With the ammo shortage going around, it is a safe bet all of us are doing a lot more dry fire. And an often overlooked element of dry fire is having some dummies on hand. And probably not for the reason you think. But trust me, it is worth the $15.95 to have a set or two.

One-Armed Boom Stick – The Robinson Armament XCR-L Pistol
BY Justin Opinion Updated: April 21, 2022I went pretty quickly from near-total ignorance of Robinson Arms products to full-fledged fanboy in the space of shooting a few magazines of .300 Blackout in an XCR-L in SBR configuration some time back.

The Sentry Gunnar Belt – Keep It Minimalist
BY Travis Pike Updated: April 21, 2022The Gunnar belt provides an excellent platform for mounting all your tactical goodies. It’s small and discrete enough to ensure you can conceal it if necessary. The Gunnar is a perfect duty belt and provides a modern tactical option that will allow you to retain all your necessary gear without needing a chest rig or plate carrier. Sentry made the belt comfortable, durable, and truly minimalist without requiring any kind of harness to keep the belt from shifting.

TiN Coated BCG from Brownells
BY Mitchell Graf Updated: April 17, 2022If you are piecing together an AR15 upper you have most likely wondered what bolt carrier group or BCG you should go with.

When I pieced out and built my 11.5” AR15, my requirements were that the BCG had to be affordable, full-auto rated, and TiN-coated was preferred. Enter the Brownells M16 Bolt Carrier Group with the Titanium Nitride coating.
Colt Walker Ballistics, Accuracy, Shooting Tips
BY Paul Helinski Updated: April 10, 2022The Colt Walker, or Walker Colt according to some, is an iconic but historically insignificant firearm. In firearm development it was a big deal, because everyone figured out that nobody really needed a horse pistol. Ballistically, this gun is a true Magnum when it comes to cap & ball pistols. I tested the Walker at length with balls and heavy bullets, and it is a monster of a handgun, from all the way back in 1847.
