Straight Talk

I won’t hide it, but I’m a huge HK fan. Name something more ubiquitous than a roller-delayed sub-gun. Any millennial who grew up playing Call of Duty will understand. More than that, these firearms are part of popular culture. Movies, TV shows, and books all highlight the guns of HK. Unfortunately, many of those guns, even though they are awesome, are outdated and…expensive. Like really expensive. Plus, most of the ones people want HK don’t offer us regular folk (it’s like they hate us). E

The 10-millimeter cartridge trajectory is trending upward. Since its inception, the cartridge has traversed many mountains and valleys to be where it is today. A decade ago, the cartridge was niche, with only several new guns chambered in it. Now, almost every major manufacturer is making a handgun for the magnum-like cartridge. A more surprising trend has been its inclusion in pistol caliber carbines (PCC). This is where the 10mm’s potential is finally harnessed.The LC in 10m. Personally,

In general, this is a good idea, even for the novice shooter. Many shooters in this space will add compensators to the ends of threaded barrels to aid in this. This has started a trickle-down effect where more and more shooters are adding compensators to their everyday

Everyday Carry, or EDC as it is namely called, is an ideology that is more than simply carrying a firearm—it is a lifestyle. In the gun industry, we have spent an abundance of time building the ultimate carry pistol and fashioning accessories to make it better. But we don’t discuss everyday carry as an ideology and lifestyle. The chances of a person ever brandishing their concealed carry pistol are slim—as in minuscule. And as important as carrying that firearm is, the other tools that acc

Adventures are tantalizing. They bring about emotions and anticipation that you didn’t know existed. While the destination or goal is the end, the journey to get there is what’s most exciting. The hard work, research, exploration, and due diligence culminate in the result. It’s why we start them—and sometimes never finish—because of the journey. And that’s where we start—at the beginning of a new adventure.Creating a Superpower Before taking a Low-Light course, I wanted to experience Nigh
