Breach Bang Clear

Springfield Armory Prodigy pistols have built on a legacy of .45ACP 1911 design to refine the double-stack 9mm. These guns are making precision performance affordable and may make you question what you get with the artificial scarcity that defines some of the more fashionable and exclusive brands competing for the distinction in the crowded 2011 market. Here’s my review. Get Prodigious I’m a…

Maybe you served with Jamsheed while deployed to Afghanistan. Maybe you’ve only heard profane, admiring references to “Jamsheed the RPG God” and his skill with the RPG-7. There’s a pretty good chance you’ve watched the video either way. So, how much of the Jamsheed mythos is real and how much legend? (And, honestly…does it matter?) Who is Jamsheed? Jamsheed’s the Afghan who famously stood up…

This is the GatMonkey Rifle Sling Co/ black flag rifle sling. If you’re a fan of MultiCam Black or anything murked out, you might want to take a look. GatMonky Quick Adjust Two Point Rifle Sling It’s a quick-adjust sling made of 1″ poly webbing, with a steel adjustment cam, steel adjusters and a pull-tab of 550 paracord. That should give you a pretty reliable and rugged way to tighten ‘er up or…

It’ll come as no surprise to those of you reading this that damn near every place we like to shop is running an Independence Day sale of some kind. Coming as soon as they are after Father’s Day, such 4th of July sales might be tougher to exploit than others…but needs must when devils drive. We have faith in you, though. Don’t let some misguided sense of fiscal responsibility stand between you…

The KelTec Sub2K series has proven to be one of the most dichotomous firearms in the industry. On the one hand, vast numbers of shooters deride them much the same way they do Hi-Points. On the other hand, many of those same shooters own (or want to own) a Sub 2000. It’s hard to blame them, either. Not only are they lightweight and literally foldable, but they also feed off the most common pistol…

The launch of the Gen 6 Glock series brought with it several overhauls to the factory frame. Many (if not all) of those were based on modifications people made to prior models using aftermarket accessories. Among those were an integrated beavertail, palm swells on the grip, an undercut trigger guard, and other changes. These improvements seem to have been generally welcomed by the Glocknoscenti,…

Man of War is an upcoming action film starring LaMonica Garret. Given LaMonica Garrett’s role as the lead door-kicker, you might think it’s of his Operation: Lioness. It’s not. This is a standalone shoot-em-up flick set in the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Our protagonist is a former NSW hitter (because of course he is) whose adopted daughter, Riley (an aid worker, played by Resmary…

The term “Highlander Burial” can refer to a Scottish funeral rite. In this case, however, the article refers to a combat maneuver from MechWarrior. MechWarrior is the video game version of the BattleMech game. The Highlander referenced here is a 90-ton, four-story-tall heavy assault mech. The phrase describes a jump-and-stomp move. The pilot uses the mech’s “jump jets” to launch itself into the…

Many companies live and die by the quarter, but it’s only a select few that stand the test of time. Italian gunmaker Beretta is one of those few (and by a pretty damn good margin). At 500 years old (yup, five centuries), Beretta is the world’s oldest gunmaker. But its first firearm to achieve true international acclaim is a relatively recent one (though that’s partly because Beretta was primarily…

The Henry H23 is a 450 Bushmaster Lever Action from the “Lever Action Supreme Rifle” (LASR). It’s a big-bore modern lever gun designed with big game hunting in mind. It’s a purposeful addition to the LASR lineups, intended for hunting in states with restrictions on straight-wall cartridges.

Measuring 10 inches in length and weighing 21.6 oz, it is designed for AR-platform versatility, balancing close-quarters speed at 1x with a 10x magnification ceiling and a BDC reticle for mid-range identification and engagement. Estimated…

ICYMI, the business cards you see below – jungle fighters and commie killers all – hailed from various Special Forces veterans of Vietnam, in particular the “Far Eastern Indochina Special Forces and Jungle Fighters Association, Ltd.” Whether that was a real organization or not, I dunno…but I sure as fuck hope it was. Most have the Special Forces insignia and the Green Beret, but the true…

Hear me out. The Vortex Razor HD Gen III (a FFP Vortex 1-10 LPVO) is an excellent do-it-all optic. Don’t believe me? Give me a chance to convince you. Sometimes you have a project in mind, you know what you want it to be, and what you want it to do. All that remains is finding the perfect components to make it a reality. The solution must follow the problem, and there is nothing more satisfying…

A year ago, Surefire gave us the XC3 pistol weapon light, sort of a smaller cousin to the X300 series. The light was more compact than its predecessors, both physically and in the handgun for which it was designed. The next (and obvious) iteration was released at SHOT Show 2026: it was, as you prob’ly already know if you’re canny enough to be reading this website, the Surefire XC3 Sub LED…

The Surefire Scout Light series has been outstanding since the git-go. You’d be hard-pressed to find any of our crew that don’t use one (or five) in some capacity of the other. SHOT Show 2026 saw the introduction of another model: the M640T Turbo Scout Light Pro WML. We went looking for someone from Surefire to walk us through all their new products, and lookee here how lucky we got. This is…

In a previous article, Why I Learned to Embrace the Marlin 336 and Forget the 94 Winchester, I chronicled the history of the iconic Marlin 336 lever action rifle from its inception and its decline before briefly touching on its revival by Ruger in 2023 before showcasing a vintage model. As a brief recap, the Marlin 336’s basic design originated with the Model 1893 before coming to its final form…
