Good evening everyone, As we get ready for SHOT Show 2023, we’re lifting the curtain on a slew of new Magpul products scheduled for release during the first 90-120 days of 2023 (mostly!). As a reminder, our new product lineup is featured in Booth 11660 if you’re going to be in Vegas for the show next week. Today’s big news is the unveiling (and releasing!) of a new organization and storage solution for your rifle case. It’s a completely new system that allows you to customize and upgrade traditional gun cases in a way that changes with your loadout, is…
The 9mm market is way overcrowded. With the exceptional choices for ammo in the caliber, it isn’t any wonder that manufacturers are spending so much energy on 9mms—but much of the current investment is focused on the subcompact EDC carry gun. The Arex Delta 9mm, or perhaps we should say Arex Defense writ large, is different. They’re taking on a class of guns that has been pretty stable for the last 30 years – we’ll try to explain why they’re doing so well with this Arex Delta Gen 2 review. Arriving at the range to do an Arex Delta Gen 2 review –…
Sometimes a capability or technology comes along that seems like it should be easy to explain, but really isn’t — at least not without providing an in-person, first-person experience. That’s the case with Revision Military’s new “I-Vis” technology for shooting glasses. I-Vis glasses might look like just the latest tactical sunglasses du jour (as worn by Todd 3465 on TV!) but there’s a lot of high-tech stuff going on in those lenses. It’s a lens technology that provides significantly increased contrast without losing detail. That’s a much bigger deal than you might think. Higher contrast with detail retention is something that even the higher…
Compensating reticles on scopes are nothing new. It’s not uncommon to find optics companies referring to them in a variety of ways. For example, Leupold offers their Boone & Crockett reticle, Burris goes by Ballistic-Plex and Crimson Trace has the Custom BDC Pro, while others define their system in different terms. However you slice it, hashmarks provide hunters with a means of holdover for shooting at extended range. If your hunting conditions do not allow for extended-range shooting, you probably don’t need any holdover reticle system. If I’m hunting in the woods with a .44 Magnum revolver and my farthest possible shot is inside…
This unusual truck is described by its creator as a “Tactical Assault Concept Vehicle,” it was built in Hawaii on the chassis of a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Duramax dually and it now has an all-new steel body and four gullwing doors. The seller notes that it can be made road legal in most states as it has DOT rated military tires, DOT rated headlights and tail lights, and it’s within the legal width – however this would need to be independently verified for your own state. Fast Facts – A Tactical Assault Concept Vehicle This unusual post-apocalyptic vehicle was built in Hawaii…

Our Build of the Week this week comes from Lisa Supon. This AR was designed and built specifically to shoot 3-Gun. Lisa needed a lightweight, quality rifle, and when she began shopping she found that everything prebuilt on the market that fit the bill was prohibitively expensive – so she decided to build her own rifle to her own liking. Between the weight, the quality, and the blue accents Lisa’s build is a 3-Gun worthy rifle with a lot of good pieces worth talking about. Getting into 3-Gun If you’ve never been involved in the shooting sports, be forewarned that…
Availability of a good full-auto BB gun is nothing new. They’ve been done before and they’re wicked cool. However, something better may have just come along: the Barra Air Guns 400E.

The 400e looks great out of the box but is still highly adaptable for you to customize and make it your own.” -Barra Airguns Electric guns are just easier compared to CO2 guns.
