AR-15 Mags: DD Magazine vs PMAG Comparison Review
Both mags stay locked in the rifle well and both are easy to load. One of the most notable differences is the price. You can find PMAGS for about $8-$12 depending on the store and sale price. DD mags run $20-$23 and are harder to find than PMAGs.
Colt 1911 Government Model: The Quintessential .45
I am not, nor have I ever been, a big fan of 1911-style pistols. With that disclaimer out of the way, let me explain how I came back to the 1911. Of course, to outright dislike the Colt 1911 for its history is un-American. No one could ignore the fact that its design would go […]

Beretta 3032 vs. The 30X: Tip-Up Slug Fest
The Beretta 30X is a welcome improvement to the 3032 in some ways and an exciting step back in others. It’s bigger, which makes it comfier to shoot but tougher to conceal.

I still like the 3032, but it might not be for you if you’re unwilling to pay attention to your ammo selection.
Burris RT-3 Mini-3X Prism Sight: A Quick Review
I think the Burris RT-3 Mini-3X Prism Sight is an excellent entry-level optic for the home defense rig. It's affordable and reliable, and while I wish there was an auto-on feature, the optic is rather accurate. It gets the job done and doesn't break the bank. I'll count that as a win.
