark: Fear Not the Dark!

Hardened Arms is a growing company based in Washington State.  It makes sense that folks living and working in a land that sees limited sunshine would create a way to fight the dark and what lurks within it.  Boasting dual 1150-lumen lumination built into the hand guard the LumaShark is available both as a complete […]
