The Best Defensive Ammo – Rifle, Handgun and Shotgun

We use good defensive ammo because the task at hand is so important. Not only that, but we want a round that penetrates deep enough and does enough damage to effectively shut a threat down.

Steiner Mk7

The Steiner Mk7 – A Slick Scattergun Light

Mounting lights to shotguns can be tough, especially pump-action shotguns. You are trying to find a way to balance control with light capability and likely find it tough to do so. Recently I posted a review of my Mossberg 500 Retrograde and got a few questions about the light mounted to the end of the magazine tube. The light is a Steiner Mk7 battle light and, unfortunately, has been discontinued. The good news is that they are easy to find on second-hand websites and seem to be priced to move.

The Best Shotgun Upgrades Out There

Estimated reading time: 8 minutes I love my scatterguns. There is something about a shotgun that strikes a chord with me. There is a certain challenge it takes to be skilled with one, and it requires you to be a constant student. The benefit of the shotgun is the massive amount of power it puts [...]

Burris SpeedBead

The Burris SpeedBead – A Disappointing Test

I don’t get why Remington doesn’t just tap their shotguns for an optic’s mount. Like all of their shotguns. Mossberg does it, so why can’t Remington? Luckily, solutions exist, and one that has always interested me was the Burris SpeadBead. It seems like a great solution for a complicated problem. Burris designed the Spea Bead to be an optic mounting solution that doesn’t require a tapped receiver.

The Flash 5 From TactaLoad

The Flash 5 From TactaLoad

The Flash 5 provides shotgunners a simple but robust stock option that excels at being a stock and a spare ammo holder. It certainly beats the pants off the Speed Feed stocks and provides an ambidextrous, streamlined and well-balanced source of spare ammunition.

The Laser Saddle By Crimson Trace - Light It Up

The Laser Saddle By Crimson Trace – Light It Up

I’m an unashamed shotgun nerd, and I love all types of shotguns. This includes guns that are technically not shotguns but use shotgun patterns, shotgun ammunition, and the like. You know, those pesky little firearms like the TAC-14 and Shockwave firearms. These guns tend to be tough to aim and tough to shoot, at least compared to a stocked shotgun. Crimson Trace has your back in making that a fair bit easier via the Crimson Trace Laser Saddle.
