Here’s an accessory that is supremely elegant, tasteful in appearance, but the with constitution of a tank. The GunBox looks like a high-tech computer or sound system accessory.

A Beretta 92 and the Sounds of Silence…
According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, there are just under 600,000 silencers registered in the U.S. as required by the National Firearms Act. With the current backlog of 74,000 applications for NFA classified guns, that number is rapidly growing. Why? Silencers are polite. While they don’t hush gunshots to whispers as […]
Adventures With A .22 Silencer: The SilencerCo Sparrow
There’s not much more fun in recreational shooting than a .22 with a Silencer. Note I said “silencer” instead of “suppressor.” While “suppressor” is a more technically accurate term, the original devices were named silencers. Maxim Silencers, in fact.

I’ve seen magazine ads for the Mossberg FLEX system for sometime now, but have not had the opportunity to kick the tires, so to speak, until now.

Vanquest MOLLE Sticks: They Will Save Your Sanity
At a recent Gunsite event hosted by my friends at LaserMax, I met Alex. He’s a gear head from Vanquest. But he doesn’t have greasy fingernails or smell like brake fluid, because his gear specialty is packs, bags, totes, backpacks and cases of all sorts. Anyway, Alex showed me a sooper-dooper nifty little invention that […]

If Engarde Body Armor Can Protect Plastic Saddam, It Can Protect You
Today’s work project is shooting plastic Saddam full of holes. Well, I think he’s supposed to be Saddam, but he kinda looks like a 1970s era porn star. Either way, it’s a service to humanity. But it’s not as unfair as it sounds. You see, he’ll be wearing Engarde Body Armor. So he has a […]
