By Jeff Gurwitch March 25, 2019 Every once in a while, I come across a really unique item that I absolutely must get my hands on to try. This was the case with the Alpha Tarac flip-up optical accessory by TACOMHQ, a flip up lens that doubles your red dot’s point of impact. Say you run a 300-yard point of …

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com February 4, 2019 Last updated on 2/04/19. DefenseReview (DR) saw some nice things at SHOT Show 2019, but some things interested, intrigued and delighted us more than others.

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com January 31, 2019 While DefenseReview (DR) liked the new G43X (Glock 43X) pistol, DR loved the G48 (Glock 48), since the G48 is essentially a slimline, single-stack G19 (Glock 19), which is currently our favorite all-around 9mm pistol, including our favorite concealed carry (CCW) pistol. The G19 may very well be the …
