Ever wish your EDC included a third hand? Us, too … Sadly, right now, an extra limb is beyond the powers of science and medicine. But the Cyclops Solutions Hades headlamp is the next-best thing. Combining the versatility of a flashlight with the hands-free function of a headlamp, you can clip the light to your…
Keep your 5.7, your 6.8, your 20 rounds of 9mm. I have a .45. The .45 ACP was developed by John Moses Browning (pbuh) about 120 years ago. While it’s not the most powerful or ballistically lethal round available, nonetheless the .45 ACP has earned the reputation as being a man-stopper. Why? Its ability to…
Want to DIY Your SIG the UnPewFessional Way? Believe it or not, you don’t have to be a gunsmith to both remove and reinstall an Sig Sauer P-365 back plate. It should seem simple enough, but Sig Sauer uses a locking tab on the striker sleeve that locks the back plate in place. Fools! You…
Taurus says: If you can’t lug a .45, why not “tuc” a .22? We’re going to go ahead and get the caveats out of the way right now. Yes, it’s true that rimfires are considered underpowered for self-defense. Most defensive experts recommend you start at a .380 and move up from there. But let’s face…
Law Tactical introduced its first Folding Stock Adapter 12 years ago. It wasn’t the first of its kind, but it was the first to be a viable product.

Despite the fact that I’m pretty indifferent to any 5.7 firearm, KelTec’s new Sub2000 Gen 3 5.7 piqued my interest nicely….
The Vector from fun range toy to defensive dynamo is clear … One of the most unique firearms in my collection has to be my Kriss Vector, with the Super V Recoil Mitigation System. It’s truly unique in the industry. I own a .45 ACP Vector, and my only complaint with it is that it…
Bond Arms is known for making tiny pocket derringers in all sorts of calibers, from .22 LR all the way up to .50 AE! My personal experience with defensive pistols like these is mixed. On the one hand, I love that these are American-made firearms crafted from stainless steel that I can just drop right…
The Ruger 10/22 is iconic—legendary, even. It’s one of the most recognizable models of firearm on the market, and one of the most popular .22 caliber rifles in the United States since its introduction. An early pioneer of modern firearms design, it’s been in continuous production since 1964. It’s estimated that there are over 7…
This is one SLxy optics line that’ll definitely still respect you in the morning. Primary Arms’ SLx MicroPrism series reflex sights punch way above their weight … erm, price … class. The SLx series offers a solid feature set that would meet the demands of even the pickiest shooter at a price that would be…
The SIG Sauer P-365 is one of the most popular pistols available. But when it comes to customization, or even simple cleaning, SIG tries to lock you out of your slide. With this Quick Tech Tip, the XDMAN, Mr.UnPewfessional Himself! teaches you everything you need to know about removing and reinstalling the Backplate on the…
This might just be one of the top-selling pistols of 2024, and it’s only just hitting stores now!
