Good Gear: BK Grips Revolver Grip Adapters
One of the great things about revolvers is the ability to swap out grips to get the fit that’s just right for you. As long as you’re using a common platform you can choose from rubber, wood, plastic, G10 or micarta and a myriad of shapes, thicknesses and options with or without finger grooves. […]
Shooting My Favorite Scope + Rifle Combo [Video]
Optics don’t generally make for the most exciting video subject material, but the SIG BDX line is so dang useful and packs so many features in at a great price point that it simply had to be featured on the Shooting News Weekly Youtube channel. For the last couple years the SIERRA6BDX 2-12x has been […]
Personal Defense: What’s More Important, Body Armor or a Helmet?
Like most red-blooded American boys from Generation X, I was first introduced to the concept of personal body armor by my father.

Legal Again: Harrington & Richardson Releases the Retro HAR-15 Pistol Brace
Harrington & Richardson has been taking the retro AR world by storm the past couple of years.

Good Gear: B5 Systems AR Furniture

Gear Review: Aimpoint ACRO P-2 Red Dot Sight
Thanks to Safariland, War Hogg Tactical, and the blessing of living on the Florida Gulf Coast, I attended a free pistol red dot course given by Rick Hogg of War Hogg Tactical.

Good Gear: Streamlight’s SpeedLocker Portable Storage Container
We were as surprised as everyone else was when we learned last year that Streamlight, makers of some of the best flashlights, weapon lights and lasers had gotten into the weapon storage business. They’d announced their new SpeedLocker portable storage container. You’ve seen similar products before. Small lockable containers meant for those times when you’re […]
Good Gear: Hold Up Displays Folding Gun Rack
Jeremy and I spend a lot of time at the range shooting guns and testing gear for reviews. It’s a difficult, time-consuming job, but it must be done and we’re the ones who do it. That means we’re at Copperhead Creek Shooting Club a lot. It’s in beautiful Marble Falls, northwest of Austin, and it […]
Gear Review: SilencerCo SwitchBack 22 Rimfire Suppressor [VIDEO]
Lots of people are in the market for a suppressor these days. Believe it or not, we have the ATF to thank for that. As of today, the average wait time for eForm 4 approval is down to…two days. Yes, you read that correctly. If you walk into your local gun store and process an […]
