Back in the Day Way back in the early 90’s a guy I was serving with showed me his new watch and it was unlike anything I had ever seen before. It said “Navy SEALs” on the face, but I jokingly told my buddy I’d have a look at it anyway. The cool part was […]

New Gear: Luminox Military Themed Pilot’s Watches
Watches Developed With the Help of SEALs I have to admit I’ve been a serious Luminox watch fan for a long time. I was fortunate enough to have obtained one of their first models around 1994, and I wore it for the remaining ten years of my military career. Our medical sergeant turned me on […]
Which style of sights do you want on your EDC handgun?
Pistol sights are an interesting topic, they come in all shapes, sizes, and preferentially vary between individual needs or desires. Of course, there are a large selection of brands to choose from as well but that’s not really what I care about, if they work as intended then who really cares? What’s your gun being […]
XS Sights Big tritium dots
XS Sights has been producing some excellent “irons” for a few years now, a set of which I was lucky enough to review a while back. Recently, I had my Glock 17 slide cut for a mini red-dot sight which meant my old sight set was no longer tall enough to see through the optic. Needing suppressor height […]
Trijicon HD Sights: Review
For years I have had a problem at the range. When I tried to focus on the front sight post it would quickly go blurry and so would the target. Not seeing the sights and the target tend to have a negative effect on accuracy. I spoke with my optometrist (who thankfully is also an […]

XS Sights | Big Dot Tritium Sights
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 […]
XS Sights Big Dot Xpress Tritium Set | Review
Sorely needing to upgrade the stock sights on my G17 frankengun, I got the warm and fuzzies during my install of XS Sights 24/7 Big Dot Xpress tritium sight set. Popping off the old plastic aiming nubs took just as long as getting these new beauties on. Early this week I finally had to chance […]
Review: AmeriGlo Hackathorn Glock Night Sights
(Article originally published on The Firearm Blog) The same day that I bought myself a brand new Glock 19, I drove straight to a gunshop that had a set of the Ameriglo Hackathorn sights in stock and had them installed right then. One of the points of contention I have with the factory Glock sights […]
