Magazine loaders – handy tools to have in your range bag if you are going to have a range day involving a lot of shooting. Nowadays, we have a metric ton of options on the market, however, many of those that allow you to load all the 30 rounds into the magazine in a single motion, have one drawback: they are bulky. And that is the reason why folks at  Six Axis Development designed The Mag Feeder.

Let the never ending debate continue! The 9mm versus 45ACP shooters can divide along party lines, slinging terms like “stopping power” and “extra magazine capacity” until there is one true victor for all time! Not really, we’ll all be long dead and the pistol cartridge battle will rage on. Until then, Smith & Wesson has dropped their latest M&P 2.0 compact pistol in the best (or worst) caliber imaginable: 45ACP.

Manufacturer SIG Sauer brought along their brand new MCX Rattler ultra compact 5.56mm and .300 Blackout assault rifle/carbine to the 2017 Association of the United States Army annual meeting. The Rattler is an ambitious design intended to bring a reliable extremely short barreled AR-type rifle to the military and civilian market. Historically, designing very short barreled gas operated rifles that function well has been a serious challenge, so the Rattler’s designers had a tall order to fill.
