Things That Don’t Suck: Magpul Bipods
When Magpul first released the aptly named Magpul Bipod in mid-2018, I didn't get the appeal. It appeared to be effectively all-polymer, and I tend to lean into my bipods and load them up...
Things That Don’t Suck: Armageddon Gear Ultralight Shooting Mat and Waxed Canvas Optimized Game...
As seems to be routine, I have another confession to make before beginning my review. The box sent to me by Armageddon Gear with their Ultralight Shooting Mat and Waxed Canvas Optimized Game Changer...
Things That Don’t Suck: Sandrin TCK Knife

Things That Don’t Suck: Alien Gear Grip Tuck Universal IWB Holster
I'm not a fan of one-size-fits-many holsters. They're frequently not well made and don't provide the retention levels you need for safe, effective carry.

Things That Don’t Suck: SOG Flash AT Knife
I've owned a lot of knives over the years. One of the first ones I bought was the small, light, handy and pocketable SOG Flash. I carried it for a couple of years before,...
Things That Don’t Suck: Luminox 3051 Navy SEAL Watch
I'm not a Navy SEAL and chances are you aren't one either. Maybe you own a SIG P226 MK25 because that is (was) the SEALs' pistol. If the SEAL seal of approval is your...
Things That Don’t Suck: Trader Keith’s Rifle Strap, Culling Belt and Cartridge Slide
It was about a year-and-a-half ago at a dinner with Craig Boddington and two other friends that I first heard about Trader Keith products. Craig had apparently used them for years, evidenced by the...
Things That Don’t Suck: Apex Tactical’s Action Enhancement Trigger for the Springfield Hellcat
We were impressed by the Springfield Hellcat (see our review here). It's a serious -- and seriously popular -- competitor to the SIG P365 in the "high" capacity micro-compact carry gun market segment (a...
