Professional Gear Reviews
Now that the Great Ammo Recession of 2008-2016 is over for most parts of the country, many shooters are hoping for a return to the days of cheap and abundant ammunition. Having had an opportunity in recent weeks to test out different 9mm loads, I was excited at the prospect of being sent an inexpensive […]
We’ve presented the rules for firearm safety in a number of different ways: from think pieces to analysis, from training tips to horror stories, but throughout all of our efforts to help keep our fellow firearm enthusiasts honest and responsible, there’s one thing we never thought of trying: lingerie. Fortunately for all of us, Griffon […]
Mec Gar produces more than 200 different models of pistol magazines, covering many of the worlds top brands and models. The privately owned and operated company has made more than 100 million magazines since 1965 in it’s two Italian factories nestled in the foot hills of the Italian Alps. They obviously are doing something right, […]
The gun question: does a prepper need a gun? And if they do, what kind should they buy? I’ve been asked this more times than I care to count. The responses to this question are as varied as the people answering it. Camp AR15 versus camp AK47, team semi-auto against team revolver. In my opinion, it isn’t as simple as what kind […]

While the addition of either of these features is not a must for a functional carry gun, they substantially improve the recoil management of the pistol by dampening muzzle rise through the […]
Is the Glock magazine from Elite Tactical Systems just another polymer mag? Not really. The ETS magazine has a few features not found on the run-of-the-mill options out there. Instead of using a black polymer like Glock and Magpul, ETS uses a smoked transparent polymer allowing the user to quickly visualize the status of the […]
As a product review writer, I find excitement in the big, fancy products just like everyone else. Equally, I find the little components that incrementally improve the machine to be fascinating. I don’t believe the next generation of service rifles or sidearms will be a revolutionary leap forward, I believe they’ll be sum of all the improvements […]
XS Sights (formerly XS Sight Systems) is packing some nice tritium sights into a little package. When given the chance to shed the stock blocks from my Glock 17 franken-tester, how could I say no? The question isn’t really whether XS Sight’s product is an upgrade over stock, it’s whether the 24/7 Big Dot Xpress […]
In order to provide our readers with the best content possible, the writers spend a fair amount of time shooting on the range. It was a pleasant surprise to have Armscor USA provide some of their ammunition to test. Not only does this lower our operating costs, but it allows us to throw another load […]
Photo by Alex Landeen At the recent Athlon Outdoors Rendezvous, held in Gateway, Colo., I was introduced to a gun that I haven’t stopped thinking about. Based on Beretta’s 92F the gun has a barrel which measures .75 inches shorter running on a full size frame. The result is a slick and fast-handling gun called the […]
