Mexican cartels and their weapons
People are jokingly commenting on a past post asking what gun stores these came from. Well short answer. Most of the military grade stuff comes from South America and can be traced to US and Soviet shipments to a few countries back in the late 80’s. They were used to set up or dismantle governments […]
The NSR C4 Holster and Pocket Magazine Carrier – A Complete CCW system
I find that people who conceal carry every day for a long period of time go through a certain amount of phases. It almost always starts with carrying a full sized firearm in an uncomfortable way. Then comes the compact or pocket pistol phase. Maybe a wheel gun gets tossed in there for a time. […]
Sniper’s Choice | Bolt-action vs. Semi-auto precision rifles
Bolt-action vs. Semi-auto There is an ongoing debate as to whether someone should purchase a semi-automatic rifle or a bolt-action rifle for long-range precision shooting. There are a few key variances in both which make them very different, and probably contribute to the wide divergence in opinion. Typically, the bolt-action precision rifle is considered more accurate than a semi automatic. However, this depends […]
Xtreme Precision Extended Takedown Pin Set
If two is one and one is none, then the little things are big and the big things are essential. I’ve said it in more than a few of my articles: America’s next battle rifle will be less of a paradigm shift and more of a collection of all the incremental improvements made over decades […]

While I am in the 1911 tribe, I do understand the other tribe’s choice about weight, maintenance, and […]
Video | Weapons of Opportunity | Soft Skills
Weapon of opportunity. Sometimes this can be as simple as throwing your hat at someone to temporarily distract them allowing you to close the reactionary gap. In a recent training course I attended, our instructor, Kyle Defoor, mentioned something similar to this. A few of us were hanging out talking with Kyle after day 1 […]
Deus Ex Machina | Gunfighter Trigger Review
While the Glock aftermarket has always been legendary in scope and breadth, I don’t believe it has ever been larger than it is right now. While the sheer volume of options can be daunting to research, a few companies always separate from the pack. This happens within each price point and is because that company is […]
Bootleg Inc Upper Receiver | Review
Bootleg Inc. was formed in 2005, the sister company to Primary Weapons Systems (PWS). Since PWS is well-known for their high-quality piston AR parts, Bootleg was tasked with the job of producing the same high quality of parts but in the direct impingement market. Even if you aren’t familiar with the name, I can just […]
Reaper Outdoors | Controlled Chaos .300 Blackout
I’ve viewed .300 AAC Blackout as an excellent round since its inception. I’ve also acknowledged that it isn’t a magic “wonder round” that can do it all. It is another good tool to have in the tool box and excels at its intended function. As with any new offering, it has taken some time to […]
