You’re three days into a backcountry trip, your filter cartridge just split, and the only water source is a stagnant pond that smells like a wet bag of ass. Or maybe it’s not a trip at all — the tap ran dry after a storm took out the water treatment plant and you’re standing over a 5-gallon bucket of questionable creek water wondering what you actually know how to do about it.Iodine tablets are the answer everybody memorizes and almost nobody actually carries when it counts. They’re slow, they taste like a swimming pool had a baby with a penny,…
In today’s article, Ryan Domke reviews the Savior Specialist Range Bag. This is the author’s personally owned gear bag, and he offers his thoughts on how well it performs. I’ve owned more than my fair share of range bags over the years. Some were bargain-bin finds that barely lasted a season, others held up decently but lacked proper organization features, and some were so floppy you might as well use a plastic grocery bag. The Savior Specialist’s semi-rigid frame and well-planned organization keep shooting gear sorted and within reach when it counts. Over the last few years, I’ve noticed Savior…

PROOF Research is advancing barrel technology with its new exponential twist PXT barrels.Rifle barrel technology has been relatively stable for a long time, but PROOF Research may have just changed that. The company’s new PXT barrels, standing for PROOF Exponential Twist, are introducing a seemingly simple change to barrel design that could offer a big improvement to performance and lifespan.While traditional barrel designs use constant-twist rifling, PROOF PXT barrels instead use a progressively changing twist profile. PROOF says that this reduces initial bullet stress, helps maintain rotational stability and prolongs barrel life while improving consistency and performance. As modern high-pressure,…
Bullets with a fast velocity or a high BC are good, but those with both are even better.Since the introduction of the 6.5 Creedmoor, shooters and hunters have become infatuated with bullets that have a high ballistic coefficient (BC). This is understandable because, given the same velocity, the bullet with a higher BC will fly flatter and resist the wind better. Of course, for you to shoot a bullet with an extremely high BC you must have a rifling twist rate capable of stabilizing that bullet at the muzzle velocity you’ll be launching it at. This creates somewhat of a…

When it comes to outside-the-waistband duty holsters, Safariland is the gold standard. The company’s OWB retention holsters, especially the 6000 Series, have been trusted by law enforcement and military units worldwide for decades. However, inside-the-waistband holsters haven’t always been the company’s forte. In 2023, Safariland made a move to change that by partnering with Haley Strategic to release the modern, appendix-carry-friendly INCOG X holster series. More recently, they unveiled the latest variant of the INCOG series, the new minimalist INCOG XS. We spent some hands-on time with the INCOG XS and headed out to the range with Travis Haley himself…
There’s no time like the present to take a critical look at the Craft Holsters Lynx IWB holster, which I tested with my Springfield Hellcat. But first, a little background info. Craft Holsters was formed in 2009 with a vision of offering holsters that are more than just interchangeable pieces of gear. If made with true craftsmanship, they could instead become vital parts of a user’s “daily mission,” whether that be honing one’s shooting ability or standing ready to protect family and community. An insert with my test holster announced “The end of holster drawers,” which is a goal I…
