Ever since the COVID lockdown, I noticed one thing. People were getting cabin fever pretty quickly. RV’s, side-by-sides, Jeeps and car dealerships were selling through their inventory at record pace. People were leaving the metropolitan areas and getting outside. I too decided to spend a few weekends sleeping in the Michigan wilderness. It was so […]
When the Glock 43x showed up on the concealed carry scene, it was rock-solid proof of how innovative the concealed carry market was becoming.

As an avid fan and occasional participant of motor sports, I appreciate the fine details and skill needed to build a fast, lightweight and capable machine. Exotic materials like carbon fiber and titanium alloy. As well as engineers willing to push the limits of lightweight designs in order to deliver a winning edge for their […]
Short Barreled Rifles or SBR’s are all the rage. While most people concentrate on the barrel of their SBR build, they often neglect the other end of the rifle.
