Police trade in S&W M&P9 9mm with 3 – 17 rnd magazines and Night Sights from Buds Guns Shop. Ok, so let me start off by saying that according to my family I have a hard core firearm addiction. I personally, like to think of it as a personal calling. Much like JC who loves […]

Range Report POF 5KX 9mm Pistol

The next NFA project, the POF 5KX 9mm pistol with a SB tactical MP5 pistol stabilizing brace. OK, I’ve always wanted an MP5 PDW, but come on, as much as H&K rifles can cost, there was no way I was buying one. If I’m going to spend stupid money like that, I’ll just keep saving […]

THE GUNS OF A FULLY STOCKED ARMORY

The Guns of A Fully Stocked Armory

I’m often asked questions like, “What guns should I own?” …and if you search online, you’ll find plenty of articles on what guns to buy for the apocalypse.  This article isn’t about that scenario. I’ve also already done an article on choosing your EDC handgun, so this won’t be about that topic either. Finally, this […]

AK Accessories Abound

Perhaps the best place to start is to acknowledge the fact that accessories can’t replace training.  One can have the latest and greatest hardware (rifle & accessories), yet without the proper software (quality training and regular practice) accessories are merely a distraction.  With efficient and robust software on board, some quality accessories can enhance your […]

Chambered in the hard-hitting 7.62x54R, they’re large enough to kill anything on the North American […]

Member EDC – JR Grounds

I have recently asked members to post what they carry on an everyday basis, so I figured it was only fair to post mine. To start, I need to explain I have my EDC separated into various levels.  When I wore a Tactical gear, it would separated into various levels of gear.  For instance, my […]

Canik TP9SA Handgun Review

For those who know me, I am a gun geek.  I live to try out, and explore new and different weapons platforms. This is usually a very expensive proposition. A few months ago, a friend of mine, who is a firearms instructor in the Chicagoland area told me about a new pistol he had purchased.  […]

Buying the right AK-47 for you

Buying The Right AK-47 For You

Finally, after I had saved my money and searched for weeks on end, there it was…in all it’s splendid glory..the one…the only..AK-47.  I couldn’t believe it.  How could there even be one left in stock.  All the local gun stores only carried the bland AR-15 (lego toy) that every average guy aspired to own.  But […]
