As I prepare to become two years older since the day I decided to invest in an MP5SD from TPM Outfitters (and I still don’t have it in hand), I find myself staring longingly at pictures of random MP5s and other H&K clones. Don’t feel bad for me (I knew [Read More…]
No matter what the length of barrel, there is a strong subset of AR owners who prefer a full length rail that carries all the way out to the muzzle. For the most part, I am in this camp as well – I like clean lines and plenty of room for hand placement. But [Read More…]

Though I’ve been involved with shooting sports for a long time, Chronographs never really interested me before. When people were setting them up on crowded range days, it could be a big time-killer for everybody else while the user tried to get the shades right, [Read More…]
