      Compact and subcompact pistols make everyday carry easy and comfortable, but their short barrels, usually 3 to 4 inches in length, mean that ammo choice matters a lot.

      If you have ever swapped barrels on your AR-15, grabbed a pistol caliber carbine, or compared notes with a buddy at the shooting range, you have probably noticed that the same box of ammo can feel and perform differently depending on the firearm. This is because barrel length can play a huge role in how […]

      Picture this: It’s the middle of the night, you wake up to a strange noise from inside your house, and your mind begins to race to protect your family. In that split-second decision, does an AR-15 platform chambered in .300 Blackout or 5.56 NATO give you the edge in the moment? Both rounds have become […]

      The .30-06 Springfield has been a staple in the hunters’ rifle for over a century now, and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. This classic cartridge has powered U.S. troops through two world wars and has dropped countless big game animals all across North America. Today, with flashy new options like the […]

      Trying to determine the best cartridge to use for hunting or target shooting is tough because when it comes to caliber selection, there are so many options that it’s hard to say one is always better than another. It often comes down to the shooter’s preferences and the specific scenario of the hunt. The .308 […]

      1911 versus Paul and the Pistol Hero Image

      One of the most longstanding debates in shooting circles is the comparison between 1911s and modern polymer-framed pistols. For the sake of narrowing down the different aspects to debate, we’ll be referring to the historic .45 ACP 1911 setup, but there are other variants like the 9mm and 10mm (my favorite). Both types of firearm […]

      Recently, a buddy and I decided to go on a walk in the woods to stretch our legs. However, with multiple small game hunting seasons open, we each wanted to bring a gun that would work well on just about anything legal.  Not knowing what we would encounter and without talking to each other, we […]

      Category: Ammo

      If you have ever scrolled through ammo listings and spotted those classic green spam cans, metal ammo cans, or bulk crates of military surplus rounds, you are probably already a bit familiar with their appeal. They are often priced way lower than new production ammo, and the nostalgia factor of surplus ammo is real. The […]
