It’s a little cliché, but I’ll say it anyway: shooting a fully automatic 9mm with a suppressor is about as much fun as you can have with your pants on. And when SilencerCo’s excellent Omega 36M is on the end of the barrel? As they say in certain parts of New York’s underbelly, forget about it.

Say what you want about Strike Industries, they’ve never been content to sit on the sidelines and pump out the same-ol’ gun parts.

Like the AR-15, Sig’s new handgun can be customized to fit a specific application or need, and the GGP aftermarket products could be a central part of any high-end custom build.

That healthy field of view, combined with the optic’s durability, crisp reticle, and ease of use, should make the AEMS a strong contender for your next rifle optic.

I’ve fired several hundred rounds of buckshot and slugs through my Benelli M4 equipped with the Aridus QD-C side saddle, and shells have never come loose or even shifted in place. The QD-C carrier is as premium as it looks. It’s war-ready, and while some might say it’s over-engineered, I say it’s a buy once cry once affair.

Proper scope installation isn’t difficult, but it helps to have a few special tools, and it often takes a little patience.
