It’s no surprise that a good portion of the gun industry thinks that the 40 S&W is a dead cartridge. While I would certainly say that it’s nowhere near as popular as it once was, I think it’s far from dead. In fact, several of my friends still trust 40 S&W to get the job done if […]
Taylor’s TC9 Single Action Revolver Review
Review: Taylors & Co. TC9 Single Action Revolver Taylors & Company, of Virginia, is a well-known importer/distributor of replica guns. In 2022, the company announced a brand new release that’s kind of a replica, but better. Meet the TC9 9mm revolver. On the outside, the TC9 is a nostalgia-inspiring copy of the iconic 1873 Colt […]
These Med Kits from Mountain Man Medical Could Save a Life
It appears more common today to hear of folks carrying a tourniquet as part of their EDC, but how many have made a true effort to understand when and where a tourniquet, pressure bandage, hemostatic gauze, and/or an occlusive dressing should be used? How many recognize when and where to use those tools in addition […]
Bone-Dri Rifle Case Review
While I was out at SHOT Show 2022 I was contacted by a newer rifle case manufacturer to see if I’d be willing to do a review on one of their rifle cases. I tend to lean toward the whole “you can’t have too many” of certain things, rifle cases included, so I said yes. […]

PTR-109 Review (308 Win Roller Delayed Blowback Rifle)
I have been a huge fan of HK roller delayed blowback rifles since I was a kid, having grown up in the 1980s they were featured in most of the action movies I loved as a teenager. The HK-94/MP-5 and the HK-91/G-3 rifles were standard equipment for most of the action movie heroes of the […]
PowerTac E9R-G4 Tactical EDC Flashlight Review
I’ve been getting more into flashlights lately. And with that simple fact, comes the testing that must be done to find the ideal tac light for my purposes. I need something that has a wide range of brightness settings, won’t break the bank, and is small enough to clip onto my front pocket for easy […]
A Deer Hunt with the Henry Long Ranger and Riton Optics
I have always been an admirer of lever guns. Having owned numerous old Winchester and Marlin lever rifles of days gone by I realized I had rarely hunted big game with one. Several years ago, I was fortunate to harvest a cow elk with a Winchester Model 71 in .348 Winchester. This year I decided […]
Why A Get Home Bag Makes Sense, And What I Put in Mine
I’ve been utilizing what I call a “get home bag” for quite some time now. This bag has changed over time to fit my needs and my growing concerns about the state of the outside world. What I mean, is that as I’ve deemed the world more dangerous, my get home bag has gotten more […]
