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

C-more Competition M26 M.A.S.S.
Yet another cool shotgun here at SHOT Show. It’s the C-more Competition M26 M.A.S.S. magazine-fed 12-gauge. It is a slide-action as opposed to a semi-auto, but it doesn’t use a conventional forearm-style pump. Instead it has a charging handle on … Continue reading

Saiga 12 Magwell
In my original post about the Saiga 12, I detailed how hard it was to reload on a closed bolt. The AwKward AK “rock and lock” reload is magnified by the fact that the fat 12 gauge shells stick out … Continue reading
