Gear Reviews

My affinity for scary black rifles began eons ago, back in 2003, as an honorary member of the Tarleton State High Power Rifle Team. From there, my interests morphed into local 3-gun competitions where I took my DCM rifle and changed out parts to make the gun more viable for match shooting—something of a Franken-gun, really, but it ran well, and it was a tack driver.

Short, fast, and dirty two-minute video review of the Sig Sauer P365 and P365XL 15 round magazine.

The Mantis X training system uses a rail mounted sensor to collect data on movements before and after trigger pulls.

As 3 gun shooting becomes more and more popular, people are demanding more out of their guns. However, without the proper optic the shooter can only ask so much. The Atibal X is a 1-10 power optic that can do it all for shooters that appreciate a run-and-gun style while demanding performance both up close and personal as well as out to 5-600 yards or more, making this optic perfect for recreational shooters and law enforcement alike.

When you get a new precision rifle it’s kind of like having a kid, you need to have stuff to go along with it to protect it, carry it, and make it more capable. TAB Gear has been making high quality shooting accessories since 2005 beginning with a product that better protected a rifle from the elements.

Why, exactly, would I choose a 10mm for a Limited Gun? That class has long been dominated by 40 S&W, and usually in a 2011 platform. So why a 10mm, and why the XDM? Well, the XDM part is the easier answer.

I got started in precision rifle shooting when it was common logic that if you paid less than $50 for scope rings you shouldn’t expect to get much out of them. Thankfully, modern machining processes have improved to the point where that’s becoming less and less the case.

Zero Compromise Optic is a relatively new company that is shooting (pun intended) for the top spot among their competition, and they have just the product to do it: the ZC527. This rifle scope is packed with features, including locking windage and elevation turrets, rotation indicators, a highly efficient and clutter free, first focal plane reticle, an illumination system with intelligent on/off programming, incredible glass quality and it is all assembled with the highest regard for low tolerance and precision.

The little 1-8x is a scope that really can get the job done.
