Professional Gear Reviews
There are a lot of folks out there who want to carry first aid equipment but are afraid because they don’t have formal training. Carry the gear! Chances are there will be someone who knows what to do if you don’t. Learn what you can from friends and the internet. Go take a class. Stopping […]
SIRT training pistols are an awesome and safe way to train without your firearm. When you pull the trigger a laser shoots and lets you know where you are hitting and where you are missing. It’s an excellent dry fire and a painless force on force tool. It can be used for a wide variety […]
G2 Research is known for finding new ways to make ammo wicked. Most known for their R.I.P. line, they also produce loads for rifles. Defensive and specialty handgun loads easily number in the hundreds. But what about rifles? Aside from bonded bullets, and meat-destroying fracturing loads hunters aren’t left with many options. G2 Research has […]
AR-10s seem to be on the rise. My theory is that everyone already has an AR-15 (or three) and are looking for something a little different. .308 ammunition is plentiful, and if you shop smartly can be found for under $0.50 per round. The extra whallop, increased hunting potential, and tribute to Eugene Stoner’s original […]

Of course there are the classic and boring over-the-counter options, but what about something that is actually custom? The folks at GunGrips.net gave us a chance to check out their options.

Their Midnight Dragon not only looks cool, but has given us the best ten-shot grouping we’ve ever accomplished when mixed with Nosler ammunition. Aside from accuracy and build quality, part of what sets DoubleStar rifles apart is aesthetics. Looks may not be the officially important, but I […]
Add-on magwells have been something I’ve avoided for years. I simply didn’t see the expense and reduction in conceal-ability to be better than simply training more to not need a funnel on the bottom of my gun. That changed with the release of L2D Combat’s Lo-Pro Magwell. Unlike most other magwells for Glock, the Lo-Pro […]
“Elite Performance Ammunition” is a presumptuous name. How does it perform? Last fall Sig Sauer announced the release of their 168gr .308 ammunition. This addition to the Elite Performance Ammunition line was welcomed as Sig’s ammo tends to be competitively priced and perform well. With a couple boxes for testing we recently had the chance […]
by Philip Massaro We are all familiar with U.S. Marine Col. John D. “Jeff” Cooper, his passion for defensive firearms training, and his love for the M1911 in .45ACP. He was the founder of the American Pistol Institute—you may know it by its modern name: Gunsite Academy. At API Col. Cooper taught the skills necessary […]
