Fyland sent this pistol accessory adapter to review. I tried it out on my 22LR converted Glock 17 and it worked perfectly to allow me to attach a holographic red dot for bullseye precession. And it less than $20, it’s a no-brainer to pick one up if you want to add an optic to a semi-auto pistol with a rail that isn’t pre-drilled for a micro-red dot.

Aegis200 Bodycam
My Geko Gear (yes, that’s the company name) sent me their most popular security bodycam to review. Unlike my previous bodycam reviews, this unit is professional grade equipment. It’s rugged and waterproof (to rain and sweat); just don’t make my mistake and shoot it with a high-pressure water hose.
I misread the IP65 rating and got moisture jetted into the unit which fogged it up. I had to wait a day while I dried it out before I could film my conclusion video. You can see some residual fogging in the nigh-time video samples.
Overall it has excellent image resolution for a camera in the bodycam category. It won’t compete with the current crop of GoPro, Osmo or current generation smart-phones in terms of video quality but it is as good or better than bodycams and dashcams in the +$200-$400 category. My Geko Gear also makes dashcams from which, I presume, their bodycams base their technology.
While my personal use for a pro-grade bodycam is limited (I don’t work in Security or Property Management), I will likely use this as on the gun range where it’s +13 hours of battery life is perfect for a down-range target camera.
Eley Target vs Fed Range
Brit vs Merica
I compare Eley Target groups versus Federal Range Pack “blue box” 22LR in my nothing-fancy stock Ruger 10/22 takedown at 50yrds. Ammo variety is pretty slim at all of my local stores. This ammo was donated by my buddies who wanted to see how their ammo shot in my videos.
Match vs. Plinking at 100yrds
Eley Edge 22LR vs Aguila Super Extra HV at 100yrds. We know that expensive match-grade ammo shoots better than cheap bulk pack ammo at 50yrds. But does that difference still apply at 100yrds? I compare the performance of both ammo in a typical factory stock Ruger 10/22 takedown. Special thanks to Harry S.

Wild (turkey) visit to the range
An unexpected visitor was spotted at the Santa Clara Field Sports Park rifle range. The bird was unfazed by the gun fire around it. Wild game is not allowed to be hunted on county park land that surrounds the range. Wild turkey and hogs have grown accustomed to grazing unmolested around the rifle and pistol range and have gotten so bold as to walk onto the range itself.
Bazic Correction Fluid: Better than Liquid Paper or WhiteOut
Bazic Correction Fluid. No this is not an April Fools prank, that is the actual brand name. Despite the Dad Joke pun, this office supply has all the best features found in Name Brand corrections fluids and does so for half the price. We don’t often need correction fluid anymore because we have cheap color inkjet and laser printers. But it’s surprising how handy an unopened bottle is when you do.

BOG Deathgrip and Great Divide
The BOG Deathgrip Ultralight tripod adapter and the BOG Great Divide turns a photo tripod into a rifle tripod-mount for hunting or long-range shooting. The Deathgrip worked well as intended but the Great Divide wasn’t able to hold my rifle level despite tightening it down as best I could.

Range Testing the MoTac Recoil Pad
I follow-up on my review of the Missouri Tactical Sub2000 Gen2 Recoil Pad. I take it to the range to test its ability to reduce felt recoil on the KelTec Sub2000. I recruit two random testers at the range, a Range Safety Officer, and an AK shooter.

Wireless Presentation Clicker
This is a handy little presentation clicker with an emphasis on tiny. About the size of a whiteboard marker, this has a next and previous slide button, a laser pointer, volume control, and is AAA battery powered. It also comes with a USB-A (that’s the big flat standard USB-A connection) and the newer USB-C connected dongle that fits inside the clicker. Attach the USB dongle to your computer and the clicker connects wireless via Bluetooth as a pseudo-keyboard.
