    Hearing Protection Act: Are Silencers Legal Now?

    Hmm, the only issue with still using the form 4473 is that ATF has already been caught and it is verified through a digitizing of the forms they have collected, photographed, etc to the tune of almost a billion-gun transitions over the past decades. This was deemed illegal in 1984 by.... wait...

    Review: Meprolight Tru-Vision SR

    Hmm, I have the Meprolight 21 mounted on an IWI Tavor, cause that what was supposed to be on the Tavor, even though it is 300 BLK. That said, there is no batteries, it uses tritium for night ops. It appears that this one will address the issue of shade to bright that requires a polarized filter...

    Should You Not Run a Red Dot on Your EDC?

    Me too as I always considered (other than sniping) use the iron sights like a real shooter... Then father-time caught up and this old dog had to learn new tricks with some optics costing as much as the host. Then I had to retrain my butt, but since I can't see the front-sight(s) anyway, the...

    Lockheed F-94 Starfire — Cold War Soviet Bomber Interceptor

    My gosh, been flying for well longer than I want to admit, but that one got by me and would make a great airshow plane (static) based on the last model is interesting. Looks like the business end of a bazooka or flying rocket pod and haven't seen one. But I did go to the Air Force Museum and...

    Should You Not Run a Red Dot on Your EDC?

    We called it the "rock" and always had to stick the weak hand in the front beltloop during training and I wondered if having to use, the bad guy was going to wonder why I was sticking my left hand in my pants before he was dusted with the right...

    Mastering the Bowling Pin Shoot

    Shooting a similar but not as rewarding challenge course on steel and the only place where one can exceed one shot per second. The pins would be harder due to size and yes it gets addictive over punching paper and then there is the desire to upgrade pistols for the task, I believe a commie plot...

    Choose Your Weapon, Wisely

    Back in the 70's we were taught an improper technique for a Patrol Officer with the use of the baton, as it was better for a Correction Officer. It exposed the weapon and wasn't long before my fears were manifested with a punk hanging onto my service revolver, I did have the better grip. Point...

    Should You Not Run a Red Dot on Your EDC?

    Also being from the Clan of the Cave Bear, I remember when shooting 50 yards with my weak hand using a good ole six-shooter in the blowing rain getting splinters from a 2x4. Then came them there Canadian/European 38 Short cartridges that were packed in 15 to a clip, I mean mag. Bought and...

    Griffin Micro Carry Comp Review

    A follow up on the Cam-Lok mounted version is after conversations with Griffin, they want 20-inch pounds for that particular mount of which I didn't know. They were outstanding, replaced the mount with the information included after asking how to keep it from occurring again. That said, shoots...

    My hands are yuge, my finger won't fit in the... Naw, it is amazing even after a half century of firing handguns and even rifles I guess, I am still trying to know "exactly" where to put the booger hook... Hell, even find my thumb migrating to the opposite side of the stock during long range...

    Mortar Grenades: How Two Medals of Honor Altered "Saving Private Ryan"

    Great read and never really knew how they worked, but was always at awe with the Mortar after watching a firepower display at Ft "BRAGG" prior to Iraq 1.0. That was after watching all the other systems to include the F-15 with "retarded" bombs. The mortar display was just amazing watching the...

    Handloads for Semi-Auto Rifles vs. Bolt-Guns

    Nice article that touches on several points of interest... That said, took it up about 3 years ago with the thought how hard can it be. I mean I know a couple of armors that did it and they weren't the sharpest crayons in the box! Boy, was I wrong and even with a degree in aeronautics this...

    Heat-Activated Caveman Smoke Coatings

    Looks like a hoot for the range toys but would shy away from coating anything that has a chance of being used in a self-defense situation. But then again it is doubtful it could be seen in a 72-degree courtroom and therefore... I like it and maybe other applications as well, like scooter...

    What If the M16 Rifle Never Existed?

    Hmm, my intro to the military involved my issue weapons that were a Colt 1911 for watch duty and the M-14 for Security Breach details. Replaced when I went into LE with a S&W 357 mag and 870 shotgun and they were replaced with a S&W 645 (659 for 2 months) and a Mini-14. Completed the career...

    Griffin Micro Carry Comp Review

    Thanks for the response and yes it was the correct one for my application as revealed or shall I say confirmed by the video. My issue may be with the fellow shooter "MAY" have twisted it or not. As stated, I have no trouble with the product, BUT it has to be positively secured on the Cam-Lok...
