May 4, 2020 By Joshua Gillem

MantisX Review Dry firing is one of the most essential aspects about getting better with your chosen firearm, whether a long gun or a pistol. Dry firing your gun is exactly what it sounds like: Firing your gun, empty. No ammo is necessary, and in fact, it is unsafe to dry fire with live ammo […]

muzzle brake vs compensator

I think we’ve all done it at one time or another. Done what? Said one thing while meaning something entirely different.
