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.

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,…

I got my Liberty Lincoln L-15 Deluxe model gun safe back in 1995 because I was a new father who had guns and ammunition in the house and a couple of just-ambulatory children. Anyone who has faced this problem probably worked through the process much like I did. The worst outcome wasn’t some bad guy getting in, though that would be plenty bad, of course. No, the worst outcome I could imagine was one of my kids getting a gun and ammo I left out and hurting themselves. So, secure storage was a requirement.The Liberty Lincoln safe before the drill…
