Why you should break in your handgun barrel So you bought a brand new barrel for your handgun or possibly a brand new handgun.

Silencer Co Osprey 45 – Gimmick or Serious Suppression?

The SilencerCo Osprey 45, a supressor that doesn’t need supressor sights The SilencerCo Osprey 45 is a 45 caliber supressor as the name implies. Its kind of a unique looking supressor, the real draw of it is that because of its design, it sits lower on the barrel allowing your to use shorter height sights. Does it actually work? I don’t honestly think you can use stock height sights, probably reduced height sights would work well like the Dawson precision ones I run on my glock 34, but even in silencer co’s picture of the same pistol I was using,

There’s been a lot of hype around the Springfield Echelon, positive and negative, as springfield made a huge marketing push earlier this year around their latest pistol.

What is the Warrior Poet Way about?

A Book all about Masculinity written by the great John Lovell I had no idea what this book was about when I first picked “The Warrior Poet Way” up. I litterally saw “oh hey John Lovell wrote a book”, and I bought it. But I really didn’t know what to expect until I actually dug into the book. And in a sense I’m really glad that I did it this way. The book couldn’t have come at a better time personally for me. This book is not what you would expect it to be, and I think that is a

The Best Dryfire Tools for Glock Handguns – Quit Slide Racking

Recommended Training Tools in this Blogpost: The BEST Dryfire Tools for Glock Pistols An advantage of the striker fired design is a very safe firearm action that generally speaking cannot go off unless you pull the trigger. Glock was the OG manufacturer of this design, differing from hammer based single action and double action triggers of predecessor designs. However, because the trigger’s main function is to release the internal safety mechanisms of the weapon, as well as to release the striker itself, the trigger does not actually reset the striker, meaning that these designs can have very light trigger pulls.
