3 Firearm Drills You Can Do at Home

Image
Sometimes you just can’t get out to the range, but you still want to set aside some time to improve your firearm skills. Whether your go-to rifle is a Block 2 M4 or something else, there are a few dry-fire exercises that will improve your skills and make a difference the next time you hit the range. From practicing reloading to target acquisition, here are a few to consider. Reloading One of the easiest skills you can practice at home is reloading. You can even do it on carpet, letting you freely drop mags without fear of damaging them. If you have an AR-platform gun like a 9MM PCC with ambidextrous controls, you can practice reloading from both strong and off hands. Drop the mag, grab a new one, and slam it home. Even if your reloads are already fluid and quick, it doesn’t hurt to practice, so try this drill whenever you have a few moments to spare. Just make sure the magazines are 100% empty. Dry Firing If you’re already practicing reloading your M4 carbine , you ...

3 Questions to Ask When Deciding on Your Next Firearm

Image
So, you’re ready to add a new gun to your collection. The question is, what kind of gun do you want? You might have your sights set on a specific make and model. On the other hand, you might not have yet settled on anything and simply have the urge for a new firearm. Deciding on your next firearm can be challenging. If you spend a lot of time at the gun range, a 9MM PCC might be the right fit. If you’re an avid hunter, a new AR10 may be the way to go. Here are a few questions to mull over as you make your decision. 9MM PCC Are You Looking to Change Things Up? Are you looking for a shooting experience not currently represented in your gun safe? Take a 9MM PCC, for example. This type of gun can come in different configurations, like “pistol” (compact with a shorter barrel) and “rifle” (larger with a longer barrel). If you’re looking to change things up, consider a type of gun you don’t have. It might be something that bridges the gap, like a 9MM PCC. Or it might be a cali...

How You Can Hone Your Skills with an AR15 Rifle

Image
Do you want to take your proficiency with an AR15 rifle to the next level? When you want to be more adept at handling an AR15, like an M4 carbine , it can come down to a few straightforward factors. Whether you’re new to this type of firearm or you have a couple in your gun safe, there’s always room for improvement. The idea of “practice, practice, practice,” very much applies here. Here are a few things to know. Spend More Time at the Range We’re right back to “practice, practice, practice.” What better place to practice than at the range? Spending a couple of hours at the range every weekend, or when you have time available, can easily dial up your skills. However, if you want to fine-tune your skills even further, spend time at a range that offers a more dynamic experience, like video recording and analysis technology that allows you to replay your session so you can see where you’re improving and what may still need work. Disassemble and Reassemble Your AR Honing yo...

3 Ways to Modify Range Drills

Image
Are your drills at the range starting to feel too easy? Have you gotten used to shooting your Block 2 M4 and want to increase the intensity of your drills to make you a better overall shooter? Whether you’re competing soon or just trying to improve your skills, there are a few ways you can modify your drills to make them more challenging. Add In Reloads Instead of using a full mag and finishing the drill, you want to introduce interruptions. The easiest way to do that is to add in reloads. Purposefully load in only a couple of rounds to force yourself to reload. This also helps train your muscle memory so you can reload faster. Many drills focus on these reloads, but introducing them to other drills with a new focus can force you to adapt. If you really want to add a challenge, have someone else load the rounds, so you won’t know how many rounds are in the mag before you need to reload. PCC 9MM Use Your Off-Hand Many newer firearms come standard with ambidextrous contro...

3 Features to Look for In Your Next Rifle

Image
Are you looking to add a new MK12 rifle or other firearm to your gun safe? Whether this will be your go-to range rifle or you just want to try something different, there are a few features worth looking for. From cold hammer forged barrels to free-floating handguards, these features can set a gun apart, resulting in enhanced accuracy and handling. Here are three features to consider. Free-Floating Handguard Handguards that touch the barrel can affect its harmonics, decreasing accuracy. Meanwhile, a free-floating barrel doesn’t touch the barrel, only connecting to the upper receiver. This preserves the barrel’s natural harmonics, improving overall accuracy. You still get space for accessories, but can enjoy a more premium shooting experience. Cold Hammer Forged Barrel Cold hammer forged barrels can be more time-consuming for a manufacturer to create, but the results are worth it, and this feature is a sign of a truly premium firearm. Whether it’s a rifle or a striker fi...
