DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster Review
Posted by: | Comments
The DeSantis Nemesis is a synthetic holster designed to carry a wide range of compact handguns in a pants pocket. Compared to many holsters on the market, the Nemesis is relatively inexpensive option to carry a concealed firearm. During my review, I found the Nemesis to be a quality holster, but with two small problems that I explain below.
I purchased a Nemesis holster to carry my S&W 642 revolver. The 642 is my “everywhere, all-the-time” kind of gun. Light enough to go everywhere, yet still chambered in a respectable caliber (.38 Special).
The Nemesis did a good job of hiding the outline of the revolver in a loose fitting pocket. In a pair of cargo shorts, it would be highly unlikely anyone would notice the gun, much less identify it as such. In a regular pair of jeans, the Desantis holster still did a respectable job, though the naturally closer fitting cut of the jeans made the gun a little more obvious than I would have liked. With a pair of relaxed casual pants like Dockers, the gun was well concealed. Read More→

Extreme Shock Ammunition Introduces Gripwell and Lightwell
Posted by: | Comments
Extreme Shock Ammunition, known for producing the world’s most advanced ammunition, introduces two new products, the Extreme Shock Gripwell and the Extreme Shock Lightwell.
These two products are built for use with an M4 or AR-15 to offer better grip, allow for faster reloads, improve stance for CQB and protect the gun itself.
The Gripwell allows the operator to use the magazine well as a grip and creates a magazine funnel to reduce reload time. It weighs only 110 grams and is independent of the barrel length so it can be interchanged between full length and carbine length weapons. Read More→
LaserLyte Introduces the Laser Trainer Pro
Posted by: | Comments
LaserLyte introduced a new training laser: the LaserLyte Laser Trainer Pro. In a nutshell, this device adjusts to fit the barrels of most handguns. Once inserted into the barrel, the device will flash a laser each time it “hears” the hammer fall.
The idea is you would use this device while dry firing to make sure that you are properly exercising the fundamentals of accurate shooting (especially trigger control) and the bullets would have gone where you thought they would have. If the laser shines someplace different than where you were aiming, then you know something is off, and you can set about correcting your shooting.
In a time when ammo is both scarce and expensive, this little device could be valuable for anyone who practices with dry firing. See the video below for a demonstration of how the Laser Trainer Pro works. Read More→
