Gun-tips – Lint Free Swabs
The next entrant into the gun cleaning swab market is Gun-tips from Swab-its. What is different about Gun-tips is that they are cleaning foam swabs which are lint-free, washable and re-useable (compared to say RamRodz). Gun-tips are made in a range of sizes for cleaning slides, rails, trigger assemblies, crowns and other hard to reach places. The plastic […]

KAC Skeletonized AR Upper Receiver
When it comes to sports cars I believe the less weight the better, I believe in the same principal with my guns. I was never a fan of hanging a bunch of stuff on my AR15 other than the essentials. I’m even sporting a pencil barrel on my main AR. Other than thinner barrels, minimalist stocks, […]

AR-15 TacOps-1 Charging Handle Review
Like any AR-15 part, there are lots of enhanced and improved charging handles out there. Looking through some of the marketing materials, you might think the USGI handle was a self destruct button, destined to malfunction and kill you as soon as the opportunity arose. I counted 27 different latch improvements and total replacements before […]

Not So Special: A Critical View Of The 6.8mm SPC
The 5.56mm M855 round has received considerable criticism for its terminal characteristics. Detractors point out that the round fails to fragment when the striking velocity is too low – such as when fired from a very short barrel or when the bullet has slowed down thanks to its relatively unimpressive ogive shape – or when the […]

My Favorite April Fools: Pistol-Training.com’s Merging of USPSA & IDPA
One of my favorite times of the year in the industry is seeing who and what “April Fools” campaigns will be waged. While there are some well-known ones this year (the Glock Engineer), my personal favorite was a blip from Pistol-Training.com. Their tongue-in-cheek article made me snort chocolate milk out of my nose. Its that […]

Gewehr 41(W) 2-Gun Action Match
The Gewehr 41 was Nazi Germany’s first attempt at a standard-issue selfloading infantry rifle. It utilized a front flap-locking bolt coupled with a Bang-type gas trap operating mechanism. This mechanism has a reputation for not working very well (more on that below), but how well would the rifle hold up in an actual shooting situation, […]
