Seeing large nuts hanging from the back of lifted trucks meant it was just a matter of time until someone actually injection molded some realistic testicles for the same lift trucks to up their game. In a sense, this was a natural evolution. However, in the firearms [Read More…]
Raise your hand if you’ve bought a gun based solely on the advertising and photography in a firearms magazine. Yeah, me too. Have you ever stopped to think about what goes in to a successful (and honest) advertising campaign? Recently I had the chance to speak [Read More…]

A number of firearms have played iconic roles in movies, film, and tv shows over the years. Clint Eastwood’s .44 Magnum in Dirty Harry or the plethora of P90’s in Stargate (yes, I am totally a nerd). From there, one can point to plenty of other examples. [Read More…]
