Can The ATN ThOR 4 Get You Out To Long Ranges?

Fri, 10/29/2021 - 19:00

I’ll admit, prior to this review my opinion of ATN was a bit mixed. Around 5 years ago, we had access to an early version of one of their thermal scopes, and it was not ready for primetime. Luckily my opinion has changed after getting some time with the ATN ThOR 4 at a recent […]

New DeSantis Holsters Options for Springfield Armory SA-35

Fri, 10/29/2021 - 12:00

Any gun should have a holster, and a really nice gun made from iron and wood like the Springfield Armory SA-35 requires something special. Gene DeSantis started making holsters back in 1972 and are now introducing a range of holsters to fit the new SA-35. Personally, I would go with a holster made out of […]

Radical Firearms RF-22 Rimfire Rifle

Fri, 10/29/2021 - 09:00

TacSol and Volquarsten have some competition with Radical Firearms’ relatively new RF-22.  Designed as an out-of-the-box accurized semiauto rimfire, the RF-22 features a Picatinny rail integrated with the receiver, a machined bolt and a match-grade threaded barrel with muzzle brake.  I’m not certain why a .22LR needs a muzzle brake, but I guess it looks […]

Concealed Carry Corner: Easy Range Tips

Thu, 10/28/2021 - 18:00

One of the more common questions I get when it comes to concealed carry is how to focus on training for carrying concealed.

TFB Review: Bourne Precision Fury AR-15/AR-10 Charging Handle

Wed, 10/27/2021 - 18:00

When it comes to hunting and shooting modern sporting rifles (commonly referred to as AR-15/AR-10 rifles) most of the essential components that make up these firearms are merely an after-thought. That is, unless they fail you. If shooters allow their rifle to get too dirty or they are “too cheap” when it comes to purchasing […]

BOLO: Otter Creek Labs Suppressors And Muzzle Devices

No, that is not an Allen Engineering AEM5 over-the-barrel suppressor pictured above.
