I’m sorry that I didn’t get this out quicker for those of you who have deer season kicking in this week in your state. This product, the Walker Game Ear, shocked me when I got to test it this summer, and I had in mind that I should run the story before deer season, because it is an absolute secret weapon. If you haven’t tried these things, they have super sensitive microphones embedded in them, so they not only protect your ears from your eventual gunshots, they also allow you to hear like…well, a deer.

Is there anything Sig doesn’t make? Their guns have a dedicated following among those who appreciate indestructible tools. And their silencers are just as robust. Today we’re looking at their 7.62 suppressors. Got a .308 you want to tone down? This might be your can.

Ever wondered how silencers work? We’ve got the inside scoop. Click here for all the details.

The process for buying a silencer can seem intimidating. And that’s before you ever get the various suppressor technologies. Griffin Armament has taken care of the later by building a bare bones can that cuts out the complexity, and the cost of 5.56 suppressors. Check out our review.

Regardless of the rifle, if magazines exist for it, some of them are terrible. This is hard to believe for AK owners, who have only ever seen their rifle run flawlessly, but there are in fact, AKM magazines of questionable quality and reliability. So how do you distinguish between gold and crap?

The Gadget is, well, a gadget, for Glock handguns that keeps the striker-fire pistols from discharging while holstering.

Nikon has taken a different approach to solving the challenge of quickly finding the right scope adjustments for a given cartridge and rifle combination. Rather than forcing the shooter to use an “average” ammo load and hoping performance from their specific rifle matches the ballistic drop reticle, they’ll customize a scope for you, your rifle, and the exact type of ammunition you like to shoot.

I have come to realize that some products are worth figuring out. That was the case on my newest trunk gun project, adding an Adaptive Tactical Sidewinder Venom kit to one of my Mossberg 500 shotguns. The kit did not go on easy, which I’ll explain, and I even had to send my gun into the company. But it turned out that the issue was my misunderstanding of the directions, and a miscue of information on the phone. If you have considered buying a KSG, or some other high cap shotgun, yet you have an otherwise unused Mossberg 500 in the safe, I would seriously consider this kit, which starts at $199 and goes to fully decked out at $399. My review is of the base model with a standard forend, but as you’ll see on the company website, there is now a version with an optics rail forend, as well as some current camo pattern options. The Adaptive Tactical Venom Sidewinder is a detachable magazine kit for the Mossberg 500/Maverick 88 shotguns, with the 6 round mag tube. And after some unnecessary trepidation on my part, it works marvelously.
