The PolyCase Ammunition ARX first came out in 2014, and saying they’re unique is a bit of an understatement.

POTD: Johnny Depp with Taran Butler
Taran Butler posted this photo on his Facebook page. There are some interesting things to notice in this photo. Taran has great trigger discipline. Johnny Depp, not so much.

Gun Crowdfund Find: Magnetic Tactical Belt
The “Quicky” is a new magnetic tactical belt seeking crowdfunding on Kickstarter by inventor Machael Sargent. In short, its fully adjustable belt that uses a magnet to keep the main clasp together and so long as you don’t suck in your gut too much, it seems rather difficult for one to get this belt to […]

Review: Black Dawn BDR-243
MSRs lend themselves quite well to hunting. Ergonomic, customizeable, accurate, and with straight line recoil, they offer a serious alternative to more traditional bolt-actions or semi-autos such as the BAR or R1. Black Dawn Industries is a relative newcomer to the MSR game, Opening Black Dawn Armory in 2010 in Sedalia, MO. They were kind enough […]

No, You Cannot Over-insert a Glock Magazine
While not a raging debate recently (although I have seen a few instances on various forums), I believe it is important to ensure gun fallacies are put to bed, permanently. Let me say it clearly: you cannot over-insert a magazine in a Glock handgun. For example, many said that using a 17 magazine in a 19, […]
