One particular firearm I recommend to newer builders, particularly those without metalworking experience, for “the next build” is the FN-FAL rifle. I recommend the FAL because while it is definitely more difficult to build than an AR is; it’s not that much more so.

Novel, unique, and oddly effective within its admittedly narrow applications, the American 180 is an artifact of the golden age of gun design.

Staccato has blended the best aspects of the legendary 1911 with years of competition tested 2011 improvements and the latest manufacturing upgrades to deliver a unique 4.4” 2011 that will challenge most shooters to keep up with its performance.

I love the Ultra Custom (spoiler) because of its use of leather as the main component. Personally, I like carrying a gun in a leather holster (especially IWB) because the material is much softer to the touch than other options. However, there are negatives to an all-leather design. The Ultra Custom is everything that a leather holster is, without these negatives. Gun retention is on par with a Kydex holster if it is fit right!

This is an absolutely fantastic can and one that I highly recommend. I can tell you it is worth the money, and not just with words. I bought the review model for this week. The Nav 22 is staying with papa bear, where it belongs.

And when it comes to ballistic armor, specifically hard plates that you will find in a plate carrier, proper placement is paramount. Otherwise you are just wearing a weight vest…

Though hardly what might be considered air combat in the Space Age, in January of 1968 the crew chief on an Air America Huey helicopter did indeed bring down an enemy biplane with an AK47.

I like the Savage 110 Scout. The imbedded rubber gripping surfaces and AccuFit features made for a perfect fit. The trigger is good and the cost is affordable. It’s a good shooting handy rifle with nice look.

The Brig starts off like most plate carriers in that it is comprised of two plate bags, shoulder straps and a cummerbund. But as we dive into the details, we begin to see how the Brig shines.
