Is the 1911 obsolete?
Intro I want to start this off by saying I have shot a lot of 1911s but have never been in love with them. I can see why many carry and love them, but they have never filled my needs. Now in my experience there are bad and good 1911s. The bad ones usually cost less, have fewer features, and are well-known. The good ones are usually custom and cost a bit closer to a nice European vacation. Luckily these days we have companies that offer a mid-range option that are much more a

Product Review: XS Sights, Is it For You?
There are a lot of sights in the industry for many firearms, Glocks are probably one of the most modular and easy to “Do it yourself” firearms out there. The aftermarket products for Glocks are staggering. Most Glock owners first modification, and for some their only, is to change the sights.

I have had a lot of different magazines in my life from issued GI mags to Magpul P-Mags.

Ranger Reviewed A Look at T1 Ammunition
Intro T1 Ammunition is disabled veteran-owned business that purchased an existing ammunition factory in Sarasota Florida in May of 2013. They develop ammunition for target, competition, and defense. I was sent 100 rounds of their 9 mm. 124 gr. Target, 150 rounds of 9 mm. 124 gr. Competition, and 250 rounds of .223 55 gr. FMJ. The ammo came in standard 50 round boxes that are clearly labeled –Important in my opinion – and all the rounds were in Styrofoam type ammo trays. I a

ReadyMan Hostage Escape Card Review
ReadyMan is a company founded by U.S. Special Operations Forces veterans and skilled outdoorsmen. They’ve created several credit sized survival cards. The subject of this review is the Readyman Hostage Escape Card. I put the card through its paces with some of the breaching skills I acquired in the Ranger Regiment. The tool cards are priced between $12.95 to about $15.95. They are about the size of a credit card and will easily fit in a standard sized wallet. It is lightwe
