Glock 19 Tritium XS F8 Night Sights Review
XS F8 Night Sights Review As a longtime concealed carry practitioner and instructor for the past several years, I’ve seen lots of gadgets on guns. Most, in my estimation and in the eventual admission of the people who spent hard-earned money on them, are a waste of said money at the least. At worst, these […]
Exos Leather Gun Belt Review
Need a great gun belt? Check out Exos Exos Gear won me over some years back when I first tried out their backpack. It’s held up well and is still a staple in my hiking gear. So I was excited when, a year ago, Exos offered up their Amish-made bridle leather gun belt for testing. […]
Blackhawk Premium Leather IWB Holster Review
Blackhawk’s new interpretation of the leather holster The firearm accessory market, dominated in recent years by synthetic, tactical-looking, mostly black materials, is taking a turn back toward nostalgia and tradition. Wooden handguards for the AR platform are now available. And leather is back, surprisingly heralded by none other than the most tactical of companies, Blackhawk. […]
American Tactical Omni Hybrid Maxx AR-15 Review: It Sucks
American Tactical AR 15 Omni Hybrid Review The idea of a lighter-than-normal AR15 is appealing for those of us who wear our rifles for hours at a time. After years of intrigue regarding the polymer-lower AR made by American Tactical (formerly American Tactical Imports), I finally got my hands on a test model. Turns out, […]

Blackhawk Omnivore Holster Review: It Eats (Almost) Everything
There are lots of great full-size pistols on the market without a holster that fits. The relatively new Sarsilmaz SAR 9, for example, is a great firearm with no custom holster of its own. It took years for something other than the factory-supplied Serpa knockoff to be available for my own Canik TP9 SA. What’s a body […]
Fab Defense KPOS G2: Glock Carbine Conversion Kit Review
We live in the golden age of pistol caliber carbines. I’m a fan of these guns due to their easy handling, cheap ammo, and how much fun they can be. In the last few years, the PCC has exploded with offerings from SIG, CZ, Kel Tec, Ruger, and a dozen smaller companies. One name that’s […]
TruGlo HipShot: Shooting Bipod? Monopod? What Is It?
Texas-based TruGlo, normally a gun sight and optics maker, has stepped outside the box with the HipShot, a new assistive device for long gun and crossbow shooters. The HipShot is a portable, adjustable monopod. I was first introduced to this gadget at a gun writers’ conference, where the TruGlo rep handed a HipShot my way […]
Properly Dressing For The Range | Propper Clothing Review
As a bona fide range rat, teaching classes and doing gun and gear reviews on a weekly basis—I’ve long been frustrated with the lack of choices and features in so-called tactical wear. That changed in summer 2017 when the Propper company, of St. Louis, provided samples of their summer weight shirt and pants. In these […]
