Maxim Defense entered the fray just a few years back as a disruptor to the “same old, same old” firearms industry. They were initially known for their debut PDW brace and stock, a marvel of engineering. Through what we can only assume was a vision on Mescaline, Maxim managed to shorten the normal buffer system of an AR to 1/3rd the length while retaining full spring strength and buffer weight. Not just regular buffers either. They make them all the way up to H3, which is near double standard. Which would prove to be important later, like this week.

Transitioning to Pistol Red Dots with the Holosun 507c ACSS Vulcan from Primary Arms
BY CitizenHush Published: May 15, 2022 { 6 comments }I highly recommend this pistol red dot especially if you’re struggling to get used to them and still want to see what all the hype was about. The ACSS Vulcan was fast, consistent, and made follow-up shots incredibly easy.
SAF Reports a 500% Increase in FFL Revocations
BY Max Slowik Published: May 11, 2022 { 7 comments }While the move is tied to enforcing gun laws already on the books, the SAF believes that certain laws are being pushed past their limits as a form of backdoor gun control.
Where to Buy a Suppressor

Strike Industries Dummy Rounds
BY Clay Martin Published: April 30, 2022 { 1 comment }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.

BY Garrett Negen Published: April 24, 2022 { 4 comments }850 for the blued and $900 for the stainless, these should be solid options in the mid-tier 9mm 1911 market.
One-Armed Boom Stick – The Robinson Armament XCR-L Pistol
BY Justin Opinion Published: April 21, 2022 { 6 comments }I 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. I was interested to see how it would perform with the iconic Russian round, and it met every expectation.
The Sentry Gunnar Belt – Keep It Minimalist
BY Travis Pike Published: April 21, 2022 { 3 comments }The 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.
The SRM 1216 – Space Force Shotgun
BY Travis Pike Published: April 17, 2022 { 5 comments }Shotgun nerds like me are always wary of weirdness, and shotguns attract lots of weirdness. A lot of these weird firearms are often just unreliable gimmicks. I can tell you two things. First, the SRM 1216 is beyond a gimmick, and two, yep, it’s pretty freaking weird.
TiN Coated BCG from Brownells
BY Mitchell Graf Published: April 17, 2022 { 0 comments }If you are piecing together an AR15 upper you have most likely wondered what bolt carrier group or BCG you should go with. These days many manufactures are spitting out BCG’s each with its own set of pros and cons. Listing all of your required features will help narrow down the search to a handful of different BCGs. 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.
