Over-the-barrel suppressors have the advantage of maintaining an adequate volume for maximum sound reduction while still keeping a rifle/suppressor package at a reasonable overall length for situations where size is an issue, such as backcountry hunting.

The Dead Air Nomad Ti OTB’s over-the-barrel design (bottom) gives the suppressor/rifle combination a shorter overall length when compared to a conventional suppressor of similar volume (Nomad LTi XC pictured at top). Placing part of the Nomad Ti OTB’s blast chamber around the barrel, instead…

The cool part about shooting with mounted red-dot sights on handguns is that, once shooters get used to them, they turn into major performance boosters. It boils down to the fact that using a single  “aiming reference” (the dot itself versus a front and rear sight), to shoot aids both with speed and precision in pistol shooting. And to properly leverage the power of the dot, shooters must use target-focus. Unfortunately, both new and experienced shooters alike are oftentimes prone to getting “lost looking through their dots” instead of focusing on their targets. This common phenomenon basically amounts to a…
