Gear Reviews

Prior to this project, I lacked any real experience in leatherworking. So I’m fairly confident when I say that this project is well within the skill set of almost anyone. So, if you’re looking for an inexpensive, weekend, firearm project, take a look at the holster kits from Tandy Leather.

What really prompted this week’s test was not even the $800 dollar original Sionyx Aurora. It was the introduction of a new EVEN CHEAPER ” Sport” model, at an MSRP of $399. At that price point, we pretty much had to grab one to find out for ourselves.

Many of us are working from home or remaining out of the public for a while. With time on your hands, you can binge-watch Netflix and overeat or you can study something useful and train. As a trainer, I have some suggestions for you based on what am I doing and some of my favorite training systems.

After using the Optika6 for a few months, I have grown fond of it. I’ve reviewed a handful of mediocre optics as well as incredible ones. I’d categorize the Optika6 4.5-27×50 under the incredible offerings. This optic is feature packed, extremely affordable for what you are getting, the optical quality is fantastic and you get a great warranty from a well-established company that will be here for years to come.

Carrying your handgun every day sounds like a great plan when you’re a new gun owner. But once you get going you realize it isn’t as easy as you expected to find the right holster and belt to make carry comfortable and effective.

SIG’s P365XL is a sub-compact that performs like a full-size pistol. Big enough to handle serious self-defense but small enough to carry concealed. The optics ready XL model features an enhanced frame, flat trigger and increased barrel length while retaining the concealability of the original P365.

There are a few upgrades that you can do to a factory rifle; one of these being a change of stock. MC3 TPIM stocks is a sister company of McMillan who has some great new offerings. I got ahold of their Legend Standard Deluxe Plus Carbon Fiber BDM option and put it through the ringer. Let me tell you, I like what I saw.

Why would you ever want to turn an otherwise functioning semiautomatic AR-15/AR-10 patterned rifle into a bolt action rifle? Believe it or not, there are a few compelling reasons. And if you need to do that, the Kali Key will help.

This hunt was going to be from the Land Cruiser since there was no cover to even consider a stalk and the springbok was covering hundreds of yards each time we tried to get near it. After what seemed like an hour, Dolf decided it was time for me to use some of that ammunition.
