New Sage Dynamics Instructor: Jon “Duffy” Dufresne
Sage Dynamics has added a new instructor to their cadre, Jon Dufresne, and as it turns out he has a whole lot of nicknames. They include Duff and Duffy (because who could possibly pronounce that last name?), and for reasons which we’re certain to learn soon, Mocha Bear. Read more

To Extend or Not to Extend: Xtreme Precision Extended Pivot and TDP
Intro When it comes to ARs, pivot and takedown pins are nothing special. They are generally the standard mil-spec ones that do the same thing all the others do. Some companies have created some with dimples to help pull them to the open position, some make them lock with a small detent, and then we have Xtreme Precision that made some extended pivot and take down pins. I’m not usually one to add extended parts on my rifle but sometimes you come across a worthwhile addition t

Suit Up! Ministry of Supply
Intro In adult life we acquire quite a bit of formal or business attire. For professionals or savvy dressers even more. For men specifically, the style of suits available are pretty generic. There are only a few styles, fabrics, and options. All of the suits I personally own are the standard wool box-shape suit that works for everything from business meetings to weddings. I primarily use a suit for work in executive protection which may require me to blend in or stand out; d

MOS Tactical SPAV-W for the win!
Intro Plate carriers, they are in abundance in this industry but few seem to try new things and many just copy existing designs. If you are like me you have tried quite a few and possibly torn, broken, or modified the carriers to fit your likes, needs, and/or mission. The creators of MOS Tactical went through the same conundrum. After thousands of dollars and many failed experiences MOS decided that they can make a better and more capable plate carrier with options for most

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. The Glock plastic sight are possibly the worst sights you could own. They are flimsy, plastic, and truthfully outdated. Glock probably doesn’t change them because the market has plenty o

Limitless Gear AR15/M4 Magazine Pouches
Intro In the AR15 world there are an overwhelming amount of parts and supporting accessories. Magazine pouches are one of those products that you can find in many colors, styles, and materials. I have used many different types for work and recreation. Limitless Gear is fairly new to the market and quite innovative with their products. I was provided two OD Green MC-R OPFOR Magazine pouches to review. At first glance I really liked the simple and low profile design. Also the
