Safariland ELS review
Dad and I’ve been running Safariland ELS belt rigs for a couple months now. If you’re not familiar with ELS, it’s a very easy-on easy-off belt and accessory system. It’s grown very popular in 3-gun where a stage can be … Continue reading
Doing My Own Kydex
Since nobody makes magazine pouches for my Akdal, and it seems that nobody has kydex AR-10 or M1A mag pouches (which I thought might fit) in stock, I thought I’d try making my own. I ordered a few sheets of Kydex … Continue reading

Cowboy Action Guns: Part 1.
My gear for Cowboy Action is very similar in philosophy, if not in style, as my USPSA gear. Everything is optimized for speed, all while staying within a rule set designed to preserve the “feel” of the Old West. The … Continue reading

One Poor Garand
Apparently, “Some Kid” saved up some money to buy himself an M1 Garand. He then bought some gun-show reloads and headed off to the range. As is often the case with gun-show reloads, the results were somewhat predictable: The … Continue reading
My New Piston Black Gun
Picked up the new Evil Black Gun yesterday. I’m stoked to get out and shoot it. It’s Piston-Operated, has a Modular Free-Float rail, left-side non-reciprocating charging handle, a Magpul ACS stock, and…interchangeable chokes? No, that’s not a rifle, that’s a … Continue reading

SASS Winter Range
I recently competed in the SASS Winter Range National Championship in Phoenix, AZ. I’ve got to say, having shot USPSA for the past few years and SASS for the last few months, I was blown away by the atmosphere at … Continue reading

For the past few months, I’ve been shooting Tac Optics in MultiGun. If you’re not familiar with MultiGun rules, Tac Optics allows for only one optic on the rifle. Which is fine if you’re only shooting at 5-100 yards. Or … Continue reading
New Colt 3-Gun Rifle
Colt has introduced two new rifles designed specifically for 3-Gun competition. Let me just say, they look cool! The real difference between the two is the cost. The top rifle MSRP’s for $1900, the bottom is $1400. The top rifle … Continue reading

RRA LAR-47
Rock River has come out with an AR in 7.62x39mm. Most well-studied AR gunsmiths know that the AK round has a taper that doesn’t function well with the AR magazine design. So, some bright spark at RRA went : Thereifixedit. … Continue reading
Super-cool: Polymer 1911
From Rock River Arms. RRA used to make both nice 1911s and ARs, but had to drop the 1911s in 2008 when the AR explosion hit. Obviously, they are re-entering the market with a bang! The frame is polymer, which … Continue reading
