Haley Strategic Partners Thorntail light mount
I recently picked up a Haley Strategic Partners Thorntail mount for Surefire Scout lights and have been quite pleased with it. The Thorntail is made for HSP by Impact Weapon Components and like everything I’ve handled from IWC I found it to be of high quality and well made. The Thorntail’s claim to fame […]

Vintage Toy Guns Of Our Youth
Some old ads from where we were younger and freer for some of the awesome toy guns. I have no idea how many plastic green toy M16A1s and plastic cap grenades I went through as a kid. Then I moved on to pellet and BB guns. My first real gun was a WW1 1911 […]
My Carry Ammo And Pistol ( What I Use And Why)
I find recently that more people are asking me what I use as my CCW setup and the kind of ammo I carry. I usually don’t speak about it much because so many people have their opinion and rarely care what others use anyway. But ,it has come up a lot lately . A few […]
Gear Sector GS-2P Slings
When looking for a quality sling for an AR15 type weapon, there are many different sling manufacturers out there. If you are like me and have several AR15’s and want to outfit all of them, this could cost you quite a bit of money. I personally want my slings to perform at a certain level […]

Duty/Defense Carry Ammunition Selection
We get a lot of questions about what is the best duty or defensive ammunition for your carry firearm. I am basically writing this article, because of the claims, of the G2 RIP round sweeping the net.

Problems seen at the range.
It seems like every CORE15 AR15 I have seen at the range has jammed at some point while I was watching owner use it. I don’t have the evidence to say damning things about the company, but I haven’t seen anything that would let me say good things about them. A sample size of a […]

Glock G42 Stripped / New Internals
The new G42 has several unique, redesigned, internal components, that are very different from all other Glock’s. Right off the bat, you can see it is a 2 pin design, like the old Gen2 Glock’s, with a Gen4 magazine release and stippling. I have completely stripped this G42 to give you an idea of what […]

D&H Flat Dark Earth USGI Magazines
While at the local Cabellas I spied a great deal on some FDE aluminum USGI magazines for around 9 bucks. Being a fan of cheap USGI mags and FDE, I thought this was too good a deal to pass on. I also wanted to test them out being I had not had any time […]
