Things That Don’t Suck: Shield Arms S-15 Magazines for GLOCK Pistols

Obscure Object of Desire: Astra 600 9mm Pistol
At least in my experience, the modern gun show sucks. Huge letdown. It's full of striker-fired polymer-frame pistols, AR-15s, Wish-quality optics, and everything wears an extreme markup. Don't forget the cheap Chinese knives, the...
Things That Don’t Suck: Gatorz MILSPEC Ballistic Delta Glasses
