I hit the range to test out Ruger’s RXD 910Ti, a very unique and versatile 10mm suppressor.Without question, we have solidly entered the age of the suppressor. The sound damping device commonly referred to as a “silencer” has now become the most popular firearms accessory.Three things led us to this moment.The first was the introduction of the .300 AAC Blackout cartridge, which elevated general interest in suppressors. The second was the establishment of mail-order suppressors by Silencer Central. And the third was the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill last year that eliminated the $200 tax on suppressors.Probably, to no…

Choosing the right defensive handgun for you means finding the right blend of size and features for your lifestyle. This can take some time, and just when you think you’ve settled on the right gun, your needs can suddenly change and you’re out gun shopping once more. The correct holster makes all the difference when carrying a compact pistol like the Hellcat .380.

I hit the range with AS Designs’ ARC-Fire Super Safety MP5 lower to see just how fast a semi-auto can go.If you haven’t heard of the Super Safety by now, you’ve been living under a rock. The clever little gadget is capable of massively increasing a gun’s fire rate while still meeting the legal definition of semi-automatic, i.e., one round fired per pull of the trigger. More on that later.All you need to know is that they’re federally legal at the time of writing and, if you own an MP5, there’s not a single better upgrade you could get for…

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,…
Improving your Kalashnikov’s trigger with the Geissele AK-X.One thing AK shooters and admirers will never stop talking about is durability.Well, duh. The AK-47 was designed to be used by peasants; simple and strong were built-in.So was the crappy trigger.If you want to keep the peasants from accidentally shooting each other while assaulting the fascist positions on the Eastern Front (did the Soviets call it the Western Front?), you give them a trigger with a lot of travel.A lot.That runs counter to the way we in the West viewed rifles—something you use by aiming and pressing off a shot.What to do?Just…
I have a great friend named Sario who captured some of the first Kalashnikov rifles encountered in Vietnam. Sario just happened to be one of the first Green Berets in the Army. While today he’s a fit, vibrant, jovial man in his 80s, back in 1965, he was a Special Forces advisor running patrols with the Montagnards against the Viet Cong during his first of three combat tours downrange. 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…
