B&T typically builds firearms to meet the requests and requirements of law enforcement and military units. The new SPC 9mm was born from one of those requests, though they didn’t tell us specifically who made the order.

SIG Sauer has been aggressively designing, engineering, and winning military contracts since Ron Cohen took over as CEO. When the military told SIG that the suppressors being used by warfighters were venting toxic, carcinogenic fumes back into shooter’s faces through ejection ports and around charging handles, SIG decided to design a low back pressure suppressor line to reduce the amount of toxic gas going back towards the shooter’s nose and mouth. 

Unless you like setting money on fire, you should use the most efficient sight-in method—and you can’t get any more efficient than the two-shot zero.

There’s likely never going to be a better time than the present to buy a suppressor. The ATF has finally moved the process for buying a suppressor into this century with online eForms that now support electronic Form 4’s. This will substantially cut the time required to purchase and possess a suppressor or silencer. 

I had an opportunity to use the binoculars for a short time on a prairie dog shoot in Wyoming and came away impressed because the Fusion X binoculars pack a lot of functionality into an affordable package. The binoculars are backed by Bushnell’s transferable lifetime warranty, which translates into a defined life of 20 years for the binoculars and five years for the electronics.

For many of you reading this and just jumping into the world of thermal optics, do not fret, it is not as complicated as some may suggest. While Thermal scopes are not cheap, they are an absolute game-changer in the world of night hunting. 5 years ago, I would have never believed how powerful of a tool thermal would become in my hunting game.

Stabilized binoculars are pretty rare on the civilian market, but they have a huge following in military circles. The stabilized part comes from an internal gyroscopic stabilizer, a mechanical device that makes them self steading. It is a weird concept, for sure. But in practice, it is basically magic. It really does work and is a game-changer for binocular work.

 For the past five weeks, I have been shooting and evaluating the most expensive and innovative PCC on the market, the new JP5 from JP Enterprises. 

Around three years ago EOTech started offering scopes in addition to their world-renowned holographic sights. Having taken a huge share of the red dot market, they took their shot at becoming a new big player in the magnified optic market by releasing their Vudu lineup of scopes.
