Recently the BlueSheepDog Crew received a VooDoo Tactical Enhanced 42" double rifle bag to test and evaluate from TopSpecUS, an authorized VooDoo Tactical Dealer. As a sniper, and patrol supervisor, I'm always interested in a carrying case that can better serve my complex needs. I've seen a lot of rifle bags in my 18 years of law enforcement, and most have simply been a duffel … [Read more...]

New Kahr Arms CT Series Pistols

Dan Coonan is not new to firearms designs, and has already produced some … [Read more...]
Glock Modular Optic System (MOS)
Though so many Glock fans were looking for the announcement of the Glock single-stack compact 9mm pistol, Glock did not feed that hunger at SHOT Show this year. I'm beginning to think that Glock won't produce what the market demands, simply so they can maintain some kind of twisted belief that they are in charge of the market. Instead they promoted their new Modular Optic … [Read more...]
