Assembling an AR is fun, but if it’s starting to lack the challenge it used to you should consider building a gun from the ground up. Building a gun goes a bit beyond just assembling your standard AR. Starting with a blank block of aluminum is a bit intimidating, so why not start with something […]
Remington Model 870 Tac 14 Review: Is It Just A “Short Shotgun?”
This is an update to an old Remington Tac 14 review originally published in 2018. The ‘other firearm’ category on a 4473 has likely never been checked to the degree it was in 2017 with the Mossberg Shockwave and Remington Tac 14 making massive waves in the industry. The reason why, is because anytime anything […]
Springfield Armory Hellcat Review
Springfield Armory Hellcat Review I’ve had my Springfield Armory Hellcat for a little over a month now and in my excited fury, I’ve put an absolute ton of ammo through it during that time–maybe more than any other gun I own when it comes to ammo fired in a single month. The Hellcat and I […]
Cool Historical Gun Accessories: The KAC Masterkey
Back in the 80s and 90s, it seemed like anything was possible. The G11 space gun was in full swing, the TEC 9 reportedly advertised as being resistant to fingerprints, and Knight’s Armament was making some cool stuff. The coolest of the cool was the KAC Masterkey. What’s a Masterkey? The KAC Masterkey is a […]
12 Gauge Federal Flightcontrol Review
Shotguns … I do love them and I’m always on the lookout to find new ammo. The versatility of shotgun ammo is one of the best things about this platform.

The Army SMG Competition is Dead.
I’m a huge fan of pistol caliber carbines and was very excited for the Army SMG competition. We’ve been following the program carefully and watching it develop over time. Things had started to heat up a bit, and the Army had chosen over a dozen competitors. The Army had models from SIG, HK, CZ, PTR, […]
The KPOS Scout and G2- Whats the Difference?
Some time ago I reviewed the KPOS G2 for Down Range Daily. To me, it was a fun, well made and impressive way to turn a Glock into a modern tactical carbine. I’ve handled some carbine conversion kits and found the KPOS G2 to be my favorite overall. In 2018, FAB Defense decided to tweak […]
