WITH A NEW FORGED LOWER, PWS’S FLAGSHIP MOD 2-M RIFLE NOW FEATURES FULLY AMBIDEXTROUS CONTROLS What’s the big deal with ambi AR-15s? Whether you’re right-handed or left-handed, short of a catastrophic injury or amputation, you’ll never be fully dependent on one hand. This is why many experienced shooters no longer use the terms “strong side” and “weak side,” instead favoring dominant/non-dominant or strong hand/support hand. Your “weak” side can’t be weak, because it’s essential for recoil management, reloads, and other critical tasks. Just as you wouldn’t type an essay or cook a meal with one hand tied behind your back,…

The radically advanced AK-47 rifle surprised American troops when it first appeared, but became more common the longer the war in Vietnam dragged on. On one particularly memorable outing, Sario’s patrol…

It’s a cold morning in Idaho, about 3 hours north of Boise. The crisp frigid air clings to your skin like a wet shirt, as a small fire crackles nearby and fights to spread a little bit of warmth to the men huddled around it. Behind you is a stack of shipping containers, arranged like LEGOs with ladders, shooting ports, and railings. In front of you is mountainous terrain that drops away quickly then climbs back up to a crest in the distance, dotted with steel targets as far as you can see. A man stands before you and your…

We all share similar concerns about being “frozen with fear.” Rather than wait to react to a physiological response such as freezing, how much more of a tactical advantage would it be to affect fear before you find yourself staring at a deadly threat? What can you do right now to proactively control fear or even prevent it? You can change your perspective and manage your expectations by using inoculation, visualization and desensitization. While fear is an understandable reaction to danger, it does not need to control you.
