Review: The Remington RM-380 Micro-Pistol
I wrote the original story of the new RM380 some months ago. Since that time things have certainly changed for the better at Remington.

Body Armor: Make It or Buy It?
Body armor is a topic that comes up on a fairly regular basis, and for good reason. Although some see wearing body armor as something strictly in the realm of military and law enforcement, the truth is that owning good body armor isn’t just for fun, it’s a wise idea if you’re serious about your […]

Review: Upgrading The SCAR17S With KDG
It is not a secret that I am fond of my SCAR17S. The gun is just magic. With 168 gr BTHP I can put it in the hands of any non-shooter and they can hit steel at 200-300 yards with ease. My friend Greg saw the light at the 2015 FNH USA 3Gun Match when […]

Weird Magazines, Vol. II: The Hill Submachine Gun
Since the first article received a fairly enthusiastic response, I have decided to continue the series on unusual firearms feeding mechanisms. Many of the devices I will cover are associated with equally interesting firearms, but for the sake of brevity I will be mostly talking about the magazines themselves.

G43 vs. 50 Cal – FIGHT!
Okay, its more of a mauling, but that does not mean its not good entertainment and unlike the upcoming Mayweather “finale” boxing match, you dont have to pay to watch this one-sided affair.
