MAC Takes A Look Inside The Kel-Tec RDB
George Kellgren is certainly one of the most inventive small arms designers alive today, although his company Kel-Tec has unfortunately become known for their QC troubles and availability problems more than how inspired the designs are.

1911 Gets the Larry Vickers Slow-Motion Treatment and its Awesome
While the PWS cut-away video from a couple years ago was fun to watch, this one is downright awesome. The cut-away is courtesy of Wilson Combat a notable expert in semi and full-custom 1911s. Using gratuitous slow-motion and multiple angles, Vicker’s showcases the inner workings of the ubiquitous handgun. To me, the fascinating part is […]

The BATTERYCLIP From BatteryClip and TNVC
Now here is an idea I wish I had back in the Corps. With most accessories operating off of CR123 and AA batteries, keeping spares was a pain in the arse as most of the time we simply put them in a plastic baggie in a grenade pouch so they were always on our person […]

Bipod Talons by Tactical Supply
I’ve always contended that it is the simple things that make a good product great. Harris and other bipods are excellent, but in true deployed environments, their feet can slip. The Talon, available at Tactical Supply is a dead-simple upgrade that makes the bipod stick into the ground, perhaps at the expense of the ground. […]
