A few months ago SHWAT Prostaffer Jared Hilton tagged me in a Facebook post. He didn’t know it at the time, but that action would later cause a chain of events to occur that lead to 118 hogs down in two nights. The post I clicked on took me to a video about the...
Accuracy and Audacity: The Retro Tactical Swiss K31 Review

Ask Not… Two Compelling Minutes from Silencerco
This entry won't win Google's attention. It's not specifically sponsored. It is, however, worth more than the minute and fifty-nine seconds it will take you to watch it. I watched this around the fourth of July and given its message I hope it gets watched through...
