Ammo Test: Barnes TAC-XP .45 ACP +P

The New Dan Wesson .357, Back with a Vengeance

The New Dan Wesson .357, Back with a Vengeance

Dan Wesson double action revolvers are back. It has been about 10 years since there have been new production DW revolvers on the market. CZ USA, which bought the Dan Wesson company in 2005, have made pistols under the name but until late last year a very limited number of revolvers. And not just any revolver, the awesome Dan Wesson model 715 is back and it looks like it is here to stay.

New Kydex Designs from Black Rhino Concealment

Some established holster makers have long wait times. Others seem to bend plastic and act like that’s all it takes. But gambling on an unknown maker with an innovative design is risky when you’re talking about guns. That’s why we’re here. We put them through their paces. And today we’re looking at Black Rhino Concealment.

Perfecting the Remington 700 with Accuracy International’s Chassis

How do you control the myriad of factors that influence long range accuracy? You need decent math skills. You should choose your ammunition carefully.

We’ll answer this with the help of Accuracy International’s new AX AICS.

Prepping 101: Rocket Stove Canning

Prepping 101: Rocket Stove Canning

No matter how much food you store, it will never be enough. At some point you will have to either grow your own food, or provide a valuable product or service that you can swap for food, or for the “coin of the realm” (whatever money turns out to still work after the collapse), that you can swap for food. But in most parts of the world, food doesn’t grow year round regardless. Grains will store with little outside intervention. Beans will certainly store in most environments, and potatoes, winter squashes, and some fruits will last the winter if you provide for them a root cellar of some sort that will keep them fresh. Other than that, if you want to eat vegetables and fruits year round, you will have to learn how to can your food. It isn’t hard, but you have to do it now, because as you’ll see, canning is fraught with pitfalls if you don’t do it right.

These Sig Sauer V-Crown 9mm bullets expanded perfectly after passing through the four-layer FBI test fabric.

Ammo Test: Sig Sauer Elite Performance V-Crown 9mm

While the Sig ammo is a relative newcomer to the market, the people are not. I spent some time talking with Dan Powers, who runs the ammo show, and it’s clear that the folks behind Sig Sauer’s new ammunition division have been there and done that. Because every caliber, load and brand combination is different, we’re going to be testing a number of different Sig Sauer loads over the coming weeks. We’ll start the handgun family with Sig’s Elite Performance V-Crown 9mm load.

Prepping 101: $998 Off-Grid Wood Cookstove $995

This is one of the few articles in this series where I haven’t yet reviewed the product, but I plan to follow it up with a review in the future because I bought one. My intention in posting this today is to give the regular readers of this column a official heads up on a heavily discounted and apparently high quality product that may be a priority for you in your prepping supplies. For many years I have been looking at wood cook stoves. If you have never seen one (and I actually haven’t in person), these are not regular woodstoves. Wood cookstoves were popular in the US between the 1880s and 1930s. They look like a regular stove, with an oven and burners, but they run on wood and have no electric or gas components.
