Whether for a truck gun or for a backpacking scrounger, the Nomad line of folding shotguns imported from Turkey by American Tactical are a hoot.

They’re widely available at many online retailers, and you can learn more at AmericanTactical.us.
Agent Gloves 2.0 Elite
Agent Gloves 2.0 Elite
MSRP: $32.99
Finding gloves that keep you warm while still letting you live your life can be a challenge, but these units from 221B Tactical walk as fine a line as any. These certainly aren’t patrol gloves — they’re multi-layer thermals — but they’re thinner and allow for more dexterity than comparably warm gloves.
They are exceptionally water-resistant, textured on the fingers and palm for an excellent grip, and available in sizes XS through XXXL.

Hogue G10 Bantam Grips
MSRP: $59.95
One of the benefits of a J-, K- or N-frame Smith & Wesson revolver is that you can easily modify the grip panels for optimized comfort. These scales from Hogue, shown here in “Red Lava,” deepen and slightly thicken the grip surface, providing greater comfort — especially in the area surrounding the trigger guard.
Like all Hogue grips, they are available at your local gun shop and at HogueInc.com.
