The market for rail accessories is hotter than ever, KeyMod vs MLok, angled grip vs stubby grip, the battle goes on. What if you could have and angled grip that is made of billet 6061 Aluminum and it can fit both KeyMod and M-Lok rail systems and still be affordable? Too good to be true you say ? The Strike Industries SI Link Curve Fore Grip is such a creation. I was wondering … [Read more...]
I was minding my own business at the range one day when all of a sudden I was transported into a brand new land of shooting sensation. Allow me to tell you about an otherworldly experience that I recently had with the Alien grips by VZ. . I've been reviewing a 1911 for the past several months now.

Even the neat black case looks like something M would slide across his desk toward 007. Having previously reviewed its … [Read more...]
One of my favorite pocket knives, and one that has served me the longest, is my Emerson CQC-7AW. The 154CM steel hones to a fine v-grind edge on the drop point blade. The G10 scales cover titanium liners to make a strong, yet ergonomic, grip. Emerson's signature "wave" opening mechanism is the fastest unassisted deploy I've yet found in a folder. And the Emerson … [Read more...]
