Recoil

Tubb Precision flatwire springs overview

Tubb Precision flatwire springs overview

Growing up immersed in the “gun culture”, was a rewarding and character-building part of my childhood.  Being raised in rural Alaska meant the only window outside of subsistence hunting culture was through the monthly gun mags in the local grocery store.  When competitive shooting was brought up, one name was repeated over and over.  David Tubb.  […]

Pistol Shooting | Don't fear the flinch

Pistol Shooting | Don’t fear the flinch

It’s a cliche as old as saying “it’s as old as”. A new shooter grouping low and left and someone tells them to stop flinching, stop anticipating recoil. Well, I’m here to tell you to keep flinching. Why wouldn’t you anticipate recoil? Just change when. There are two different flinches when it comes to shooting […]

Axelson Tactical ROC Muzzle Brake

Axelson Tactical ROC Muzzle Brake

The Axelson Tactical ROC Muzzle brake took me some time to get used to. I’m not gonna lie, while I was impressed by the quality of the muzzle brake I didn’t think tuning a brake was a real thing. I was, however, willing to experiment. The ROC Muzzle brake is more than a gimmick. The […]

The Softest-Shooting AR, DPM Systems Recoil Reducing Buffer

DPM Systems has been finding ways to reduce felt recoil in all sorts of handguns.  I’ve been using their system in my Walthers for a couple of years and am happy to see they now have a system for the AR-15. The concept is simple: Most perceived recoil comes from the slamming of mechanical parts […]

CZ 82: A Pistol 007 Would Love

CZ 82: A Pistol 007 Would Love

James Bond would like the CZ 82. Okay, so Bond’s signature firearm was a Walther PPK, and not the CZ, but at my first sight of the Czech military pistol, I couldn’t help but to recall the hero’s famous blued compact. The Walther’s design predates the 82, and its Russian predecessor, the Makarov, by many […]

CZ 82 – the Milsurp 007 Would Love

James Bond likes the CZ 82. Okay, so Bond’s signature firearm was a Walther PPK, and not the CZ, but at my first sight of the Czech military pistol, I couldn’t help but to recall the hero’s famous blued compact. The Walther’s design predates the 82, and its Russian predecessor, the Makarov, by many years […]

Ported/compensated pistols and their relevance

Ported/compensated pistols and their relevance

The trend of utilizing compensators and ported barrels on an everyday carry handgun has slowly made its way into the tactical shooting community from the competition community. 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 […]

Shooting Flinch: Understand It To Conquer It

Shooting Flinch: Understand It To Conquer It

In this shooting tip, I just want to discuss the shooting flinch and how you can alleviate it, if only temporarily. We have all embarrassed ourselves in front of our friends or strangers by pulling the trigger on a rifle or pistol and jolting it forward on an empty chamber or a dud round. Heck, […]

Sprinco Recoil-Management System: First Impression

Sprinco Recoil-Management System First Impression

Sprinco USA Recoil Reducers manage impact forces on the handgun slide and frame interface to produce the optimum balance of recoil and reliability. A lot of science went into the design of the graduated sub-spring. They are engineered for each model of handgun to ensure normal cycling and reliability. Reduced slide-to-frame impact results in reduced […]
