Jumping The Gun (Literally): Saudis Dancing With Guns
Reuters recently released photos of a traditional Saudi dance that involves – of all things – participants jumping up into the air and firing their jezails (a type of muzzleloader from the region) at the ground. This is something that is probably better seen than described: You might say many things about the Sauds, but you […]

However, all you savvy computer users can redeem yourselves with these “laptop decals” from ReFactor Tactical.

Philippines Special Forces Commercial
This is a pretty cool video showing off Philippines Special Forces. I didn’t know they had Special Forces. Looks like they use US weapons. M16s, M4s, and M249s. I like the dramatic style and cinematography of the commercial. Also Tiger camo is cool.

Shield CQS Red Dot Review
I’m a firm proponent of Micro red dot optics. They’re lightweight, unobtrusive, and provide an excellent aiming solution. I’ll use them on rifles, shotguns, handguns, doesn’t matter. I like the simple process of putting a dot on target and hitting it. Their liabilities are pretty universal between brands: How long is the battery life? Are they tough […]

Review: Lone Wolf Distributors Ultimate Adjustable Trigger (UAT)
Since I started shooting handguns, I have gravitated towards Glocks. Not because they are pretty (though pretty utilitarian), but because I chose a platform that has immense aftermarket support. Now down to only a single “stock” Glock, the others invariably have collected parts from Lone Wolf Distributors, which is the largest name in Glock parts. […]
