Ah, the age-old question, “What should we get dad for Father’s Day?” At some point in history, one answer to this question was a necktie, any necktie. That was the wrong answer then and it is the wrong answer now.

If your father is a gun guy, you know how hard it can be to find gifts for him. You may well also be tired of getting ties and golf tees on Father’s Day, though at least that last one is handy for rimfires.

If you are in need of a hell and back sight, the Leupold Freedom RDS is going to be hard to beat.

The 6mm ARC is a brand new cartridge that Hornady designed to fit into a standard AR-15. Check out the video of us shooting it!

As a gun nut, one of the things I take for granted is the value of a good blade. Because I am also an avid hunter, I am reminded yearly of this very thing. I have spent years of my life testing various blades, and most of them have left me wanting more from a knife. My current opinion is that a person needs many for a variety of applications, outfits, and events. You know, for specific tasks and fashion demands.

It wasn’t until the 1920s that telescopic instruments used as aiming devices began to be widely accepted in the United States, but since then scopes have become the primary means of aiming rifles. In fact, they have become so popular and there are so many choices, it is difficult to decide which to buy.

Since 1911 pistols have been around for over 100 years, it’s not very often that an accessory or new part comes along that makes you say “Wow” or “It’s about time,” but that was exactly my response to the Nighthawk DTS.

After testing one of these new riflescopes, which are built with the rugged durability you would expect from a company that has spent decades developing optics for the U.S. armed forces, I believe Trijicon has hit the sweet spot in balancing quality and price.

There are many practical uses that I have for the PDW which span from personal protection to fun trigger-time at the range. Because of its 20 3/4″ collapsed length, you can fit the PDW in a nightstand next to your bed, the bottom side of your truck seat, or in a backpack for toting around in your daily activities.
