Gunslick Universal Roll-Up Cleaning Kit Review

When it comes to gun cleaning kits, there are quite a number of options out there for many to choose from.  Whether you are after a single gun kit or universal kit, there are plenty to choose from at various prices to fit your budget.  However, not many universal kits are what I would consider well…universal.  In addition, some kits just don’t offer much and can be cumbersome to use.  That’s where the Gunslick Universal Roll-Up Kit comes in.  This kit not only contains a decent amount of accessories to support a wide range or guns and even shotguns, but is highly unique in the sense of having a built-in cleaning pad for ultimate comfort and convenience.  Let’s have a detailed look…

What sets this kit apart from the rest is that it simply doesn’t come in a standard box.  Instead, it comes in a very clever roll-up pad with everything you need inside.

Hi Visibility Targets – What’s Your Favorite?

If you’re like me, you like to use high visibility targets when heading to range.  They are a great addition to a standard paper silhouette target and will not only keep you from bringing that target back and forth after every loaded magazine, but will enhance your overall shooting experience and eliminate the need for some kind of spotting scope.  While some may use or be familiar with only one kind, there are actually a few options out there and some are better than others.  In this short article, I’ll show you two of my personal favorites.

Many are familiar with the standard black/yellow “shoot-n-c” targets.  This is mainly because they are typically the ones you’ll find at your local range and on most shops.  However, while these work well, there are other alternatives out there.  Two of these are actually much better in comparison.

New Taurus Protector Polymer Revolver

I’m not a a fan of revolvers and have never owned one.  However, if I was to consider one, it would not only be one from Taurus, but would be this new sweet piece from their 2010 lineup!

While on the heavy side, this new .38 special revolver is just simply eye candy.  More info on this this revolver can be found on their Official Website or on this page of their new 2010 catalog.

American Eagle Adds Affordable Rifle and Handgun Ammunition Options

I’m a fan of all Federal Ammunition.  They are not only of the highest quality, but have yet to fail me once.  Their American Eagle rounds are among the very best you can purchase for range shooting.  Fortunately, they have expanded this line of affordable, quality ammunition.

From one of the most trusted names in ammunition comes good quality loads designed for target practice. These rifle and handgun additions are best-suited for honing skills in an affordable manner.

Kahr P380 Pistol Available in All Black

I’m not a fan of Kahr pistols either.  Respectfully though, they are indeed one of the very few offering the smallest pistols on the market.  Their .380 (P380) is no exception.  If you don’t mind the added weight and don’t mind spending double what you would pay for a similar or even better pistol, then these may suit you well.  Their .380 is indeed quite small in terms of its dimensions.  However, when you factor in weight, it is in a class of its own when compared to other options.

I’ve seen this pistol with its typical stainless slide but they now have apparently released an all-black model for ultimate concealment.  I think it looks better too.  Kahr pistols are just too damn expensive and honestly not worth it.  At $690/$799 respectably, this new model is just absurdly overpriced and while impressive in design, save your money and consider other options featured on this site.

PEARL RIVER, NY –-(AmmoLand.com)- The most accurate mini on the market, the Kahr P380, is now available in a Black-Out version for a sleek, subtle concealed carry option.

The new KP3834 has a black polymer frame, just like its P380 match, but features a matte blackened stainless slide for a completely different look. The slide is blackened using an ultra hard and super thin coating that has been used successfully in the knife industry to protect blades from corrosion and scratches. So, not only does the blackened slide offer a new unique and attractive profile, but it also provides a tougher coat and protection for your slide.

This helps you keep your Kahr looking just as good as the day you bought it, even after some wear and tear.

The all black KP3834 maintains the same measurements as the original P380. It has an overall length of 4.9” and a height of 3.9.” It features a 2.5” premium Lothar Walther match grade barrel. The weight of the new all black 380 is 9.97 oz without the magazine.

Man Tries Out Baseball Bat By Smashing 29 TVs in Walmart

This is quite amusing to say the least.  A reminder that there are plenty of crazy people out their losing their minds.  What’s more amusing though is that everyone seems to gather and watch and do absolutely nothing to stop it or subdue this idiot, including what appears to be some undercover cop.
