Priapism warning

Sometimes, when the stars align just right and the gods of the blogging world miss the ‘smote’ button and hit ‘apply blessings’ by mistake, things go well. Two T&E firearms are scheduled to make their appearance at Casa De Carencia De Pantalones. One in a caliber I’m well known for having a penchant of shooting, the other a rifle that I have already purchased (but sadly looks suspiciously like new cabinets and countertops in the kitchen) and is in my Top 5 “Want” list. Yes. I have a dumb...

Boberg

Tam shot hers and has good things to say I still can't get over how mild this gun is to shoot. Tiny, lightweight nines tend to be vicious; the Kahr PM-9, for instance, is not the kind of gun with which you'd want to spend an afternoon plinking soda cans, but you could shoot the Boberg all day. I hate shooting my Kel-Tec P3AT. It’s uncomfortably small for my hands, the recoil is unpleasant, the trigger sucks in a way that probably violates an Orek patent, but it fits in a pocket and even...

Louisville Leather holster review

A few weeks ago, I was approached by Ryan of Louisville Leather to see if I’d be interested in reviewing some of his holsters to help get the word out about his business. I was delighted to help and Ryan sent me this beautiful holster for my M&P 40. I am simply amazed at the quality that a small company can deliver. I’m far from a leather-smith but I can easily tell that these holsters are solid, well stitched, and designed well. It carried perfectly, sitting just right on my belt and...

Epic HD1080 Helmet Cam review

A while back when I was talking about getting a POV cam for USPSA, OpticsPlanet.net emailed me and asked if I’d like to review the Epic HD1080 High Definition Adventure Camera (at a discount) to which I replied “Duh!” Not but a few years ago, any video camera that was mountable and not a bajillion dollars ran at 15fps at 640x480 and made your webcam look crystal clear in comparison. Technology marches on and today you can get a high-definition video camera like the Epic HD1080 for under $200. ...

I like mine

Tom over at My Gun Culture reviews some ESS Crossbow Eyeshields. I own a pair of ESS Ice that I got from OpticsPlanet.net and I have been nothing but thrilled with them. The yellow lenses make indoor shooting and overcast days easier, the tinted lenses are perfect for the sun, and clear for… um… I don’t know. I’ve never put on the clear ones. The Ice are comfortable and from what I hear, durable. Like Tom whines over at his blog, I ain’t gonna shoot myself in the face to test them for that.

Like sending free tickets to the circus to someone with coulrophobia

Living the pants free lifestyle isn’t always that easy. With all the restraining orders and ever increasing court appearances for disorderly exposure (I swear, they made that charge up just for me), there comes a time when pants are simply required and ‘open-rear kilts’ are a no-go. So, because they are necessary, it behooves one to have a few sets of slacks in the closet just in case. A while back, in what I can only surmise was a joke amongst the marketing department, I was approached by...

Some guys have all the luck

When it comes to guns, I am very utilitarian. I want to pull the trigger, have the mean gun go boom, and a hole appear where I was aiming. If I can’t shoot it, I don’t want it, so pretty guns or firearms with historical value have no place in my gun safe. However, when it comes to the KRISS Vector, I go full retard – I don’t need it, it’s not practical, I can’t own the ‘fun’ version anyway, but none of this matters. I want it like Michele Obama wants ranch dressing for her deep fried fajita...

Blinded by the light

A review of the Crimson Trace Lightguard Crimson Trace has applied that same instinctive activation to a handgun-mounted light called the Lightguard. No switches, gizmos or doo-dads to muck up your draw stroke. Just grip the pistol normally and you activate the “on” switch, emitting 100 lumens of light—more than enough to light up your living room and temporarily blind anyone who happens to be on the receiving end of the light. Like Chance, I too learned to love the Crimson Trace lasers...

MGI Rate & Recoil Reducing Buffer

Photo by Robb Allen I was approached recently with an offer to T&E the Rate & Recoil Reducing Buffer from MGI Industries.

The 5.11 post

There comes a time in a mans life when he has to bow to certain social norms, forego his freedom and principles, and just put on a pair of damned pants. Situations like ‘work’, ‘church’, and ‘court appearance over those (ever increasing) indecency charges’ require a bit more tact. So while it was somewhat of a social faux pas (to be generous), I actually was glad when 5.11 Tactical approached me to review a few items of theirs, including a pair of leg-shirts.

I’m not the only person who reviews stuff in this town

Kevin reviews the Leupold 1.5x-4x Scope. For my AR, I want a decent red dot. I’m not really interested in “Beyond 100 yard” distances and while I can generally hit with irons, I like the fast acquisition of a red dot. However, good glass is worth it in everything I’ve ever seen. I’ve got some shitty glass that makes you WANT to use the irons. Granted, the only reason I’m not into >100yd shots is because I don’t hunt. I probably should remedy that.
