Gun review: These two pistols — the Kahr Arms 380 and Guncrafter Glock Conversion in 50 GI — reach both ends of the spectrum.

Morelli puts the new .338 Extreme tactical rifle to the test; it’s a shooter loaded with smart features.

What fits in your kit? Yes there is always lots to carry, but here are some items that will make your life easier or safer.

Tactical Gear: Prosecutors and police detectives delved into the high-tech world of thermal imaging in convicting a Dorchester man of carrying a gun, the first time a Massachusetts jury has found a person guilty based on the technology.

WX150 is a simplified multi-function tactical rail-mounted LED light providing dynamic flexibility without confusing complexity.

Safety alert: Use of substandard lithium batteries in flashlights can lead to fire, explosion or burn hazards.

Price point, exceptional features and easy-to-use controls make for a great package when looking for a scope for your Ar-15.

The improvement I like best for the AR-15 is the flat-top upper. It gives you more options for sighting and makes the rifle more scope-friendly. Plus, you can add quick-on-and-off peeps and front sights.

The X-Rest from Montie Design is lightweight, compact and -- most important -- rock solid. Plus, it breaks down into three pieces for ease of transport in any shooters' bag.
