Professional Gear Reviews
Recently I started a two-part review of Liberty ammunition’s Civil Defense round. Part 1 can be read here. A +P defensive load zipping out around 2150 FPS, this diminutive 50gr bullet looks impressive. I had some doubts during my first range day as my chronograph was recording high variability in the velocity. This manifested […]
Having just returned from my first Triggrcon, I thought I’d share a few notes and products from the event. For those who don’t know, Triggrcon is a firearms industry convention started by John Hwang (Rainier Arms owner) that is hosted annually in the Pacific Northwest. First I’d like to mention how different Triggrcon is from […]
Telescopic sights, commonly referred to as “scopes,” use a system of lenses to magnify the appearance of a target from a distance.

Why wouldn’t you anticipate recoil? Just change when. There are two different flinches when it comes to shooting […]
Bolt action guns don’t get the attention they deserve. They produce good accuracy at an affordable price and are generally rugged and reliable. While less aggressive looking than an AR, they are proven technology which can fire full power cartridges that out perform the .223 Chris Baker at Lucky Gunner has a been thinking about […]
Managing sight picture is one firearms fundamental that contributes to shooting accurately. Grip, stance, trigger pull, and even the way you breathe all play important parts in repeatable, accurate shooting. However, the point of this post is to focus on sight picture and a few of the prevailing theories on how to use it effectively to […]
More and more often, private landowners are eschewing driving to public shooting ranges when they could build a safe and private place homemade range. After doing a considerable amount of research on various construction methods, one of the safest and most economical seems to be to use old railroad ties backed by an earthen berm. […]
Michael Mann knows guns, and he likes to make sure he gets their use, how they function, and what you can do with one. Heat is legendary in the gun community and movies like Miami Vice and of course Collateral can’t be forgotten. Collateral is what we looking at today. The famous “Yo homie is […]
