Compensators or Ported Barrels for your pistol? Which is Best?

Which is better, compensated or ported barrels? So you may be wondering if you should go with a compensator or a ported barrel for toning down recoil on your firearm. Both approaches have pros and cons, some of which is definitive and some of which is subjective. Today i’m going to walk through both solutions and then give my reasoning for my preference between both options. So I have shot through several compensated Glock builds.

Makarov – The Soviet Bad Guy Gun

The Makarov is the Quintessential Bond Villain Gun I recently had the opportunity to shoot a Makarov pistol when a friend brought a surplus one to the range. I knew next to nothing about them except that these are a pretty notorious bad guy gun in James Bond films. And I used them a lot in the game stalker back in highschool. So to actually get to shoot one was a cool experience. It’s a surprisingly shootable pistol. Real History of the Makarov pistol What I didn’t realize until I did some research was how much history the pistol actually

How to Disassemble a Locked up Glock Slide while On the Frame

Don’t Worry, Disassembling a Locked up Glock is Easy Alright so you screwed up. You accidentally put your slide back on without installing the barrel on your Glock pistol. Whoops. I’ve done this a couple times myself. You’ve locked up your glock slide really badly and can’t get it off the frame. A common reason for this is that you might have re-assembled the gun forgetting to reinstall the barrel. The slide now won’t slide off cleanly. You should not try to force the slide off of the pistol, there is a better way. In this video we’ll show you

The Holosun 407K is the absolute best value in a Shield RMSc compatible footprint

The Best budget optic for Shield RMSc Optics Ready Pistols If you have a compact or subcompact concealed carry gun that is already optics ready, chances are it is shield RMSC cut. Many budget handguns like the Taurus GX4 Toro are cut for this pattern. Some come bundled with an optic out of box, oftentimes a budget offering from Riton or Crimson Trace. However, If yours didn’t come with a red dot or if you’re looking to upgrade to something with a little more reliability, Holosun has a budget option for you, the Holosun 407K. But before we dive in,

Ditch the Supressor Sights and Achieve an Absolute Cowitness with Dawson Precision Sights

Why you should absolute cowitness your red dot to your iron sights A lot of people online will tell you to never cowitness your pistol red dot with your iron sights. This is because historically, doing so will result in you just using your irons with the red dot essentially verifying your zero. Or worse, you could have obnoxiously tall supressor height irons that obscure the dot. You basically zero your red dot above your point of impact and then hold over for all of your shots using kentucky windage. I understand the argument, I really do. If you cowitness

Sig P320: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Sig P320, an Unbiased Look with Coming off of glock I thought I’d give the Sig P320 a try to see what all the hype or perhaps I should say drama has been about. Now I do have some good news to report, the gun didn’t just start firing itself when I gave it a weird look, but I also only rented it for a day, so I can’t report on all the drama of the P320. I wanted to set that aside and really do this review just off of my initial range performance running the actual pistol. Guys

Peltor Comtac : $8 Fix for Dangling Cords

Don’t let your cords dangle like a savage The peltor comtac series are super high quality hearing protection with built in microphones frequently issued to military and law enforcement personnel. Because the ear pro is of such high quality, you probably like running these things at the range. It definitely works a lot better than your typical pair of walker’s razors, so I prefer to run these at the range. However, the wiring can be annoying if you don’t have them plugged into your communication device. The microphone flips around to the side so its no big deal, but the
