Tactical Applications Group: Spartan II Armor Carrier
The number of people who have actually worn body armor at work is small. Most are military and law enforcement. In fact, the vast majority of civilians who purchase a plate carrier will do so for airsoft or paintball use. There’s nothing wrong with this, but for those few civilians who have actually had to…

I picked this little laser up from my dealer for $50. It was used but new in the package. With an MSRP of $109.95 it dramatically…

Choosing a Good .380acp Load
Well here it is August already, before long the coats will be coming back out and it will be cold again here in Michigan. Which brings me to my topic today. Carry ammo choices, specifically for the 380acp. I have extensively fired 2 Ruger LCP’s, 3 Keltec 380’s and 2 Smith Bodyguards. This is what I like for…

Magpul MBUS
Who in the world would want a polymer sight? Their going to just break and they won’t zero, right? Wrong. The Magpul MBUS is the only rear sight I feel comfortable depending on.
