Taking a look at the Busse Game Warden, a fine fixed-blade every day carry knife.

The process for buying a silencer can seem intimidating. And that’s before you ever get the various suppressor technologies. Griffin Armament has taken care of the later by building a bare bones can that cuts out the complexity, and the cost of 5.56 suppressors. Check out our review.

As a delivery driver, I am always in and out buildings and driving off into the sunset (or sunrise). I have to have a functional set of tools. And I’m not allowed to carry on-the-job. But when I’m off the clock, I have more options for EDC.

The Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife is a British blade with a deep history. The blade came with a manual that included bleed-out times for specific wound points. It is an iconic blade, and a design that is almost absent from our current line-up of fighting designs.

I have a question. Do you carry a knife? Is there a knife in your pocket? On your belt? In your truck? In your purse? In your hunting kit, in your bug-out-bag? On your chest rig? Knives are like guns, and some of us can’t get enough. But if you could only carry one, how big would it be? Which one would it be?

The Ka-Bar is one of the most iconic blades ever made. This mid-century fighting knife was born of necessity. How does it stand up to the standards of today’s war fighters? We will start with a look back at the history and how the knife was designed to kill.

I’ve had a concealed carry permit since the early ‘80s. Back then, my EDC was either the Smith & Wesson model 639 or the model 645 in a Galco shoulder rig that held the handgun horizontal on one side and two full extra mags on the other. But times have changed, and so have my preferred carry guns.

What’s wrong with the Remington 870? The list isn’t very long. Yet there are ways that the classic pump shotgun can be improved. And Nighthawk has worked out a laundry list of upgrades that cover every inch of the gun. What goes in looks pretty familiar to just about everyone, but the shotgun that comes out the other end is nothing short of perfect.

Originally designed to provide a safer, faster and more efficient means of breaching doors, the SIX12™ is a 6-round, 12-gauge, cylinder-fed shotgun that can be mounted to most AR platforms.
