While shooting the MGM Grand Nationals I used a handmade Center of Mass (COM) kydex holster and mag pouches. The model of holster I tried is both dropped and offset for crazy fast draws. Additionally, the holster is cut extremely low in the front to aid in clearing the gun even faster. Continue reading Center of Mass (COM) Holster Review

Swarovski 1-6×24 Z6i BRT Review
UPDATE – July 2012 – I used the Swaro 1-6×24 Z6i BRT in the 2012 MGM Ironman Multi Gun and placed 14th out of 150 competitors in the tac optics division.
Swarovski has also updated this scope and now calls the current version the “Second Generation.” The changes in the 2nd gen include a slightly streamlined look to the electronics and a new feature that automatically turns the optic off if it’s not in the upright position to save battery (this feature can be turned off). Everything else on the optic remains essentially the same.
Swarovski 1-6×24 Z6i BRT, King of the Multi-Gun Optic Mountain
Since Swarovski introduced the 1-6×24 Z6i every other optics manufacture in the world has been playing catch-up. The Swarovski z6i with BRT reticle is (at the time of this writing) the best 3 gun scope in the world that can be bought for any price. It is also an excellent option for those that hunt dangerous game and need a fast low power variable scope with good eye relief.
JP Glock Magazine Well Review
When I think of Glock magazine wells I don’t think of JP rifles. However, JP Enterprises happens to make one of the best Glock mag wells available. The JP Enterprises Glock Mag Well is precision CNC machined from aluminum and then hard coat anodized. Installation is simple and requires no fitting. Continue reading JP Glock Magazine Well Review
2011 MGM Ironman – The Ultimate Test of Equipment
The MGM Ironman is the biggest and toughest 3 Gun competition in the world. That’s why close to 300 shooters migrate to Parma, Idaho each June for an entire week to shoot the 3 day match. Even though the match directors split the match into two 3 day sections to accommodate more shooters, there was still a waiting list to shoot the Scoped Tactical division.
Due to the high round count and extremely long stages, many shooters view the MGM Ironman as the ultimate test of their equipment. Official round counts were just a few rounds shy of 1000 rounds, and that’s if you shot a perfect match. Many shooters shot twice that amount of ammunition. By my own calculations there was somewhere around a half-million rounds fired at this years Ironman alone. The stages are so long at the Ironman that “timing out” is a Continue reading 2011 MGM Ironman – The Ultimate Test of Equipment
SWSA Glock Dry Fire Kit Review
I recently tried a Glock Dry fire Trigger from Southwest Shooting Authority (SWSA). I have wondered for some time how effective the dry fire trigger is and whether it resembled a real Glock Trigger. I’m happy to report, It does.
I think the trigger is effective and has helped me strengthen my finger and improved my speed on double and triple taps. It’s also really nice not having to rack the slide between pulling the trigger. Transitions have also improved since I no longer have to rack to transition. I think the trigger is worth purchasing and should I lose it would purchase again.
Does the trigger feel exactly like a Glock trigger? Absolutely not. It does, however, feel close. Even close enough that Continue reading SWSA Glock Dry Fire Kit Review
AmeriGlo/Defoor Tactical Glock Sights Review
I recently installed a set of AmeriGlo/Defoor Tactical sights on my Glock 34 and I believe that they are the best upgrade I’ve made to my gun. I shoot the stock Glock sights fine, I shoot the AmeriGlo sights better.
The improvement comes, for me at least, in that the front sight is narrower and the rear sight is slightly wider. I find Continue reading AmeriGlo/Defoor Tactical Glock Sights Review
