gear review

Welcome to a long-overdue review. The P365 family of weapons has been a hot item since its release 3 years ago. We have seen a lot of variants such as the P365 SAS, P365X, and most recently, the P365 Fire Control Unit. The Fire Control Unit, or FCU, is a Sig unique way of making a gun infinitely customizable.

The H.A.W.G Pro 20 was purpose-built as a bicycle pack, to keep bike types hydrated on the trail. But does it sound like it belongs on the GunsAmerica Digest tactical column? No. Which is the point.

You shouldn’t carry medical gear. YOU HAVE TO carry medical gear. And our buddies over at Grey Ghost Gear just made that a little easier on us.

It takes time for the muscles in your neck to adapt, and it can be a painful experience.

This week we got our hands on one of the simplest and most elegant pieces of gear I have ever seen. So simple, in fact, that this review will probably be short on words.

This week you get to see me eat a little bit of crow as I finally come around from being a dinosaur to embracing the new hotness. Well, maybe not the newest hotness. But I am finally going to admit that something we started to see about 10 years ago is an improvement over the default AR-15 design.
