Vortex Takes the Night: AMG UH-1 Gen II Holographic Sight Reviewed

Vortex Takes the Night: AMG UH-1 Gen II Holographic Sight Reviewed

This optic is different than the Gen I in a few ways, including the addition of four night vision compatible brightnesses and the elimination of the micro USB charging port. It has robust aluminum construction, QD lever-lock system, and a waterproof rating of IPX8, meaning that it can be submerged in water deeper than 3 feet. Everything about the AMG UH-1 Gen II screams durability, repeatability, and dependability.

1791 Gunleather Changes the Game: New Ultra Custom Leather Holster With Memory-Lok Technology

I love the Ultra Custom (spoiler) because of its use of leather as the main component. Personally, I like carrying a gun in a leather holster (especially IWB) because the material is much softer to the touch than other options. However, there are negatives to an all-leather design. The Ultra Custom is everything that a leather holster is, without these negatives. Gun retention is on par with a Kydex holster if it is fit right!
