This weekend I had the pleasure of using my new Kowa TSN-821A with 27X Long Eye Relief at the Virginia Sport Shooting Association Advanced High Power Rifle clinic. I could clearly see .223 holes in the black on an overcast door at 200, with ease! Best scope I have ever used. Next weekend...

Today's mail brought a Milt Sparks SSII for my first .40 S&W (a Beretta 96 written up elsewhere). I am wearing it as I write this. It appears to be a very well made holster. It certainly is fast for an IWB! It was accompanied by a single mag pouch, also IWB configuration. This has a tab of...
