With the current political and social situation, consumers are buying firearms for survival/bug out/home defense scenarios. The AR-15 is a popular choice, but many are looking at alternatives due to the media's misconceptions about the AR and the planned 'buy back' of the ARs by politicians ("Hell yeah, we're going to ...
With the current political and social situation, consumers are looking at firearms for survival/bug out type scenarios. Many feel that the .22LR is an excellent choice for this purpose and the Ruger 10/22 is popular amongst the prepping crowd — in its stock form though, it has some short comings that can be remedied ...
Earlier this year, we built a pistol brace-equipped Ruger Charger Takedown with an 8″ barrel (documentation of this build will be posted). After shooting this setup, a customer asked if we could help him build something that would be similar from a functionality standpoint. While this setup is incredibly fun to shoot, ...
When I first ran across Swampfox Tactical Optics, I was looking for a small red dot sight. At the time, I had two possible uses in mind — I had a Ruger 10/22 Takedown Charger build in progress and had hoped that the entire package would fit inside of a .50 cal ammo can. The only thing keeping this from happening was ...
For 50+ years, Propper has been making outstanding military, law enforcement and tactical apparel and gear. Having owned several articles of Propper made clothing over the years, it’s one of the first companies I considered when I needed some new pants. I’m not a big fan of jeans. In the summer ...
Several times per week, I need a screwdriver. Usually it’s while I’m sitting around with my family – maybe a toy needs new batteries or I need to do something computer or electronics related. Sometimes I’m sitting at my desk working. Most of my tools live in the basement, but we tend to keep a random assortment of ...
After 100 prototypes, Slimfold started selling the “world’s thinnest wallet” in 2009 at San Francisco street fairs and boutique shops. 10+ years later and after two successful Kickstarter campaigns, Slimfold continues to be innovative and has developed some interesting products. I’ve been using a front ...
I never really considered myself a knife person – I wasn’t sure why people spent $100 or more on a pocket knife, typically sticking to knifes that were $50 or less for my personal use. Then I received a couple of knives from BÖKER PLUS for testing & evaluation. My perspective on this all changed instantaneously! ...
Like many in Redding CA, STOW lost nearly everything to the Carr Fire in 2018. With the help of a Kickstarter campaign and the local community, STOW is back on it’s feet and manufacturing quality wallets again. I’ve been using a front pocket/minimalist wallet since 2015 . That summer I backpacked ...
No batteries ... no parallax error ... shoot with both eyes open? Sign me up! After using a Bushnell TRS-25 for a few weeks, I really liked the idea of using an optic that allowed me to shoot with both eyes open. Being a cheap, entry-level optic, the TRS-25 does not have an auto-shutoff and has poor battery life. ...
While researching budget low powered variable optics (LVPOs) and red dots, Primary Arms is a name that seems to come up quite often — when we found this scope as a new, but blemished on eBay, we had to take advantage of the price and see what all of the hype is about. Being a blemished item, I had some concerns ...
No batteries ... no parallax error ... shoot with both eyes open and it glows in the dark? Sign me up! After using the SeeAll Opensight Mk1 for a couple of years and recently purchasing my first tritium sight, I was excited when the SeeAll Mk2 Tritium Night Sight went on sale a few months ago. I had been impressed ...
