TESTED: G2 Research Trident Ripout .308
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?

VIDEO: Hop Up Your Glock; L2D Combat Magwell
Add-on magwells have been something I’ve avoided for years. Â 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.
