2 - EOTECH 512- A Classic Reborn?

Clay Takes on the EOTECH 512

Ah, the classic EOTECH 512. It is perhaps especially fitting that we have one in for testing, since it was such a star during America’s longest war. EOTECH was an instant hit with the US Military and came to the attention of many of us when the GWOT started in 2001.

2 - Mk 47 Redux

Clay’s Love for the MK 47 Mutant (w/Mag Tests)

Now, to be honest, I did not expect the Mk 47 to even work. I have been sold this bill of goods before and had yet to see an AR/AK hybrid that did anything besides look hideous.

2 - A Tale of Two Customer Services

Clay’s Tale of Two Customer Services

Two different firearms that didn’t work required that I deal with Customer Service as a regular guy. This is how it worked out.

2 - CrossFire DG3 55L Pack (has video)

Clay’s Take on the CrossFire DG3 55L Pack

This ruck sack came to me highly recommended by a still serving Special Forces brother, and in his words “it’s perfect, and you have to get one.” This is a pretty high bar, considering the amount of time any one of us has spent thinking about and using ruck sacks.

2 - Accessories for your P365/XL

Accessories for your P365/XL

Welcome to a long-overdue review. The P365 family of weapons has been a hot item since its release 3 years ago. We have seen a lot of variants such as the P365 SAS, P365X, and most recently, the P365 Fire Control Unit. The Fire Control Unit, or FCU, is a Sig unique way of making a gun infinitely customizable.

2 - Lights and Lasers for CCW?

Lights and Lasers for CCW?

A good way to start a fight amongst your friends is to bring up the subject of lights and lasers for concealed carry guns. Opinions run strong on this one, and they are all over the map. Some will tell you lasers build bad habits, and you should never have one. Some will tell you lights get in the way on a CCW piece, and you shouldn’t use one anyway. And some will just tell you that if John Moses Browning intended you to have a laser and light, he would have built one back in 1910.

2 - HAWG Pro 20 – Urban camouflage?

Stealth and Hydration: The Unexpected Versatility of CamelBak’s HAWG Pro 20

The H.A.W.G Pro 20 was purpose-built as a bicycle pack, to keep bike types hydrated on the trail. But does it sound like it belongs on the GunsAmerica Digest tactical column? No. Which is the point.
