SnagMag knows that no survivor of a gunfight has come out of the life or death situation thinking, “I wish I hadn’t carried that extra ammunition on me.” Is there such a thing as “extra” ammunition? How much ammunition is enough ammunition to carry when carrying concealed? Is what you have in the gun going […]
I wrote recently how Wicked Grips introduced me to an old friend, my 1911. They are continuing to keep us close. Wicked Grips have just introduced a line of 1911 magazines that has had be buying more 45 ACP. The Wicked Grips magazine line includes mags for the big four 1911 calibers. 45 ACP, 10 […]
Ever head out to the range for an informal day of shooting and decide to run mag change drills with your spare mag in your pants pocket? Unless you carefully stage that mag just right, it usually ends up an embarrassing display. It should also serve as a flashing red warning light for those who […]
Hexmag was founded in early 2013. They actually started as a prototyping exercise in 3-D design and printing. They sold their first Hexmag March 2014. I have had a lot of different magazines in my life from issued GI mags to Magpul P-Mags. For full disclosure I have my own personal Hexmag that was given […]
(Article originally published on The Truth About Guns) When GLOCK introduced its long-awaited sub-compact 9mm G43 to the U.S. market, naysayers were not impressed. “It’s too late to the party!” they cried, as if GLOCK’s commercial caution had offended the gods of free market capitalism.

Having a spare magazine for your pistol when carrying is a must. In the event you have a feeding issue it’s nice to have a spare mag to fall back on. Eject the suspect magazine and insert a fresh mag. A spare mag is also useful for tac reloads on the move if you find […]
Editors note: Article originally published on Breach Bang Clear by BBC-Guest. For those shoot a lot and train often, the Magpacker is something you wish you had years ago! Speed loaders have been around for some time but, in my experience, they were bulky and sometimes you were better off loading with your fingers. I’d seen the […]
According to a TACOM Maintenance Information Message (16-039) released last week, the US Army is introducing a new M4 Enhanced Performance Magazine. While we haven’t seen an example yet, it will be easy to discern from previous magazines. Sporting a Tan body and Blue follower, it was engineered to address feeding issues with M855A1 ammunition.

Congratulations “Fumble Fingers” you just dropped your magazine on the ground and bet your life on the way you reloaded your gun in an encounter with a bad guy or gal. Or, now the mag you let hit the dirt is all gritty and dirty and not functional. Or, you thought you had 10 rounds […]
