Are you seriously leaving your house without a flashlight? The company known as 5-11 is best known for its tactically-minded clothing, footwear, and baggage, but most forget about the plethora of everyday carry items that it has to offer, such as the EDC-K USB and the EDC PL 2AAA Flashlight. My ultimate intention is to…
Although getting shot at the range is highly unlikely, other hazards do indeed exist. About 10 years ago I found myself getting rushed to a hospital that was more than 40 miles away due to an errant piece of lead from an improperly hung steel target. We got the bleeding controlled in a matter of…
The Taurus GX4 puts a lot of features into your hand for a price that is nearly unheard of in today’s market.

If you’ve ever fired a North American Arms revolver then you probably came to the same conclusions as me, those little suckers can shoot!
