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 name Wes Crawford, and his company, are synonymous with high-end knives that are made of the best materials with the features that its target audience wants most. Of course, this lineup comes at a premium and puts them out of reach for a good chunk of the common EDC market. Cold Steel, on the…
N8 Tactical is best known for its clear polymer holsters that feature the company’s Twist Release technology. After reviewing these holsters, I was quite impressed but of course, whenever a new retention system is introduced it is met with some apprehension. Although the Twist Release is nearly instinctual, N8 got to work on a new…
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! In previous testing I found the Ranger II to be astonishingly consistent, but the point of impact needed to be straightened out a bit. Also to further prove that you can…

In short, there is very little that you can count on. There is one thing you can take to the bank though…you likely won’t have ear protection on. Now no…
Night sights are almost exclusively associated with handguns. Sure, you’ll likely have a pistol within grasp before you have an opportunity to get to your “truck gun,” but that doesn’t mean you should neglect the shotgun or rifle that you keep in case things get serious. When engaging a target with a long gun it…
There are three things that you need to win a gunfight: capacity, capacity, and capacity. Ok, that’s not true, but it’s pretty hard to stop a rapist with a gun that just ran dry. Until just a few years ago, having double-digit pain on board meant finding a way to conceal a larger gun–but that…
