What is new is old. That might not be exactly fair to say about the Vickers Sling due to its designer, Larry Vickers. When I hit the tactical shooting scene in 2009 it was all three points and one points. Two point slings were for boot camp and the parade deck. They were old school. […]
The shotgun is a very common household firearm, and has been for centuries. The gun everyone thinks about, probably even before they think of a pistol or an AR-style rifle, is a shotgun. The shotgun is the only gun today that you can do almost anything with. You have loads for hunting anything from tiny […]
by Tom McHale .380 ACP is a pain in the butt. It’s convenient, and you can make obscenely small and handy guns that can handle the caliber, but it’s a borderline cartridge in terms of performance. I’m guessing it gives ammo manufacturers fits. Why? It’s a light bullet. Generally, 380 ACP rounds are about 90 […]
VZ Grips who has long been an industry leader in manufacturing Micarta and G10, and Carbon Fiber pistol grips for some of the worlds most popular pistols recently announced they are bringing their technology and skills to the AR-15 market.

by Tom McHale I’ve been shooting the snot out of Sig Sauer’s (relatively) new FMJ ammo the past couple of months and even taking careful notes. As the FMJ line is intended for practice and competition, and not self-defense, I wanted to test a couple of calibers in a variety of guns before reporting back […]
Halloween has always been a day that is surrounded by an air of death and fright, but we as a society know that these grisly images and macabre masks are for fun. In reality, we still wish to avoid the mortal dangers of the world regardless of how in-depth we go with our festivities. The […]
The Winchester model 1873 has been called “The Gun that Won the West.” It is the star of cowboy movies and a favorite for Cowboy Action shooting. Chambered in the popular handgun calibers of the day, it’s been produced in carbine, rifle and musket models. Cowboy Action Shooters love the reliable Model 1873 because it […]
