Tactical Gun Review

  • Elzetta ZSM Flashlight Mount

    Recently, Elzetta Design sent me their flashlight mount for tactical shotguns. Installation was ridiculously easy. The mount is designed for 12 gauge barrels, but spacers are included if you want to mount the light on a 20 gauge weapon. The mount is simple, robust and made of glass-filled polymer. It attaches easily to any tube-fed shotgun and the required hex…

    Staff Review: Get a Grip!

    It is impossible to catalog all the different modifications and improvements that are available for the AR-15. Impossible, because a multitude of different companies are continually coming out with new accessories. This leads to a plethora of choices for the consumer. But what if you don’t feel like buying another accessory, or you don’t have…

    Black Dog Machine 22 Drum Magazines

    Good Morning, I got a couple new toys to play with yesterday. If you read a recent post of mine about the Smith MP-22 and full auto fun with the Slidefire stock then you can understand why you might want a couple of these. Those 25 round factory mags are empty in a blink of an…

    TangoDown BG-17 Battlegirp

    I’ve never been a fan of the standard A2 grip on the AR-15. I find it’s too thin and encourages placement of the second joint of the index finger onto the trigger, which can lead to poor shooting habits. For this reason, I’ve been running a Magpul MIAD grip for a while.

    Rifle Stock Camoflauge Painting DYI: A How-To Guide By:  Chad L. If you are like me, you probably don’t like lying prone and getting a cheek weld on a black stock when it’s been sitting in the Texas summer sun. If you arent, you have not lied down prone and put your cheek on a black stock that’s…

  • New Frontier Armory – LW15: Lightweight Polymer Lowers

    One of the key benefits of polymers is that they retain their shape and size better in extreme cold and yes, heat (unless you are the human torch, why do you care that your Glock would melt if cooked at 450 degrees?), and they also spring back to their original shape after bending or twisting…

  • Midwest Industries Gen 2 SS Handguard

    Midwest Industries continues to excel in the lightweight free-float handguard department. Their Gen. 2 SS 12″ rail comes in at almost the same exact weight as standard AR-15/M4 plastic handguards, with all the benefits of a free-float forearm.

  • Springfield XDS Part 2:

    Springfield XDS Part 2:

    Hello, welcome to Pt. 2 of the Springfield XDS 45acp review. This will be short and sweet. Pretty much this pistol is the greatest invention since the stuffed crust frozen pizza. I thought technology had reached it’s pinnacle with the delicious cheesy crust frozen pizza and we may as well abolish the patent office. Nothing else was needed…

    Full Auto Style Fun: A S&W 22 with a Slidefire

    Good Evening, Today I started on a new project. If you caught my Slidefire Stock article then you’ve seen that thing could really burn up some ammo. It’s fun but not worth the expense to me to burn up 300-400 rds of 5.56 in a day just for grins. So I decided to work up a cheaper…

    Staff Gun Review: Dad’s custom Sako 22-250

    My dad’s 22-250 he built in 1966 Sako short action mated to a Pre 64 Winchester stainless target barrel originally chambered in 220 Swift.  A guy ordered it, changed his mind and my dad bought it off of him for 15 bucks! Cut it down to 22″ and rechambered in 22-250.
