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.

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.

Let’s assume you have some rimfire rounds on hand–and I know some of you do–what should you do with them? For those of you with an M9, I’d suggest this conversion kit. If you have the ammo, it makes training with the Beretta practical and economical.

The MULE. That’s an appropriate name for this beast. The MULE Tactical Stock is one of a kind. Inside the main compartment on the MULE is a storage area that is built to house a GLOCK, or other similarly sized pistol. Now you can put your back up gun inside you gun. But how practical is the MULE and how does it change the AR? Read on….

How do you control the myriad of factors that influence long range accuracy? You need decent math skills. You should choose your ammunition carefully. But you really need to start with the gun itself. Many long range shooters depend on a chassis for their rifle that can fit their needs precisely. Are they worth the extra effort and expense? We’ll answer this with the help of Accuracy International’s new AX AICS.
