Gear Reviews

So, let’s discuss the topic of seating and crimping in the reloading process. Stated simply, the seating step simply means jamming a new bullet into a cleaned, resized, primed, and powder-charged cartridge case. Crimping “generally” refers to the act of bringing the neck of the cartridge case back to proper dimension after that bullet is stuffed in. There’s a lot more to both actions, especially if you want to be safe, so let’s take a closer look at both steps.

What’s the difference then between Gen4 and Gen4 MOS pistols? Also, what does MOS mean? Glad you asked. MOS stands for Modular Optics System, which in five dollar words means you can put a red dot sight on it.

The Alien Gear ShapeShift is the Odo of holsters. It gives you one holster that will allow you to carry your gun in almost any way you want or need with one holster. The concept is a completely modular system. You buy a single scabbard for your gun and you can attach it to multiple mountings. Best of all, NO TOOLS REQUIRED!

I am always on the lookout for handy gear to help me maintain my guns, so I decided to swing by the Otis Technology booth at SHOW Show 2017. Otis Technology is a family-owned and -operated company that has invested in research and development for serious-use customers.

The holy grail for precision shooting is being able to quickly gauge the distance to your target and take the shot. To that end, Bresser’s new rifle-mounted Equalizer laser rangefinder provides the accurate measurements you need without having to deal with an often-cumbersome separate piece of kit not on your gun.

We always like to stop by the Nikon booth at SHOT Show to see what new gear they have for the year. Nikon is renowned for making great products at good prices, so we were interested to see what was on offer for the year.

Exciting stuff in the world of optics, and Leupold was on point, as usual, this year. Two new releases we saw are sure to resonate with consumers this year.

Gun people are gear people, period. We love mechanical solutions to problems. So, while you may be able to make a good argument that one might not even use the sights on your pistol in a situation like this, why shortchange yourself? If you have the best gear possible (and train with it accordingly), you will only be better prepared. And, it gives you an excuse to buy more stuff, right? So let’s take a look at the new Trijicon HD XR sights.

Mean Arms has a slick new way to reload AR-pattern rifles with fixed magazines using a modern take on the stripper clip called the MA-Loader.
