Stemming from his childhood love of WWII history, Nic’s passion for firearms continues to grow as his maturity level recedes. He has competed in local USPSA, IDPA, and rifle competitions, and has an almost unnatural affection for Rosie, his Gen3 Glock 19.

Having a grip toward the front of your handguard, if used properly, can add a lot of stability to your rifle while standing. Just the same, firing from the prone position or from a table, a bipod will take away a significant portion of your natural sway. Not knowing [Read More…]

Despite what the keyboard warriors tell you, revolvers are not dead. Plenty of people still carry wheel guns for a variety of reasons, and for that, they need defensive ammunition. Just added to their list of options is an expansion of the Freedom Munitions X-Def line. [Read More…]
I remember at one of my first gun shows, I was enthralled by the, by today’s standards, extremely long vertical grip with the bipod in it. I think it also had a spot to mount a light. That one piece of gear probably weighed almost a pound. Coming from a time when [Read More…]
Cutting your slide for an optic can be expensive. Well, at least if you want it done right. It also limits you to only using optics that fit the footprint you chose. Plate systems work, but if you’re looking for a Glock, in my experience, the MOS guns are not as [Read More…]
Having a compact firearm no longer requires giving up your weapon’s capabilities. More and more people are finding that a rifle caliber carbine that folds makes a great defensive weapon when stored in a pack. For those who operate inside a vehicle for work, a [Read More…]

In an effort to keep your carry gun from snagging on your clothes, most modern micro-compacts are smooth. Corners rounded, edges smooth, these firearms are built for a specific purpose. However, in this process, some feel that these pistols are too smooth. Shooters [Read More…]
Absolute, 1.93, lower 1/3rd. How do you decide? Well, now you don’t have to! Strike Industries entered the optic game with their SIOPTO SCOUTER, so it makes sense that mounts would be next. If you ever had issues deciding on which height to run, the new Strike [Read More…]
With the current level of violence and uncertainty that seems to be neverending, more and more people are unlocking the First-Time Gunowner achievement. I see this happening personally, as friends who were previously only interested in concealed carry are asking me for [Read More…]

A 12-gauge shotgun is a formidable weapon. You’ll find the internet to be littered with comments about shotguns being the best home defense weapon. While these comments are usually filled with inaccuracies and spelling mistakes, what they tend to lack is [Read More…]
The Benelli M2 is a very fast semi-auto shotgun. Being known for speed, it makes sense to upgrade your M2 with any part that gives a speed advantage, especially if your life depends on quickly getting rounds on target. One of the main fumble points when running a gun [Read More…]
My concealed carry holster includes a space for a spare magazine. My battle belt has pouches for carrying two or three spare magazines. Having spares readily available allows me to continue defending myself or shredding paper, but what if you aren’t wearing all of [Read More…]
When talking about firearm safety, most people focus on preventing negligent discharges. When I ask for a safety rule, I usually hear “Treat every gun as if it’s loaded.” This is a great rule, but what if you do want to send a round? Then knowing your [Read More…]
The AR-15 is popular for so many reasons. One of the big ones is ergonomics. The AR pistol grip has become so popular, that even precision rifle manufacturers are making them standard on their guns. One particular firearm has had some mixed reviews about its grip, and [Read More…]
As with all other things, a high-quality knife usually comes with a high price tag. Your sub-$30 Big 5 sale knife will still cut, but not as sharply as the corners cut when it comes to durability, steel quality, and handle materials. Cold Steel has been a big name in [Read More…]
When I teach concealed carry courses, I always stress that everyday carry is not one piece of gear. The whole thing needs to work as a system, and one of the foundational pieces is a sturdy belt. Though two-belt systems have gained popularity, many of us are more [Read More…]
When it comes to vertical grips, most people that I know will buy a longer grip and cut it down. The Strike Stacked Angled Grip turns that process around, allowing you to build the length you want from a base unit. Now, the Stacked Grip that you love in black is [Read More…]
The past few years saw an insane number of first-time gun owners. If any of you are reading this, welcome to our community! One of the more popular handguns for n00bs was the Smith & Wesson Shield EZ. It was originally only available in .380 ACP, then 9x19mm. [Read More…]
If you shoot a suppressed gas gun, you’ve probably figured out that suppressors get a little toasty. I learned the hard way. To prevent burns and heat mirage, fabric wraps were the standard for a long time. Now, however, MODTAC has changed the landscape of [Read More…]
Some of you are very good at keeping track of your things. I am not. If an object isn’t in my hand, I have no idea where it is. If it is in my hand, I’ve still only got a 50/50 shot. The role of tracking technology in the commercial world has matured from [Read More…]
When I hear the name Speer, I think of duty ammunition, probably due to the type of shooting I do. However, those who take fewer shots in more rugged environments equate the name with one-shot stops on their prey. Equally known in the hunting and long-range world, [Read More…]
Bushnell glass seems to be ever-improving. If you stopped through their booth at SHOT Show this year, you know what I mean. It must be something in that Colorado water. This year, they’re releasing a product that, as someone who is venturing more into long-range [Read More…]
