KelTec came out with KSG, an innovative double-tube bullpup pump shotgun a few years ago. I got a chance to shoot the single-tube KS7 model during a video review two years ago. It was very easy to maneuver and point due to its compact size but it’s light weight and polymer construction really transferred the recoil energy, making even birdshot feel like shooting slug.
In reaction to the desire for a lighter shooting defensive shotgun, KelTec developed a KSG chambered in the svelt .410 shell originally designed by Elley in the late 1800’s for backyard pest control, birding, and self-defense (in cane guns!). These shells are the size of chapstick tubes but shoot slugs bigger than a 9mm bullet. While shooting with the same recoil as a Sub-2000.
While small compared to a 12 ga. shell, .410 shells are still quite formidable at close range where the KSG excels. It’s not then surprising that KelTec (always the iconoclast), chose to chamber their next KSG variant in .410 instead of a 20 ga. This new pump shotty is due to hit retailers later in Q3 2023.

Konus is an Italian optics company based in Verona. I had an opportunity to visit their booth at SHOT Show earlier this year and examine their wide range of hunting and target scopes. Konus sent me their Absolute scope to test and I was surprised at its wide range of magnification going from 5x-40x. Prior to this the highest power scope I I have tested was the Leupold Mark 5 with a 7x-35x; the Konus exceeds the Leupold in both the low and high magnification, and at half the price.
The Absolute has a traditional profile, with a 30mm tube and tactical style exposed turrets. The scope tested has a half-MIL crosshair reticle that is illuminated in both red and blue light with brightness ranging from 1-5. It is powered by a CR2032 coin battery co-housed in the side parallax focus knob. The scope can focus as close as 10 yrds, which is much appreciated feature for airgun shooters and NRL22 competitors.
The elevation and windage turrets are traditionally sized turrets unlike the over-sized monster knobs that have become popular recently among ELR competitors. The Kronus turrets are push-to-lock and are zero resettable by loosening three set-screws around each turret. The scope tested was the MILRAD version and they offer an MOA as well.
The turrets turn 1/10 MILs per click and are nicely loud and audible. They provide good tactile feedback per click but aren’t the most positive turrets I’ve felt. Oddly the elevation turret provides 7.2 MILs per rotation rather than whole number? I suspect that Konus originally designed this scope for MOA and swapped out a MIL conversion turret, which is why the turret has 7.2 rather than 7.0 MILs per rotation.
I found the turrets to be accurate and repeatable. Overall sharpness was good from center to edge. At 40x the scope able to resolve twice as much detail as a typical 24x scope but with a much less forgiving eyebox (as to be expected by the reduced exit pupal at 40x). The image at 40x was clear enough to make out wrinkles on the target paper at 100 yrds.
The Konus Absolute is a 40x scope with the extra magnification not found in many scope brands. I don’t think this scope will appeal to ELR shooters who prefer first focal plane scopes with Christmas-tree reticles. But for long distance airgun competition, precision target shooters, long-range hunters, or older shooters with weaker eyes, this is a scope to consider.
Konus Absolute is available through this Affiliate Link Optics Planet:https://alnk.to/2Qu5Igb

At SHOT Show 2023, Leapers debuted their newest line of rifle optics: Accushot Pro. I wasn’t even aware of this new brand until I visited my buddy Kiyo at Leapers huge booth at the show. This new brand is positioned in in between their budget tier UTG scopes (sub $250) and their premium Integrix line (over $1000).
The Accushot scopes have many of the external design features of their Integrix scopes but with a few changes to lower the cost. These scopes will use Chinese HD glass and their turret design is similar to a beefed up UTG turret. They are expected to launch with an LPVO and a 3-12×44 model in later Q3 with an MSRP of around $500.
I love USB-C for so many reasons like the higher charging speeds, the higher data rates, and especially because you can’t insert it upside down. Can I get an Amen?! But what I don’t like is that all the newest phones with USB-C have gotten rid of their 3.5mm audio ports.
I get it, they want to save money. They figure we’re all going to BlueTooth earbuds (and I do love wireless connections to listening to audio). But for those of us who vlog or take video with an external mic are kind of screwed.
I bought a Samsung USB-C DAC (Digital Audio Converter) dongle which adds a 3.5mm audio port to your phone. Unfortunately this takes up my one and only USB-C port on the phone, which means I can’t charge while I’ve plugged in a mic. Worse, the quality of the recorded audio sounds digitized in low-fi with audio artifacts and drop-off.
I looked on Amazon for a DAC with a power port and found this Stouchi. While I didn’t like the dongle format (preferring a design that docks to the bottom of the phone), this adapter had a better rating that did claim to have a retain a full data rate.
In the video you can hear the different audio from the phone’s built-in mic, the Samsung DAC, and the Stouchi DAC. The Stouchi had the best audio quality in terms of overall sound level and quality. It also allowed me to charge the phone with an external battery power bank while recording. I’m looking forward to using this to record much better audio at next years Shot Show.

At SHOT Show 2023 I visited the Monstrum Tactical booth where they introduced me to a green prototype of their new Tracer EDC EDC flashlight. Monstrum told that this new rechargeable flashlight and laster had a max output of 1000 lumens and included a green laser pointer. A few weeks later the Tracer was released and Monstrum sent me a sample to test and evaluate.
The Tracer is an all metal, flat rectangular box that weighs slightly less than 3oz and is 4.5″ long, 1″ wide, and a half-inch thick. The far end from the LED emitter (base) has embedded Neodymium magnets which allow the light to self-mount on metal surfaces. The unit includes a pre-installed clasping clip.
The controls are two flat rubber pads which control the flashlight and laser respectively. A small silicone rubber flap on the side of the unit protects a USB-C charging port. The Tracer is IPX6 rated and it survived a high-pressure water hose spray.
Testing the unit in my DIY Lumen Testing Rig, I recorded an approximate value of 1300 lumens at its highest output mode, higher than the 1000 lumen max number Monstrum advertises. In a battery Runtime tests, the unit lasted the 30 minutes (± 0.75 minutes) at maximum brightness; at which time the unit was uncomfortably too hot to hold.
In many ways the Tracer exceeded expectations. But where it falls short is in its lack of a brightness-output mode-memory. The Tracer always activates at max brightness (1000LM) which is potentially blinding if you turn it on while looking in a small dark space; such as under a car seat.
Furthermore, the green laser and the flashlight can not be activated at the same time; activating one turns off the other. While this is not an issue when using the Tracer as a business presentation pointer, but if you’re in a out in the woods walking a fence and want to use the laser to use the laser to identify one tree from among a forest, you’re out of luck.
One question comes to mind: is the Tracer a copy of the Arkfeld. My first impression of the Tracer was that it looked suspiciously like an OLight Arkfeld, which is also a 1000LM rechargeable light. Is this a copy of the OLight or an EOM factory custom variant? It doesn’t really matter, the Tracer feels and performs like a solid EDC light. The primary difference is that the controls of the Tracer are digital pressure pads and the USB-C charging port which I find more practical than the custom magnetic cables used by OLight.
Fenix is best known for making affordable EDC tac-lights, used by LEOs and EMTs. At SHOT Show, I visited the Fenix booth and got a walk-through of their newest products. They sent me their new GL19R to test and evaluate. This is an update to their GL19 featuring a user-replaceable CR186350 lithium battery that can be recharged internally through a USB-C port in the side of the GL19R.
The unit itself has a matte black anodized finish and a solid all-metal body. The unit comes with a Glock-sized recoil lug pre-installed and an optional Picatinny 1913 recoil lug. The GL19 controls are ambidextrous pressure paddles/pads on either side of the rear of the unit.
The GL19 has a “Turbo” mode and a lower power “High” mode which is a bit of marketing spin since they are effectively identical to a “High” and “Normal” mode on any other light. Fenix’s stats claim the GL19R outputs 1200 lumens in Turbo; in my testing a recorded 1840 lumens. It’s rare to find a Chinese flashlight maker whose lumen numbers are overly inflated and even rarer to find one whose products actually perform better than their stated claims. This bodes positively to the performance of Fenix’s other products.
The GL19R is IPX 68 with the 8 in that rating denoting that the unit can survive immersion in up to 3m of water. I tested the unit’s run time while submerged in a pitcher of water. In Turbo mode the unit stayed on for approximately 35 minutes before shutting off. The unit survived the test without any observable moisture entering.
Overall I was pleased with the GL19 which performed as well as higher-end lights from Surefire and Streamlight and costs slightly less O-Light (the budget flashlight king). I would have preferred slightly more resistant controls requiring more pressure to activate. What may be a deal-breaker is that the GL19 has a strobe mode that can not be disabled. Fortunately, the strobe is not easily activated, requiring the user to first activate the unit, and is a ‘Momentary’ mode. I suggested to Fenix that they could fix this issue by incorporating a lock-out mode with some sort of ‘easter-egg’ style key combination (ie. holding down both activation buttons for 20 seconds).
