The Magpul D-50 EV9 - Load Up Your Scorpion

The Magpul D-50 EV9 – Load Up Your Scorpion

Years ago, I served as a machine gunner in the Marine Corps. My time as an 0331 lead me to always appreciate having more ammo than less ammo. My days with belt feds might be long behind me, but my days of drums are only beginning. Today I’ve got a drum for one of my favorite subguns, the Scorpion, and it comes from one of my favorite companies, Magpul.

The Best of Steel Targets? Featuring TaTargets AR550 Silhouettes

For those who have had the opportunity to shoot somewhere besides a public gun range, you have most likely scrounge around looking for targets minutes before leaving. My homemade steel targets would constantly need to be repaired or replaced and would allow a dangerous amount of spalling to fly in all directions. That is why back in 2018 I started researching steel targets.

Blue Force Gear CHLK Belt System

We saw a lot of development in the new style micro battle belt over the last year, a slimming down of the traditional setup. And finally, a King has been crowned. The competition was stiff, but in my opinion, Blue Force Gear has emerged as the clear winner. The CHLK or Combat Helo Load rated Kit is an absolute champion.

Altama All Leather: Urban Boot Acceptable?

Recently, I have fallen in love with a classic and it’s one that might fit your needs as well. Don’t write me off immediately because the name of the boot is the Altama Leather Combat Boot, colloquially known to service members as the “All Leather”.

The Terrapin X Rangefinder; Updated

The Terrapin X Rangefinder; Updated

Today I’m covering their Terrapin X rangefinder, which a few of you may have heard about because it launched in 2018. From what I know, this rangefinder is currently Vectronix’s only item marketed to civilians. Even though it isn’t new to the market, I recently got one and thought it review-worthy because of recent updates to its Bluetooth connectivity and compatibility with popular ballistic apps that most long-range shooters already use.

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.
