Vortex Viper 2-7 review
Vortex Optics has been generating a lot of interest lately and when the need for a 2-7 came up I decided to see if the little Viper 2-7 lived up to the hype. We ordered 2 of them, one with a standard plex style reticle and the C3 which is a circle type reticle over…

Glock G17 RTF2 9mm review
I was recently looking to trade an older sub-compact pistol I had used for concealed carry and training for a full-size polymer-framed pistol, and was pleasantly surprised by the Glock G17 RTF2 in the process. In the interests of full disclosure, I have not been a huge fan of Glock pistols in the past. While…

Bison Armory 6.8 SPCII review
I bought a Bison Armory 6.8 SPC with 18″ barrell last year just in time for deer season. I have shot SSA factory loads and handloads, never had a single issue with it. With most loads I can group right at an inch, some loads down to .5 at 100 yards. I killed a few…

S&W M&P 40 review
I bought this gun to have something to shoot in USPSA’s Production division. My competition background is not very extensive. I have shot 6-7 matches at the club level in Single Stack division, eventually earning a “C” classification. I was drawn to the gun because of the longer sight radius compared to the regular M&P,…

Burris TAC 30 scope review
Reviewed by shooter521 TAC30 on top, CRS on bottom. The TAC30 is a couple inches shorter and about 3 oz. lighter than the CRS. Eye relief is also shorter, making an extended mount (like the LaRue SPR-E or ADM Recon-X) unnecessary. Side view of both scopes. The TAC30’s illumination control is the copper-colored pushbutton on the…

Sig Sauer P239 Review
I purchased this handgun second hand as a conceal carry weapon. I had tried a number of other major brands and calibers and felt the Sig single stack grip in a 9mm was the best of the bunch. I recently had a .40 cal 239 come through with the Hogue rubber grips, which add some…

Glock 19 Gen 4 review
I have always liked Glocks for their reliability but they just never felt right to me. I find myself looking down the top of the slide when bring the gun up and out onto the target. Of course, this is probably due to me shooting 1911s for a long time and the grip angle is…

Rock River Arms RRA Entry Tactical 5.56 w/ EOTECH 552
This evening I will go over the RRA Entry Tactical m4 carbine in 5.56 cal. I bought this rifle in Oct of 2004. I have used the hell out of it. I don’t even know how many rounds but roughly 4 cases downrange without a single malfunction while I fired it.

Uberti 1873 Review
After long searching for a nice used Uberti 1873 rifle in the 38/357 caliber with no luck, I broke down and purchased one new. I selected a 19inch deluxe carbine version with round barrel and carbine stock and case hardened steel receiver (deluxe is the case hardened receiver) from Taylor & Co. I wanted something…

Review of Colt AR15
I’ve owned quite a few AR15’s over the past 10 years or so. Some, like this one, I’ve built with kits or with extra accumulated parts plus parts purchased for a particular project. Other’s were purchased whole, but most have been modified to some degree while I had them. I’m sure many…

Nikon Monarch 8.5-56 Binocular Review
I had my first “WOW” experience with good binos a few years ago with a buddies Swarovkskis… I wanted some badly. Up until then I really didn’t use Binos, hunting in Texas on private land we didn’t do a lot of “glassing” Fast forward a few years and I was on a hunt with numerous…

Versa Carry review – Perhaps the best IWB holster out there.
I recently decided to get my CCW permit. I was certain of a few things; I was getting a Sig P238 & getting a permit. The rest was going to work itself out as things progressed. One of the things that remained undecided was which holster to get. There were far too many to choose…

Crossbreed Supertuck Review
I searched long and hard for an Inside-the-Waistband concealed carry holster that would be comfortable enough for everyday carry. I finally found it the Crossbreed Supertuck holster. The Crossbreed Supertuck runs about $70. For those who balk at spending money on holsters, consider this. We spend a lot of money on our guns but pennies…

Browning Citori Review
Browning Citori – I have fired probably 25,000+ rounds through this fine 20 gauge shotgun with NO repairs or malfunctions. Not a single repair. The rounds were racked up on dove hunting trips to Cordoba, Argentina where it is not uncommon to shoot 1,000 – 3,000 rounds per day (or more if you are tough enough). Dependable –…
