    So, I've worked out a deal with these guys: Pittsburgh Cerakote where they have agreed to do a complete custom cerakote job on 1 rifle of mine in exchange for me doing a YouTube Video of them with links and the whole 9 yards.

    Clinger's "No-Print Wonder" Holster - Initial observations

    So, after my debacle with another IWB style holster, a suggestion came my way to check out Clinger's holsters - specifically their No-Print Wonder Holster. Disclosure: I've only been using it for 2 days. My thoughts: It's a good $60.00 holster. It reminds me of the style of the CTAC...

    So, I called out my senator for getting a CC bill defeated - and I got threatened.

    In West Virginia we've been trying to get a Constitutional Carry bill passed. It passed the House by a wide margin and it passed the Senate by 30-4 - a true landslide. Then Bloomberg got involved - started tossing money to Sen. Joe Manchin who took to the airways and started telling all...

    Alien Gear Holsters - I can't recommend them...

    Ok - so here is the full video review I did on the Alien Gear Cloak Slide holster for the Springfield XDS-4.0 in .45acp... The short is that I don't think this is a safe holster for two reasons. 1) The belt loop straps are too narrow and not enough material around the grommets. This could...

    DeSantis E-GAT Holster Review

    I just finished putting together a review video for the Desantis E-GAT holster, this one was specifically for the Springfield XDS-4.0 .45acp, however I'm sure the results for the rest will be similar if not the exact same. Not sure how, or if I can embed a youtube video here, so you'll just...

    Springfield XDS-4.0 .45acp

    Got my first new handgun in several years, the Springfield SDX-4.0 4" .45 ACP (All photos are mine) When got to the store, the dealer still hadn't opened up the UPS box - I was shocked to see the size of the box. Frigging huge. I figured there were a couple guns in it for different...

    DIY - Making Subsonic .223/5.56

    I've been tinkering around with making subsonic ammo for my suppressed 5.56. I threw together, today, a fairly terrible video giving a step-by-step instruction on how to make subsonic ammo for 5.56. I'll create a better one later, but the info is in there: Click here for the video

    .223 range brass - coming up short (length)

    I've run into a situation that I can't figure out a decent explanation for... I am in the habit of buying, in bulk, range brass. This is typically once-fired, and sometimes more. I buy no less than 2k at a time. (Talking of .223/5.56 here.) This was to secure my storage of brass for SHTF...

    Reloading Tracers - What am I up against?

    A few months ago I got a good deal on 2,000 air pulled 5.56 62 grain tracers. These came from Lake City from a reputable dealer. I've not done anything with them since they came in until today when I opened up the box and started inspecting them. What I found gave me some cause for concern...

    One heck of an AR build - comments wanted.

    AR-15 Build - What would you have done differently and why? Well, thanks to a supply mess-up by Mega Arms, I’ve managed to either purchase or receive the very last part needed to finish my AR-15 build. This being my first AR build, I probably went overboard in places - but I have a reputation...
