If you’re Night Vision-curious, the ATN 4K Pro is a legitimate option at a forgiving price point. It’s loaded with features that will certainly give any Night Hunter an edge but it also works to push Digital Night Vision technology forward and continue to innovate.

The scale of destruction wrought during the Second World War was unprecedented. Such carnage is literally unimaginable today.

If you’re a serious handgun shooter, eventually you are going to want a serious pistol. One that was designed for true perfection, and to maximize the shooter’s ability to perform. Such a pistol is the CZ 75 Tactical Sport Orange, or TSO. It is one of the most elite production handguns on the market. Let’s explore why.

The complete BRN-180 ain’t cheap ($130-150 for the lower + $900 for the upper + parts), but it’s a great option if you’re in an AR-15 rut. The side charging handle and folding stock are eye-catchers at the range, and the rifle is reliable and accurate. While your buddies are building another AR-15 for their ever-expanding collection, branch out to something a little different and check out the BRN-180 from Brownells.

However, there’s still a very real need to be able to record hard copy data from actually putting rounds down range, which can’t be readily augmented by technology.

US military handguns have not been sold to citizens as surplus weapons in quite a long time. Given the current political climate, it’s really hard to tell how long the CMP will keep getting 1911s to sell. I am really happy with the pistol I received, and I believe you will be as well if you get one. If you’re a diehard 1911 fan, these are a must and they’re definitely worth the wait. It’s not every day that you can buy a real piece of history.

The war in Vietnam was winding down, and Michael Thornton was one of only a dozen Navy SEALs remaining in the country. On October 31, 1972, Thornton formed a team along with a SEAL officer named Thomas Norris and three South Vietnamese Special Forces operators.

A straight-pull rifle is cycled by just two motions, backwards and forwards on a linear path. This differs from a traditional bolt action where four motions are required- rotate bolt, pull back, push forward, rotate down. The result is speed, accuracy, and reliability.
