In our first installment of History Handed down we left the 1943 M1 Carbine soaking in a lovely bath of Slip 2000’s Gun Cleaner 725. It was about 70 years over due for that cleaning based upon the amount of dirt and grime clinging to the metal surfaces of the rifle. Before we dig into […]
Why I don’t Like Pocket Pistols The concealed carry craze we’ve been experiencing the last ten years has brought about one of the best markets for carry guns. Gun designers took heed of this massive influx of new shooters, needing to carry a gun that is friendly to concealment. Compact means a lot of things […]
Dakota Tactical is a maker of roller lock style rifles that included copies of the Heckler & Koch MP5, HK91, HK94, and others. They are the premier roller lock manufacture and it even shows in their company motto “Roller Locks made Right”. So when I decided I needed to upgrade my Dakota Tactical D54 SBR […]
You should love your first handgun; I know I did. Both my first handgun shooting experience and my first handgun purchase were pure joy. The first handgun that I ever shot was my father’s Smith & Wesson model 27 in .357 magnum. We were out at my grandpa’s farm and my dad was wearing that Smith […]

After months of theory and preparation, you are finally out with your rifle, ready to take your first long range shot. The first thing you need to do, is to compensate for bullet drop, and to do that you need to know the distance from your target. If you are in the comfort of a […]
Beautiful, rigid, strong, customizable, easy to install and a well thought out design are just some of the adjectives that come to mind when I think of the Geissele SMR (Super Modular Rail) Mk3 that I installed on my newest AR-15 build. Several months ago, when I was deciding what my newest man-Barbie would be […]
They don’t make firearms designers like they used to. Those who dominate the industry today aren’t like the pioneers of centuries past—those who would take risks, dare to be bold and groundbreaking in their ideas, and obviously drink too much before taking their blueprints to the drawing board. As a result, we haven’t seen insanity […]
