Gun Modifications that are worth it
While there are many arguments about which firearm may suit you, one issue that the novice shooters often need to be educated about is that even if you are shopping for a gun that is reliable and a caliber you can handle, everyones hands are different and knowing that a gun grip can be easily customized or modified is something often over looked.
I have picked up various firearms over the years and one thing I have ended up doing was replacing the factory versions of the grips to Hogue or Pachmayr. There are some drawbacks to using fingered groove grips, some complain about hand cramping after long range sessions, but the reality is that you have to try it before you know it feels right. Accuracy is another improvement I see whenever I reccomend people try different pistol grip styles for the same gun. I’ve seen shooters change their opinions about which gun to buy just bases on the grip they were using.
The traditional setup for an AR usually means only mounting optics on the top, like an A3 AR and nothing on the sides. I know there are some variations that still can use a flashlight, but they are not as common. I was at the range putting my new setup to the test and after about 50rds of shooting, that cold hard, somewhat sharp 4 rail setup started to feel rough on my hands. I’ve decided to pick up some Tango Down rail panels to help protect my hands and the rails until I settle on which kind of M4 Carbine setup I’m going to go with. Still shopping for the right flashlight.
Well, I found out the hard way or should I say the sore way. I picked a Midwest 4 rail handguard a few years ago and loved the thing. I didn’t have the need to use all of the rails right off the bat, but I figured I’d atleast put a flashlight on it at some point. Well, I’m not much of the tactical accessory type, but I figured I’d go tactical with the 4 rail forearm. Most of my ARs have the standard forearms and I’m use to holding the rifle in the traditional manner.

The more gear you put on your body the more you’ll worry about placement, and like every other mode of carry, there are different tools for different tasks. Blackhawk gear has some of the top notch products for your needs. You can choose from different levels of retension, too. There are always paddle holsters or something like Fobus that are fairly inexpensive, but our highest recommendations are always the Blackhawk Tactical Holsters.
The argument about which gun is better than the other is like beating a dead horse to most gun enthusiasts, but when talking about gun holsters there seems to be very little argument. Whenever I speak to my friends about the topic of gun holsters, there is a clear and obvious reality that no holster is good for everything. Some holsters look nice and feel nice, but they won’t hold up to adverse weather. Nylon and plastics are options for damp environments, but there can always be drawbacks.

When you get serious about using a firearm you’ll understand the need for a good pair of gloves. Many of us have experience in plinking on a cold winter afternoon or walking around in the woods during hunting season and feeling the need to keep our hands warm. When using gloves that don’t restrict our ability to use a firearm, well, that’s another story.
The world is changing and we are very aware of that at Bianchi International, which is why our product line continues to evolve to keep pace with today’s customer demands. We are continuously researching new materials, developing new designs and entire new product lines to meet these changing needs.
Additionally, holsters with this all-new ergonomic design are completely operable with the thumb making training easy, and the straight up draw makes them very instinctive to use, yet difficult for an assailant’s attempted takeaway. And finally, once the retention devices are released, the weapon can be drawn straight out of the holster with no twisting or other motion required.
