Shield CQS—A Good Red Dot Sight for SBRs

Shield CQS—A Good Red Dot Sight for SBRs

{ 7 comments }

With the ever-growing popularity of the modern sporting rifle platform (I call it a platform because there seem to be an infinite number of configurations), there is a growing trend toward carbines and short barreled rifles (SBR’s). Since these are used for fast, dynamic, short-range work, non-magnified electronic dot sights and backup iron sights work well on these rifles. Smaller and lighter has become the trend, which is good as long as the sights are functional and reliable.

Supreme Court Rules on "Straw Man" Gun Sales Case

Supreme Court Rules on “Straw Man” Gun Sales Case

{ 75 comments }

The U.S. Supreme Court today ruled that the government can enforce the Straw Sale rule even when the person it is being bought for is lawfully allowed to own a gun. Several different Federal Circuit courts had previously ruled on both sides of this issue, prompting the Supreme Court to hear the case. The Supreme Court, is a five-to-four decision, adopted a narrow interpretation of the law, saying the “actual transferee/buyer” must acknowledge that he intends to resell the gun when he buys it, even if the eventual owner is legally entitled to own a gun.

Shoot First! - Then Call 911  (911 Call VIDEO)

Shoot First! – Then Call 911 (911 Call VIDEO)

{ 5 comments }

There is a famous saying: “The police are only minutes away when seconds count.” That happened recently to a family in the Tampa Florida area when they were the victims of a home invasion. As you can hear on the video below of the actual 911 call, the caller first gets voicemail when he calls 911, with a recording to call 911. Then the people who just robbed them return to the house, when he finally shoots them, ending the threat.

Browning Citori 725 Feather—Gun Review

Browning Citori 725 Feather—Gun Review

{ 13 comments }

The primary design idea behind the Browning Citori 725 Feather is, you guessed it, light weight. My evaluation sample was a 12-gauge Feather model with 28-inch barrels. It weighs in at 6 pounds, 9 ounces. If you compare to the equivalent Field (non-Feather) model, the 28-inch barrel model weighs just about a full pound more at 7 pounds, 8 ounces. That adds up over a day in the field. Imagine taping a can of lima beans to the Citori 725 Feather, and now you’re carrying a standard weight over-and-under.

Prepping 101: Solar Generator Basics – Harbor Freight Kit Review

{ 40 comments }

It boggles my mind when someone proudly exclaims that they are free from worry should a disaster strike, because “I’ve got a generator!” That’s great for a hurricane or a blizzard, but what are you going to do if there is a real collapse and your fuel runs out? Did you, in fact, just waste [...]

The XStat™ from RevMedx — Tiny Sponges that Can Save Lives

The XStat™ from RevMedx — Tiny Sponges that Can Save Lives

{ 0 comments }

Inspiration for important innovations can come from many things. In this case, it was expandable kitchen sponges sold at William Sonoma. RevMedx has taken that idea and turned it into the XStat, a device that can save the lives of soldiers on the battlefield who have gun and shrapnel wounds. The device injects small compressed sponges into the wound, using a device like a syringe. The tiny sponges expand rapidly as they soak up blood, filling the wound cavity and instantly creating a barrier against further blood loss. The sponges are treated with an anti-hemorrhagic substance that contributes to the effectiveness of the device.

Shocking Blueprint for the Collapse & New World Order – UK Daily Telegraph 2009

{ 10 comments }

One of the most interesting aspects of writing editorial about the potential collapse of America is in seeing the comments come in from everyday liberty-loving Americans… who get really, really angry. We all have what is called a “normalcy bias,” where we just don’t want to accept that bad things could happen and that our [...]

Montana Rifle's MMR: Tactical Precision, Traditional Feel

Montana Rifle’s MMR: Tactical Precision, Traditional Feel

{ 3 comments }

Tactical is a term that seems to get attached to way too many products these days and truthfully it’s beginning to get a little tiresome. I find it refreshing then when a rifle like the MMR hits the market with all the right features one might find in a “tactical” rifle but with a slightly different approach. There isn’t an excessive amount of rail space, fancy camo finishes or a catchy name taken from ancient weaponry. The MMR stands for Montana Marksman Rifle, simple and to the point just like the rifle itself.

Prepping 101: The Sun Oven - Product Review

Prepping 101: The Sun Oven – Product Review

{ 11 comments }

This story is best told as a story. I didn’t believe at first that this oven would really work. Anyone can game Youtube videos to make a product look good, and I just assumed that the All American Sun Oven was just another gimmick being sold to preppers. First of all, I live in South Florida. If a sun oven is going to work anywhere, it is going to work here. But I had never heard that such a thing was possible. I could see a huge dish, focusing the sun’s rays on an egg or something. But to get enough consistent heat to cook a chicken, or even a loaf of bread? Not so much. Not a reality. Boy was I wrong. I don’t know how the All American Sun Oven works up in snow country, but there is no reason to think that a sunny day anywhere can’t cook food just like a regular oven. You do have to move the oven around some, but at $399 for a complete survival kit, nobody who has stored freeze dried foods and pantry staples should be without one. No fuel, no problem. The All American Sun Oven works.
