Where do I even start with the Hekate silencer review? It's taken longer to get done that I expected, in part because CGS silencers are unlike pretty much everything else out there. The discovery phase required learning some brand new things - well, new to me and a...
Still Worth It? A 2020 Silencerco Sparrow Review
It’s 2020, twelve years since the first Silencerco Sparrow reviews accompanied the launch of this .22LR suppressor. Not coincidentally, the Sparrow is the first can Silencerco launched, the beginning of the suppressor industry juggernaut from Utah. Countless .22...

The Silencerco Omega – Should My First Silencer Be Yours, Too?
It’s summer, 2019, and as I mount my SilencerCo Omega I wonder to my self, “If you don’t have a silencer yet, I have to ask, what are you waiting for?” Seriously, buying a can has never been easier. Sure, we still have to deal with the NFA’s regulatory hoops, but...
Sound Decision Making: My Two Silencers for a Dozen Guns

Banshee vs. Custom Build? Which 300BLK AR Pistol Would You Pick? Video!
Personally, I think the CMMG Banshee AR Pistol design is genius. Why? Because it copies a design I used to build my own 300 Blackout AR pistol a year or so ago! The question is, did they improve on what I’m already pretty happy with? The truth is I’m not alone in my...
NOT an AR! Deep Dive into the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus – Part 1: SBR
When Sig Sauer introduced its MCX it was mostly a rifle caliber MPX to me, anything but earth shattering. After testing hundreds of AR’s, getting excited about anything AR is difficult. Having tested a bunch of Sig Sauer firearms, they always seem well thought out and...
From Skeptic to Convert – ZRODelta Cowl Induction Brake Real World Testing and Results
Anyone remotely acquainted with my philosophy when it comes to muzzle brakes knows how much I dislike them. Disdain would be the most common term used, although that remains understated. Most of my shooting career has revolved around duty as a Law Enforcement...
Cyclic Rate of Fire, what is it, and why is it part of the Bump Stock Ban?
A friend with an AR asked me a question yesterday. Like most gun owners she knows how to use them, but no gun background to speak of. She wanted to know what can increase rate of fire in an AR, and why is banning bump fire stocks such a problem? Politics aside, there...
