The Masada Slim is a polymer frame 9mm pistol with double stack 13 round magazines. I consider it a slightly larger subcompact handgun because the barrel length is 3.4” and the grip offers solid three finger contact. Somehow, IWI was able to manage 13 rounds in a very thin or “slim” grip width. Overall, the […]
Is there a danger of catching fire after someone is tased after being pepper sprayed? It’s an odd question, but it came up while covering a recent news article. Turns out, there are a couple of instances in which this question has come to the front. The short answer appears to be, surprisingly, “Yes.” I […]
Everyone loves a lever-action. At least, they should. In recent years, a lot has been made of the prospect of a “tactical” lever action rifle. I always thought it a little silly, as the lever action style of rifle has seen more tactical use than any of us are likely to see in our lifetimes. […]
Rock Island Armory is known for a wide variety of firearms products — most of my friends know them for quality, entry-level 1911s. They’ve now added a new, more premium option for their firearm lineup — the RIA 5.0. And people are losing their ever-loving minds. What is it? The RIA 5.0, which the Armscor […]
Palmetto State Armory’s at it again. The same company that brought us the Rock and Dagger is taking a leap into yesteryear with a replica of the German-made STG-44.

It’s not even a run-of-the-mill range. It’s as bougie as imaginable. He’s nearly sound-proofed it so he doesn’t inconvenience […]
In concealed carry, there’s something of a debate concerning the best holster option: Is it leather? Is it Kydex? Is it some sort of hybrid? Or could it even be one of those gimmick atrocities that emerge from the mist about once a year? While leather once had market supremacy (for lack of any other […]
Let’s be real. “Tactical Pen” is a weird name. Maybe you just got one for Christmas. Maybe you think it could possibly serve you as a self defense tool. Maybe you heard someone make reference to one and wondered What the hell is that? Whatever your reasons, it’s time you learned exactly what the hell […]
Mid-2021 is when our friends at Kimber announced the new Kimber R7 Mako, a 9mm striker-fired handgun in the compact category. Since then, I’ve spent a lot of time with mine both at the range and carrying. I opted for the optics version, because I’m a dot guy now. Before we get started, here are […]
