By Joe Woolley In today’s article, Joe Woolley reviews the Vortex Razor HD 4000 Rangefinder. This rangefinder appears to be a great balance of price and performance. But, how does it perform? The Vortex Razor HD 4000 reviewed here is owned by the author. I need y’all to fess up (that’s Texan for confess something). How many of you have actually missed a shot at a deer? Not that it was your fault, of course, but you have missed things you REALLY wanted to hit, right? I certainly have, and I learned some big lessons from it. About 10 years…

Learn More Bear canisters are essential when you’re hiking, backpacking, or otherwise traveling on foot through bear country. You might also hear them called bear safes, bear cans, or bear vaults. But those all describe the same piece of gear, serving the same important purpose: keeping your food and snacks out of Yogi’s paws. And the standard bear canister design hasn’t changed much in decades. However, REI’s new Traverse Modular Bear Canister is different. Unlike many bear canisters that are nearly impossible to open without a tool…

Although the use of strikers to ignite primers in handguns isn’t anything new and dates back over a century, they’ve are the de facto ignition system for many contemporary pistols. Strikers in handguns work in a straightforward manner while also being reliable and easier to manufacture. Typically, these mechanisms are paired with polymer frames. Consider the original Glock G17, which became the archetype and set the standard for this format more than four decades ago. An emerging trend that has been on the rise since the early 2020s has been that of incorporating metal frames into striker-fired designs. Several manufacturers…

You cannot imagine what the 1980s were like unless you were there. Once the SAS stormed the London embassy, everyone wanted an MP5—too bad it was a machine gun. Once “Die Hard” became the instant classic it did (and yes, it is a Christmas movie), everyone had to have the Heckler & Koch MP5 semi-automatic variant, the HK94. But the eye-watering prices demanded for them were too much for all but the most dedicated collectors. Well, the ‘80s are gone (along with the hair styles, clothes and headlines) but you can have a semi-auto, MP5-clone pistol, and at a non-eye-watering…

Edgar Sherman Design – Eclipse I ran across the Eclipse from Edgar Sherman Design last week during a visit to Fort Bragg. He pulled it down and from where it was hanging and I immediately knew what it was intended for. Drone operators and SOT-A members use tablets and laptops that emit a lot of light which could lead to disaster in a patrol base or other clandestine hide. The Eclipse contains that light pollution. The Eclipse is made from two layers of Cordura with MultiCam on the outside and Black on the interior. Incorporating an adjustable head harness, nose…
