When the situation calls for shooting the same gun up close or hundreds of yards out, the Vortex Razor Gen III 1-10x has the features to allow top performance at either end of the spectrum. The 10 power gives that little extra to make things possible at greater distances.

Carrying your handgun every day sounds like a great plan when you’re a new gun owner. But once you get going you realize it isn’t as easy as you expected to find the right holster and belt to make carry comfortable and effective.

SIG’s P365XL is a sub-compact that performs like a full-size pistol. Big enough to handle serious self-defense but small enough to carry concealed. The optics ready XL model features an enhanced frame, flat trigger and increased barrel length while retaining the concealability of the original P365.

During my treks across the West, I’ve tested more backpacks than Justin Bieber has hair gels. Why? Simple, a good pack can make the difference between an enjoyable hunt and a miserable one, especially once the game is put down.

Despite some wind noise issues, Champion’s Vanquish Pro Elite is a great option if you’re looking to step up your ear pro game. The acoustic foam and sound suppression keep your ears comfortable all day, the speakers and microphones provide clear feedback about your surroundings, and the 6x amplification is handy in the tree stand.

There are a ton of different holster materials to choose from ranging from leather to Kydex to hybrids to nylon. What do you need to know before investing anywhere from twenty bucks to a couple of hundred dollars into what amounts to belt real estate for your handgun? Turns out there’s more than you might think to choosing a holster.

If you are a licensed gunsmith, DIY oriented gun owner, or someone who will inevitably tinker with their equipment, Lyman’s new AccuSight pistol sight tool will be a valuable asset to you for adjusting dovetail pistol sights. This tool is extremely versatile, fitting most pistol slides, including Glock and 1911 styles.

There’s a wide world of holsters out there and the options are practically endless, so be persistent and you’ll find the right one for you and your G48.

After using the ActionHeat Heated Rechargeable Insoles through the summer months as well as the busiest part of winter, I am convinced that this is the solution that I have been looking for. I am able to adjust the heat with a remote fob, which allows me to cater to the situation at hand. There were days while I was out deer hunting off of horseback in sub-zero weather, where I had them turned to max power in order to keep my feet warm in the stirrups, and then turned them off when I transitioned from riding to walking in order to keep my feet comfortable.
