Speed matters when you’re carrying a defensive revolver, but speed without control is just noise. The right holster should ride quiet, draw clean, and lock the pistol back in place with zero drama. Leather done right has a way of disappearing under a cover garment while still giving you a confident, repeatable grip.

GALCO COMBAT MASTER is built for that exact balance: a swift, open-top draw with serious, hand-molded retention that keeps your wheelgun where it belongs until it’s time to work.

Why this holster earns a spot on the belt

Galco’s reputation is forged in saddle leather and hard miles. Here, you’re getting saddle leather with double-stitched seams and the kind of hand-molded fit you normally see from custom shops. That molding is the secret sauce: it creates real friction retention without a thumb break, so your draw stays fast and your reholster is positive. The open-top design is purpose-built for a smooth, unimpeded presentation—no snaps to fight, no wasted motion.

Equally important, the butt-forward cant tucks the grip in toward the body. That’s how you conceal a serious revolver under a simple cover garment. The cant aligns your wrist, minimizing the angle change between holster and shooting grip. The result is a draw that feels natural and repeatable—exactly what you want when your mind is already solving bigger problems.

Carry profile and comfort

This is a strong-side, belt-mounted rig with an open muzzle and a stable footprint. It rides securely on belts up to 1.75″, which is the sweet spot for duty-grade stiffness and everyday wear. The open muzzle keeps length flexible and improves drainage and debris clearance. Leather edges are smooth and the body side is comfortable, which matters when you’re riding in a vehicle or moving all day. A good holster should disappear until you need it; this one does.

Compatibility that actually covers real-world revolvers

The fit list reads like a greatest hits of concealed-carry wheelguns. If you run a compact or snub, there’s a good chance you’re covered:

• Colt Agent, Cobra (pre-2017 and 2017), and Detective Special 2″
• Kimber K6s
• Ruger SP101, including spurless-hammer 2.25″
• Taurus 327, 605, and 94 with 2″ barrels

That spread spans classic six-shooters and modern carry revolvers built for defensive work. The hand-molded leather gives each model a secure, confident lock-up. You’ll feel the “click” as the cylinder and frame settle into place—firm enough to retain under brisk movement, clean enough to draw without snagging.

Open-top speed with real retention

Open-top holsters only work if the molding is dialed. Here, the molding tracks the cylinder, trigger guard, and frame flats, which provides passive retention in all the right places. The draw stroke is straight-line: clear the leather, rotate toward the target, sights up. There’s no strap to defeat. For defensive use—especially at conversational distances—this is how you win time without sacrificing control.

Concealment built into the geometry

That butt-forward cant isn’t marketing fluff. By pulling the revolver’s grip closer to the body, you reduce printing, especially with round-butt frames. On a good 1.5–1.75″ belt, the holster plants the gun tight to the midline of your strong side, keeping the cylinder’s bulk from telegraphing through a light cover shirt. It’s the same principle professionals lean on: hide the grip, control the angle, and maintain access.

Durability and value

The leather is saddle-grade, and the double-stitched seams reinforce wear points that usually fail first. For a hard-use carry rig, that matters. At 89.09, you’re getting a purpose-built holster from a brand known for making leather that lasts. You can spend more and get less if the design misses the fundamentals; this one doesn’t.

Who this holster is for

Everyday carriers

If your day ranges from office to errands to range, this holster meets you in the real world. It conceals well under a light jacket or untucked button-down and holds steady during long days on your feet.

Revolver purists and professionals

For those running a K6s or SP101 as a primary or backup gun, the geometry here keeps the draw efficient under stress. The open muzzle and firm mouth make reholstering safer and more controlled—no collapse, no fishing for the opening.

Training-focused shooters

Reps build performance. The open-top, friction-based retention lets you train clean draw strokes without reconfiguring straps between runs. Consistency is the path to speed, and this rig supports that.

Setup and carry tips

• Match your belt: run a 1.5–1.75″ belt with real stiffness. A flimsy belt torpedoes even the best holster.
• Find your clock: most shooters settle between 3 and 4 o’clock strong side for the best mix of concealment and access with a butt-forward cant.
• Dry practice your draw: build a high tang grip in the holster, clear the leather, then drive to eye line. Slow is smooth; smooth becomes fast.
• Mind the cover garment: light fabrics break up outlines better than tight stretch materials. The holster does its part; your wardrobe does the rest.

Technical highlights at a glance

• Saddle leather with double-stitched seams for strength and longevity
• Hand-molded fit for secure, passive retention
• Open-top design for a swift, unobstructed draw
• Butt-forward cant to enhance concealment and wrist alignment
• Open muzzle for flexibility and drainage
• Fits belts up to 1.75″
• Compatible with Colt Agent/Cobra/Detective 2″, Kimber K6s, Ruger SP101 (incl. spurless 2.25″), and Taurus 327/605/94 2″
• Price: 89.09

Field notes from a hard-use perspective

Leather gives you a quiet draw. No rattle, no edges to catch on seat belts or chair backs. With the molding this tight, the revolver seats the same way every time—indexing the front strap and cylinder so your firing grip sets faster. Under pressure, small efficiencies matter. The butt-forward cant trims tenths off your first shot by aligning the gun with your natural wrist angle. When you’ve got to clear cover, those tenths add up to confidence.

Bottom line for the carry belt

If you’re running a compact revolver and want an everyday holster that draws fast, conceals clean, and holds up to real mileage, this is the move. The materials are honest, the design is disciplined, and the fit is tuned for the guns people actually carry.

There’s a certain calm that comes from a revolver with honest bones and clean lines—no guesswork, no drama, just steel, walnut, and a purpose. When you roll the cylinder and hear that confident click, you know exactly where you stand and what the tool in your hand was built to do.

UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN II takes that feeling and anchors it in American history, pairing classic Single Action Army heritage with modern safety and usability for today’s range sessions, field carry, and display cases alike.

View product details and pricing

Why This Revolver Matters

Uberti’s reputation is built on faithful reproductions that do more than sit in a case—they run, and they run well. The UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN II is a modern rendering of the Colt Single Action Army, the storied sidearm first developed for the U.S. Army and embraced by lawmen and outlaws who demanded reliability above all else. It captures that history and translates it into a revolver you can actually shoot with confidence.

This model arrives chambered in .45 Long Colt with a 5.5-inch barrel, giving you the classic balance point that made the original SAA so widely praised by troops who carried it daily. The six-shot cylinder, solid lockup, and precise indexing bring a reassuring rhythm to the firing cycle. If you value a clean break, a predictable sight picture, and a sidearm that sits steady in the hand, this one checks all the boxes.

.45 Long Colt: Purposeful Power

The .45 Long Colt remains a gentleman brawler of a cartridge—substantial, controllable, and capable. In a 5.5-inch barrel, it delivers a smooth recoil impulse that pushes rather than snaps, ideal for deliberate single-action work. For range days, standard-pressure loads keep the experience comfortable while still thumping steel with authority. For field and varmint control where legal, carefully chosen loads provide dependable performance without overcomplicating your setup.

There’s a reason so many shooters keep returning to this caliber: it’s a classic that doesn’t feel dated. From learning fundamentals to perfecting slow-fire accuracy, .45 LC rewards good habits and punishes sloppy ones, helping you become a better marksman with every cylinder.

Safety Features Built For Real Use

The UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN II integrates a retractable firing pin that only moves into position when the trigger is pulled. That means the firing pin doesn’t rest on a primer as you carry or stage the revolver, an intelligent modernization of a historic platform. It’s not gimmicky—it’s responsible. For those who appreciate period-correct handling but demand modern peace of mind, this system fits the mission perfectly.

Maintenance: Simple, Smart, and Fast

Uberti equips this revolver with a spring-loaded cylinder-pin retainer. Translation: cylinder removal and routine cleaning are far less fussy than on older designs. If you’ve ever fought a stubborn base pin, you know why this matters. Field-stripping for a quick scrub after a dusty day is straightforward, keeping your revolver running clean without turning the bench into a parts scavenger hunt.

Fit, Finish, and Feel

There’s a lot to admire in the stainless steel finish paired with polished walnut grips. Stainless offers resilience against sweat, weather, and hard use, while the walnut provides that warm, confident interface your hand appreciates during long strings of fire. The 5.5-inch barrel strikes a sweet balance: quick enough to clear leather smoothly, long enough to deliver a stable sight radius and consistent velocity. The overall package is as handsome as it is functional—an ideal blend for collectors who shoot and shooters who collect.

Handling Characteristics in the Real World

With a six-shot cylinder and single-action trigger, the UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN II rewards deliberate mechanics. Cock the hammer, acquire a clear front sight, press the trigger—repeat. It’s the recipe for disciplined shooting. The cadence it encourages is methodical, letting you focus on trigger control and follow-through. On steel, the feedback is instant. On paper, the groups tell the story. This revolver doesn’t hide bad habits; it corrects them through repetition and clarity.

Heritage Without the Hassle

Collectors gravitate to the 1873 lineage for a reason: it’s a piece of America you can hold. But unlike a fragile antique that belongs behind glass, this modern reproduction invites range time. Uberti honors the original Single Action Army design while giving you practical upgrades like that retractable firing pin and easy-maintenance cylinder-pin retainer. You get authentic lines and function without babysitting a century-old piece.

Who It’s For

New Revolver Shooters

If you’re stepping into the world of single-action revolvers, this is a confidence-building platform. The ergonomics, mild-to-manageable recoil in .45 LC, and clear manual of arms make fundamentals easier to learn and retain.

Experienced Wheelgun Fans

For seasoned revolver shooters, the UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN II offers a capable range companion with the look and feel you want and the reliability you need. It’s an ideal addition to a lineup that values tradition with modern function.

Collectors Who Shoot

Not just a display queen. The stainless finish and polished walnut grips make it worthy of the case, but the internals and barrel length make it a joy at the range. This one bridges both worlds cleanly.

The spring-loaded pin makes this a quick turnaround—no drama, no delay before your next outing.

When the marsh wakes up and the birds start moving, you don’t need flair—you need a shotgun that runs every time, points naturally, and shrugs off weather like it’s nothing. In that space, a few designs have earned quiet respect for doing the work without demanding attention.

WINCHESTER SXP WATERFOWL HUNTER

Shop this product

Why this 12-gauge matters when the birds commit

The SXP line has a reputation for fast cycling and rugged reliability, and the WINCHESTER SXP WATERFOWL HUNTER lives right at the center of that ethos. It’s a 12-gauge pump built for waterfowl, wearing a full-coverage camouflage finish to disappear in reeds, cattails, and boat blinds. Depending on production run, you’ll see waterfowl-specific patterns like Realtree Max-5 and Shadow Grass styles on the receiver, barrel, and stock—exactly what you want when the sun hits the decoys and wary birds start scanning for anything out of place.

Core specs that shape performance

– Action: Pump-action, 12-gauge

– Chamber: 3.5 inches (accepts 2.75, 3, and 3.5-inch shells)

– Capacity: 4 rounds

– Barrel: 26 inches, steel, .742 back-bored with hard chrome-plated chamber and bore

– Receiver: Aluminum alloy with camo finish

– Sights: TRUGLO fiber-optic front bead (Long Bead style)

– Chokes: Invector-Plus set—Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder

– Stock: Composite with textured forearm and Inflex Technology recoil pad

– Weight/Length: 6 lb 14 oz, 47 inches overall

Why 12-gauge with a 3.5-inch chamber earns its keep

A 12-gauge platform chambered for 3.5-inch loads gives you headroom. Early-season teal? Run lighter 2.75-inch or 3-inch steel with the Improved Cylinder or Modified choke. Late-season geese at the edge of reasonable range? Step up to 3.5-inch loads and a tighter choke. The .742 back-bored barrel and hard chrome-plated bore keep pressures manageable and patterns consistent, which pays off when that single bird flares at 35 yards and you’ve got one clean shot to make it count.

Control, recoil, and speed: how the SXP keeps you on target

There are three things I look for in a waterfowl pump: grip, recoil management, and a positive action. The WINCHESTER SXP WATERFOWL HUNTER checks all three.

Textured composite and real recoil tuning

The textured synthetic stock and forearm lock into your hands when everything is soaked and cold. Winchester’s Inflex Technology recoil pad doesn’t just soften the hit—it redirects energy slightly downward to keep your cheek weld comfortable and your muzzle from popping up. That matters when you’re running doubles on fast-moving birds.

Rotary bolt with black chrome protection

The SXP’s rotary bolt is the quiet workhorse here. The lockup is solid, and the bolt components are protected with black chrome, which resists corrosion in wet blinds and salty air. That’s the difference between a gun that looks fine in the safe and a gun that still runs after a week of mud, ice, and boat spray.

Faster follow-ups with pump authority

Pump guns live or die by how positively they cycle. The SXP has a slick stroke and a drop-out trigger group that makes maintenance straightforward. A crossbolt safety sits where your finger can index without thought. It’s glove-friendly, which is not a small point in December.

Patterning and sight picture: it points where you look

The TRUGLO Long Bead fiber-optic front sight gives you a clean, bright reference without cluttering the sight picture. With the included Invector-Plus choke set (Full/Modified/Improved Cylinder), you can build patterns for your ammo of choice. On a 26-inch barrel, the gun stays quick in the pocket and moves naturally on crossing shots. The balance is neutral and confident—exactly what you want when birds cut hard or backpedal over the blocks.

Back-bored barrels can tighten and even out patterns, particularly with modern steel and bismuth loads. That pairing—back-bored steel tube with chrome-plated chamber and bore—also means easier cleaning and less fouling buildup after a long, wet morning.

Durability and field readiness

From the aluminum alloy receiver to the hard-chrome surfaces inside the barrel, the WINCHESTER SXP WATERFOWL HUNTER is built to handle the environments that eat lesser shotguns. Sling swivel studs are installed, so you can run a simple two-point sling from truck to hide. The three-shot adapter with speed plug is a practical add-on for areas where capacity limits are enforced, and it removes quickly when you’re training or patterning at the range.

Everything on the exterior—receiver, barrel, and stock—wears a waterfowl camo finish for concealment and added surface protection. It’s not just about looking the part; it’s about breaking up the outline so birds focus on the spread, not you.

Handling in the blind: the small things that add up

Weight and balance

At 6 lb 14 oz, this shotgun carries light, mounts fast, and swings without feeling whippy. The 47-inch overall length with a 26-inch barrel offers a sweet middle ground: maneuverable inside layout blinds or boat hides, still stable for longer passing shots.

Controls you can trust with frozen hands

The crossbolt safety is intuitive, and the forearm texture gives you traction when gloves are wet or icy. The action rails feel slick even after a few dunkings, and the drop-out trigger group simplifies cleaning—open it up back at camp, wipe down the internals, and you’re ready for the next morning’s flight.

Where the value hits

At an asking price of $488.99, the WINCHESTER SXP WATERFOWL HUNTER punches above its weight. You’re getting a 12-gauge, 3.5-inch capable pump with a back-bored, chrome-lined barrel; three Invector-Plus chokes; a fiber-optic sight; camo across the entire platform; sling studs; a recoil system that actually helps; and the kind of reliability that matters when the weather turns mean. That’s a smart buy for new hunters and a dependable workhorse for seasoned hands who want a dedicated waterfowl tool in the rack.

Who should run it

– New waterfowlers who want a durable, forgiving 12-gauge platform that covers everything from early teal to late honkers.

– Experienced hunters who want a light, fast pump they can trust in mud, freezing rain, and salt spray.

– Anyone who values simple maintenance, strong pattern potential, and a clean sight picture under pressure.

Setup tips to get the most from it

Choke and load pairing

– Improved Cylinder + 2.75-inch steel for close, fast teal or timber shots.

– Modified + 3-inch steel for general-purpose duck work over decoys.

– Full (Invector-Plus approved) + bismuth for cleaner edges on geese at ethical distances.

Fit and mount

Spend time dry mounting at home. The SXP’s geometry is forgiving, but getting that bead to sit naturally where your eyes go is the difference between a near miss and a clean fold. If you shoot heavy 3.5-inch loads, the Inflex pad helps keep you on the gun for follow-up shots—build that muscle memory beforehand.

Maintenance routine

After each hunt: wipe the exterior, pop the trigger group, and run a light oil on contact points. That chrome-lined chamber and bore make cleanup quick—no need to overdo it. Keep the camo finish clean of grit so it doesn’t abrade under sling points.

Bottom line for the blind

Some shotguns demand constant attention. This one simply asks for a fair shake and a clean shoulder. The WINCHESTER SXP WATERFOWL HUNTER brings a proven pump action, waterfowl-ready camo, a tough chrome-lined bore, a smart recoil pad, and a choke set that covers most scenarios. It’s fast to mount, easy to maintain, and built for the exact conditions that define duck and goose seasons. If you want a dependable 12-gauge that blends speed, control, and rugged construction, this is a smart move.

The difference between a good rimfire and a great one shows up when the wind kicks, the mirage runs, and you still expect your shot to land exactly where it should. Whether you’re clearing varmints off the back 40 or refining fundamentals on steel, precision and repeatability are non-negotiable.

SAVAGE ARMS A17 is built for that kind of work—purposeful, fast, and unnervingly consistent for a semi-automatic rimfire.

Shop this product

Why .17 HMR in a Semi-Auto Changes the Game

The .17 HMR is a flat-shooting, low-recoil caliber that punches above its weight. It carries speed, resists wind better than .22 LR, and stays surgical inside typical varmint distances. The A17 was purpose-built around this round, not adapted to it. That matters. Many rimfire semi-autos struggle with the cartridge’s pressure curve; this rifle doesn’t. Instead, it runs a unique delayed blowback system designed to time the action correctly for .17 HMR—fast cycling without beating itself up or your brass.

Delayed Blowback for Real-World Reliability

Rimfire reliability is earned, not given. The A17’s delayed blowback action keeps the bolt closed just long enough to stabilize extraction, feeding, and lockback. Pair that with a hard chromed bolt featuring dual-controlled round feed, and you get the kind of consistency that makes quick follow-ups feel automatic—because they are. The oversized bolt handle gives positive purchase even with gloves, and the case-hardened receiver is drilled and tapped with factory-installed scope mounts so you’re not chasing hardware when you should be zeroing.

AccuTrigger: Clean Breaks Make Clean Hits

When precision matters, the trigger matters more. Savage’s AccuTrigger is the quiet hero here. It’s user-adjustable, crisp, and built to prevent overtravel-induced slop that throws shots. Think of it like a metronome for your trigger press: predictable every time. On a 5.63-pound rifle with a 41.5-inch overall length, that clean break stabilizes your shot cycle and helps you hold your natural point of aim.

Barrel and Build: Where Groups Start

The A17’s 22-inch carbon steel barrel is button-rifled and gloss blued—old-school craft with modern QC. Button rifling is a proven path to consistent bore geometry, and at rimfire velocities, that shows up in tight groups and repeatable cold-bore hits. The synthetic matte black stock keeps weight down and weather worries low. It shoulders quickly, tracks well, and soaks up the negligible recoil of .17 HMR so you can spot impacts and move on to the next target without breaking your rhythm.

Optics-Ready and Range-Ready

Savage includes factory-installed scope mounts on the receiver, so mounting glass is painless. Slap on a compact 3-9x or a lightweight LPVO and you’re dialed for everything from 25-yard zero work to 150-yard pest control. Balance is neutral with most hunting scopes, and the rifle’s semi-automatic action keeps your sight picture stable through strings.

Feeding the Beast: Magazine and Ammo

A detachable 10-round rotary magazine keeps the profile compact and the feeding smooth. Rotary designs shine in rimfire because they cradle rounds more securely than many straight-stack mags. Load it with standard .17 HMR or CCI A17 Varmint Tip rounds if you want to squeeze every bit of velocity and terminal performance from this platform. The action was engineered with those loads in mind.

Handling Like a Pro

On the bench, the rifle is predictable. Offhand, it points naturally. The synthetic stock doesn’t try to be flashy; it simply anchors the shot. The oversized bolt handle and the slicked hard-chromed bolt make admin loads easy, while the delayed blowback system keeps cycling smooth when you start moving fast. In pest-control roles, that cadence matters. Precision is nothing without tempo.

Use Cases: From Pasture to Paper

Varmint and Predator Control

Within the .17 HMR’s effective envelope, you’ll appreciate the flat trajectory and explosive terminal behavior of Varmint Tip loads. The A17’s consistent feeding and minimal recoil let you call and clear multiple targets without wrestling the rifle.

Training and Fundamentals

Dry fire builds skills; live fire confirms them. The AccuTrigger and button-rifled barrel make this rifle a top-tier trainer for breathing, trigger press, and natural point of aim. Cost per round stays manageable, and the low recoil keeps the learning curve friendly for new shooters—under proper supervision.

Ranch and Field Rifle

At 5.63 pounds, this rifle carries easy, rides a truck rack without complaint, and comes online quickly when you need it. Weather-resistant materials, a proven finish, and a reliable action make it a simple choice for daily duty.

Why Savage Arms Got This Right

Savage is known for squeezing real performance from practical rifles, and the A17 is a textbook example. Marrying .17 HMR to a dependable semi-automatic platform required more than tinkering; the delayed blowback system, hard chromed bolt, and dual-controlled feed turn a clever idea into a trustworthy tool.

Field Notes from a Practical Perspective

If you’re stepping into .17 HMR for the first time, expect a rifle that teaches you how to read wind without punishing misses. If you’re upgrading from a bolt gun, expect more speed without sacrificing your group size. And if you’re building a small-game and varmint rig that punches clean and carries light, this one earns its place in the truck.

Turkey seasons reward patience and precision. When you’re working the timber or glassing an open pasture, the difference between a distant gobble and a tom closing the gap often comes down to sound quality and how quickly you can get that sound on the wind. Hunters need a compact, reliable call that fits the hand, runs when it matters, and speaks turkey with authority.

CASS CREEK ERGO ELECTRONIC brings that capability in a streamlined, field-ready package designed to produce real, convincing turkey vocalizations without slowing you down.

Why this game call earns a place on your belt

This unit is purpose-built for hunters who demand control and realism without extra weight. The design is compact with an ergonomic grip, which means it locks into the hand like a well-fit pistol, staying stable when you’re tucked into brush or shifting behind a tree. The belt clip keeps it accessible while you’re moving, sitting, or adjusting decoys—no digging through packs when a tom answers.

Real turkey sounds that close distance

Audio matters. The calling library here isn’t generic; it’s built around real live turkey recordings tuned for spring success. Onboard sounds include:

– Spring Yelp
– Purr
– Tree Yelp
– Fly Down
– Fighting Purr
– Jake Gobble

Those are the core notes of a spring strategy. A soft Tree Yelp at gray light forms a natural wake-up sequence. Hit Fly Down as the sun cracks to simulate a hen pitching off the roost. Layer in Purr or a subtle Spring Yelp to keep the conversation going, then escalate with Fighting Purr if you need to trigger dominance. When a stubborn longbeard hangs up, the Jake Gobble can flip the switch. Each call is distinct, clean, and clear—no hiss, no tinny digital artifacts to spook a wary bird.

Ergonomic control, low profile

When you’re running and gunning, gear should disappear until you need it. The ergonomic grip on this call lets you operate it quietly with one hand, keeping the other free for your shotgun or to handle decoys. Buttons are intuitive, minimizing movement and noise. The form factor is compact, so it rides tight against a vest or belt without catching on brush.

Power and reliability in the field

The call runs on 3 AAA batteries (not included). That’s a smart choice—AAA cells are lightweight, easy to source, and simple to swap at the truck or in the blind. Bring a spare set in a small zip bag, and you’re mission-ready for dawn-to-midday patterns. The belt clip adds another layer of practicality; clip it to your vest, hip, or shoulder strap and keep your pockets free for shells and tags.

Brand credibility you can bank on

Game Calls live and die by audio quality, durability, and intuitive design. Cass Creek has been building electronic calls for decades, and the experience shows in how the sounds are balanced and how the housing fits in the hand. With models across various game categories and a track record of getting the tiny details right, the brand’s reputation is earned in the field where it counts.

Field tactics: how to run this call like a pro

Pre-dawn setup

– Start with a soft Tree Yelp while birds are on the limb. Keep volume modest to match the natural soundscape.
– Once you hear wingbeats or a gobble intensify, tap Fly Down to suggest a hen leaving the roost. Time it with the real activity for maximum realism.
– Follow with light Purr to indicate a calm, feeding hen. Patience wins more birds than volume.

Mid-morning adjustments

– Use Spring Yelp to check for interest as you move. Think of it like a range call—send it, listen, adjust.
– If a tom hangs at 60–80 yards behind cover, introduce a low Fighting Purr to spark competition.
– Escalate with a Jake Gobble only if needed; it’s powerful but situational. Use it to break the stalemate when a dominant tom needs a challenge to commit.

Movement discipline

Keep the call on the belt clip, and operate it where your movement is masked by your body or a tree trunk. The compact footprint and ergonomic grip let you run it quietly while staying behind cover. Control your silhouette, control the outcome.

Build, category, and model notes

This unit sits squarely in the Game Calls category with a focus on spring turkey behavior. Model availability can vary, but the core feature set remains consistent: compact body, ergonomic grip, high-quality live turkey recordings, easy belt carry, and AAA power. The sound library and controls are what elevate it for spring hunts across timber, edge habitat, and mixed farmland.

Value: high performance under $30

At a price of 25.19, this call punches above its weight. For the cost of a box of premium shells, you get a compact system that projects the exact notes turkeys expect to hear in spring. If you’re building a kit or outfitting new hunters, this price point makes it easy to equip without compromise.

Practical advantages you’ll notice on day one

Speed to sound

From first light to late morning, hunts unfold fast. The CASS CREEK ERGO ELECTRONIC delivers instant access to the six most useful spring turkey sounds with no menus to scroll and no app to open. Less time fiddling; more time hunting.

Consistency

Call tones remain consistent across sessions—no reed swelling, no chalk or conditioning required. That consistency builds confidence, and confidence brings steady hands and good decisions when you finally hear that bird drum inside shotgun range.

Lightweight kit integration

Because it’s compact and runs on AAA batteries, the call fits in any vest, pocket, or on the belt. The belt clip keeps it handy even when you’re crawling into position or crossing a fence line.

Simple care and setup

– Power: Load 3 fresh AAA batteries; keep spares sealed against moisture.
– Storage: Stow dry after the hunt and keep it in an outer vest pocket for quick access.
– Sound discipline: Start quiet, read the bird, and scale up only if you need to punch through wind or distance.

Who it’s for

– New hunters who want reliable, realistic sounds without a steep learning curve.
– Experienced callers who need a compact, ergonomic backup with high-quality audio for fast setups.
– Mobile hunters who prioritize low weight, quiet operation, and rapid deployment.

Final thoughts from the field

A good turkey call should blend into your kit and your rhythm. CASS CREEK ERGO ELECTRONIC does exactly that—compact, ergonomic, and loaded with the exact spring sounds that trigger a response when timing matters. If you’re ready to streamline your setup and run clean, realistic audio without fuss, this is the move.

Rifles that earn a permanent slot on the rack don’t do it by accident. They get there by running clean when conditions get dirty, by handling the same for lefties and righties, and by putting rounds where you tell them—cold bore to hot barrel. That’s the kind of edge seasoned shooters look for, whether they’re standing on a dusty range line or moving through tight spaces with purpose.

SIG SAUER SIG716-G2

Think of this platform as a travel-ready problem solver from a brand that’s logged serious time under real pressure. It’s a modern Semi Auto that leans into reliability, control, and ambidextrous function, and it does it with the clean-running confidence of a piston-driven heart.

View product details and pricing

Why a piston matters when the clock runs long

Direct-impingement rifles can be fast and light, but they vent heat and carbon where you live—right in the receiver. The SIG SAUER SIG716-G2 is piston-driven, which isolates the gas system up front and keeps the action cooler and cleaner over extended strings. That translates to more consistent cycling and less fouling fighting your trigger press as round count climbs. If you’re stacking reps in a training block or running varied ammo, a piston system buys you margin—margin you can feel in smoother recoil impulse and confidence that the bolt’s going to do its job when you do yours.

Ambidextrous controls that don’t make you think

When everything is mirrored, your brain gets quieter. The SIG SAUER SIG716-G2 ships with an ambidextrous charging handle, safety selector, and magazine release. If you’re switching shoulders around cover, running manipulations with your support hand, or teaching a mixed group of right- and left-handed shooters, those controls cut the hesitation out of the equation. It’s not just convenience—it’s speed, repetition, and reduced training overhead. The safety and mag release fall where you expect them. The charging handle is accessible from either side without contortions. This is what modern ergonomics should look like.

Adjustable stock and a muzzle that minds its manners

Fit matters. The adjustable stock lets you set length of pull for body armor, seasonal layers, or just personal comfort. A proper fit pulls the sights into your eye line, settles the rifle into your shoulder pocket, and tames sight bounce shot to shot. Up front, the flash hider does the simple work that makes a big difference—reducing signature, managing blast, and keeping your view less cluttered when the light gets low. It’s the kind of muzzle device you can live with every day and build from later if your mission changes.

Magazine, support, and what’s in the box

The rifle includes one 20-round magazine, a capacity that gives you practical runtime without excess bulk. It’s a smart baseline for range days and drills, and it sets you up for consistent reload repetitions. From there, you can add spares as you refine your kit, but you’re not starting at zero.

Certified Used that actually means something

New isn’t the only way to win. The Certified Used stamp attached to this SIG SAUER SIG716-G2 signals that you’re getting a rifle vetted to a high standard—very good to excellent condition—with a no-questions-asked return policy backing it up. That matters. It means the risk curve is flattened, and you can focus on performance instead of wondering what’s lurking under the finish. At $1,994.99, you’re getting into a proven Sig Sauer platform with premium features and real-world reliability, supported by a return policy designed to keep your decision stress-free.

Built for the Semi Auto slot—and built right

Inside the Semi Auto category, this rifle sits comfortably as a duty-capable, training-friendly workhorse. The brand alone carries weight; Sig Sauer has earned its place with military, law enforcement, and responsible civilians who run gear hard and expect support when they need it. The SIG SAUER SIG716-G2 follows that lineage with a piston system that doesn’t flinch under round count, ambidextrous controls that keep your hands decisive, and furniture that adapts to you instead of forcing you to adapt to it.

Practical roles and environments

Whether you’re building a training calendar around fundamentals or you’re curating a lean, dependable home-defense setup, the priorities stay the same: reliability, control, and repeatability. The adjustable stock optimizes fit for fast sight acquisition and steadier strings. The piston-driven operating system keeps the action functioning clean when your day runs long. The ambidextrous controls keep manipulations identical from shoulder to shoulder, reducing wasted motion. Each of those advantages compounds under stress.

Handling characteristics that encourage good reps

Good rifles make good shooters better by rewarding clean technique. The SIG SAUER SIG716-G2’s control layout encourages strong-to-support transitions without drama, and the recoil impulse stays consistent through longer evolutions. Pair it with quality optics and a sling you trust, and you’ve got a platform that scales with you—from dry practice in the garage to live-fire coursework on the range. The flash hider keeps distraction down so you can stay keyed to your front sight or reticle.

Check current availability

What to expect when you step behind it

Shoulder the rifle, set the stock for your gear, and you’ll notice the balance. The controls greet your hands without hunting. The first few shots confirm what the spec sheet suggests: the action tracks predictably, ejection is confident, and you’re not eating gas. That’s a piston system paying rent. The ambi charging handle makes brass checks and administrative handling smooth for both right- and left-handed shooters. Cleanliness is a long game, and fewer carbon deposits where it counts make post-range maintenance less of a chore.

Sig Sauer pedigree, modernized

Sig Sauer doesn’t ship gimmicks; they ship solutions fielded by people who measure performance in time and distance. The SIG SAUER SIG716-G2 fits that mold. It doesn’t ask you to compromise on the essentials, and it doesn’t demand a tool roll to keep it running. It’s a straight-ahead, piston-driven Semi Auto with the right controls, the right furniture, and the right support. If you’re prioritizing uptime and consistency, you’re in the right lane.

Spec highlights at a glance

• Piston-driven operating system for cleaner, cooler running over high round counts
• Ambidextrous charging handle, safety selector, and magazine release for mirrored manipulations
• Adjustable stock to tune fit for armor, layers, or preference
• Flash hider to reduce signature and maintain sight picture
• Includes one 20-round magazine
• Certified Used with a no-questions-asked return policy
• Price: $1,994.99
• Category: Semi Auto

If you want a rifle that doesn’t fight you, this one keeps pace without asking for favors. It’s practical, it’s purpose-built, and it respects your time on the range and at the bench. Set it up clean, run it hard, and let the work speak for itself.

There’s a quiet confidence that comes from carrying a revolver purpose-built for hard use. When the air gets thin, the terrain gets rough, and the stakes rise, simplicity and authority matter more than anything else. A good wheelgun should hit hard, run clean, and handle like it was born in the timber.

RUGER NEW MODEL SUPER BLACKHAWK

Built on the same proven lineage as the Blackhawk and tuned to harness the 44 Magnum, this single-action, six-shot revolver is a backcountry companion with real authority. Ruger scaled up the package with a slightly larger steel grip frame that adds meaningful weight and balance, distributing felt recoil so your sights settle faster for a confident follow-up shot. The squared-off trigger guard protects your knuckles under heavy recoil, while the widened hammer spur and trigger offer positive control when you’re wearing gloves or working in the cold. Coil springs throughout the action reinforce durability and longevity—the kind of parts choice that keeps a revolver running season after season, trip after trip.

Why this revolver still dominates the backcountry

The 44 Magnum remains one of the most versatile big-bore handgun cartridges. It offers deep penetration, reliable expansion with modern loads, and enough energy to humanely take medium-to-large game when the shot is placed well. In the wild, that combination matters—especially when the trail leads through elk country or bear territory. A single-action revolver like this thrives on simplicity: a crisp, deliberate trigger, a robust cylinder, and an action you can trust when weather and mud try to complicate your day.

Built for 44 Magnum authority

Handling the 44 Magnum isn’t just about raw strength; it’s about controlling the cartridge. The steel grip frame and overall mass of the revolver soak up recoil without turning the gun into a boat anchor. The weight is tuned so the muzzle recovers predictably—important when your window for a second shot is measured in heartbeats. The squared trigger guard matters more than it might seem: under hard recoil, it keeps your firing hand from shifting forward and getting rapped. The wider hammer spur also improves leverage for deliberate cocking, especially with cold or wet hands.

Recoil management and ergonomics

Revolver recoil is part physics, part fit. The added heft in this model works with your grip instead of against it. That balance lets the gun roll slightly in the hand—classic single-action behavior—while preserving sight alignment. The wide trigger provides a stout, consistent press, encouraging a clean break. For hunting or defensive use in the backcountry, those touches translate into more control and better shot placement when adrenaline is up.

Field reliability you can bet your season on

Coil springs are the unsung backbone of this revolver. They resist set and fatigue, staying consistent in harsh conditions where leaf springs can falter. That’s one reason Ruger revolvers have earned a reputation for running when others stutter. Add in the straightforward single-action design, and you get a system that’s easy to inspect, easy to maintain, and forgiving of field abuse. Dirt, dust, or a surprise downpour—the revolver stays honest.

Hunting utility, from timber to tundra

This is a hunting revolver first, and it’s honest about that mission. For game up to elk—and with careful load selection and shot discipline, even larger—44 Magnum out of a stout single-action is a proven recipe. In the timber, a 240- to 300-grain load will drive straight through shoulder and vitals. In open country, a steady rest and knowledge of your holdover keep you in the game. The single-action format encourages a calm, methodical pace: cock, settle, press. It’s the kind of deliberate rhythm that puts meat in the freezer.

Backcountry defense confidence

When the trail closes in and you feel small in big country, confidence matters. A six-round cylinder of heavy loads, a wide hammer for positive cocking, and a grip frame that tames recoil give you a system built for real-world moments. If you’ve ever trained to run a revolver under stress—gloves on, rain falling—you’ll understand the value of those design choices. They aren’t gimmicks; they’re hard lessons turned into steel.

Practical setup and training tips

Ammo selection

For hunting, pair the 44 Magnum with controlled-expansion or hard-cast loads appropriate to the size of game. For elk-sized targets, look for deep-penetrating bullets designed to break heavy bone and stay on track. For range work, start with lighter-recoiling practice loads to build cadence and reinforce sight control, then transition to your hunting or field load to confirm point of impact.

Carry and access

A strong-side, high-ride leather holster balances access and retention while managing the revolver’s weight. The wide hammer spur works well with a thumb break, and the squared trigger guard helps with reholstering by providing a positive index point. If you’re moving through steep terrain or brush, secure retention is non-negotiable—protect the gun, but keep it fast.

Sighting and accuracy

Single-actions reward fundamentals. Focus on front sight clarity and a steady press. The added mass of the steel frame helps stabilize your hold on a field rest—pack, log, shooting sticks. Confirm zero with your chosen load at the distance you expect to shoot. For timber, a 50-yard zero is a solid baseline; for more open country, confirm at 75–100 yards and learn your drops.

Ruger pedigree, models, and value

Ruger’s revolvers earned their reputation in the real world. The brand’s approach—overbuilt frames, coil springs, and user-serviceable designs—makes sense for a handgun that may see more mud and rain than a safe queen ever will. With various models to suit different preferences, you can tailor barrel length and sighting to your mission, whether it’s a dedicated hunting setup or a rugged trail companion.

Category and price

This is a Revolver built for work, not a range toy dressed up for pictures. At $938.99, you’re paying for steel where it counts and engineering that favors reliability over flash. If you spend serious time in the field, that value becomes obvious the first time the weather turns or a shot needs to be taken under pressure.

Who it’s for

If you’re a hunter who values decisive terminal performance and a manual of arms that rewards discipline, this revolver fits. If you guide in big-animal country or push deep into remote terrain where help is hours away, it makes sense. And if you appreciate the calm, deliberate nature of a single-action—cock, settle, press—you’ll feel at home here.

Final thoughts from the field

This revolver doesn’t beg for attention; it earns trust. The 44 Magnum chambering, the steel grip frame that soaks recoil, the squared trigger guard protecting your hand, the widened hammer and trigger for confident control, and the coil-spring backbone—every detail points to a tool meant for real work. In the field, that calm competence is what matters most.

Magazines are the heartbeat of a fighting pistol. When they fail, everything fails. Keep the magazines right and the gun runs straight. That’s as true on a calm range day as it is when the stakes feel heavier than air.

FN Five-seveN MRD owners have a purpose-built option: a 10 round magazine designed for clean, consistent feeding and reliable lock-back. It’s a simple promise—compatibility with your FN Five-seveN MRD—executed the right way. The price sits at $38.69, a fair trade for a component that keeps the system honest and predictable.

Shop this product

Why a purpose-built magazine matters

The Five-seveN platform thrives on precision. Tolerances matter, geometry matters, and magazine fit is half the equation. A dedicated 10 round magazine that seats cleanly in the FN Five-seveN MRD gives you that repeatable interface—firm insertion, positive retention, and confident drop-free changes when it’s time to reload. In the firearms category, reliability isn’t a feature; it’s the baseline. This magazine is made specifically to meet that baseline for the MRD variant.

Fit, function, and the MRD platform

Magazines that align with a specific model cut down on variables. With the FN Five-seveN MRD, you’re working with a modern slide setup, optic capability, and a grip that’s built for control. The compatible 10 round magazine complements that design: the follower, feed lips, and body dimensions are tuned for the MRD’s frame, ensuring the slide runs smoothly and the last-round hold-open does what it’s supposed to do. The net effect is a pistol that behaves predictably under speed.

Insertion and lock-up

Whether you run administrative loads or execute reloads on the clock, the magazine needs to seat with authority. This 10 round design supports a solid push-pull check without extra bulk. The profile keeps the mag well interface consistent, so you can load by index, not guesswork. That small bit of confidence pays off when you’re working drills or teaching new shooters the fundamentals.

Capacity that fits the mission

Ten rounds isn’t just a number—it’s often the difference between training anywhere and training nowhere. If you operate in a state or range environment with capacity limits, this 10 round magazine keeps your FN Five-seveN MRD compliant without forcing a compromise on reliability. It also makes sense for focused training blocks: ten rounds per string encourages tighter reps, easier accountability, and quicker data on performance. Controlled cadence. Intentional reloads. Clear feedback.

Brand pedigree: FN

Fn has a long track record of building tools that stay in the fight. When the brand name is stamped on the equipment, you’re buying into that legacy. The magazine’s compatibility with the FN Five-seveN MRD isn’t a generic claim—it’s the point. In the firearms category, brand trust matters. You’re not gambling on an off-spec body that might flare, bind, or short-stroke the cycle. You’re choosing a magazine built around the pistol it feeds.

Training value and range rhythm

Ten rounds create a natural rhythm: draw, press, assess, reload, repeat. That cycle keeps your mind honest and your hands sharp. Dry-fire confirms mechanics; live-fire with a dependable magazine validates them. Use a paint pen to mark your mags, rotate them, and log round counts. If a magazine takes a hard hit to the deck, inspect it and keep moving. The key is consistency—one gun, one mag type, the same feel every time you insert and run.

Practical carry and storage

For daily use or a dedicated range bag, keep several of these 10 round magazines loaded and staged. Transport them in a rigid pouch to protect feed lips, and don’t intermingle unknown aftermarket bodies. Consistency of source gives consistency of performance. When you load, seat the rounds fully to the rear, keep the stack straight, and run the slide with purpose. Smooth inputs win.

Price, value, and availability

At $38.69, this magazine lands in the sweet spot: not a bargain-bin experiment, not a boutique indulgence. It’s a working part at a working price. If your FN Five-seveN MRD is part of your daily toolkit, stacking a small inventory of identical, reliable magazines saves headaches later. When the cost of a stoppage is time, confidence, or missed opportunity, a good mag is cheap insurance.

Who this magazine serves best

– The everyday carrier who wants a compliant 10 round loadout that stays reliable under routine maintenance.

– The range-focused shooter refining speed reloads, working cadence, and tracking fundamentals through structured strings.

– The instructor or armorer standardizing gear across students or teams so everyone runs the same pattern, the same feel.

Each of these roles benefits from a magazine that’s built for the FN Five-seveN MRD and nothing else. Fewer variables. Cleaner reps. Better outcomes.

What to expect on the line

Expect positive insertion, predictable feeding, and clean lock-back on empty. Expect a magazine that holds up to routine drops on rubberized or dirt bays. Expect ease of use that lets you focus on sight picture, trigger press, and movement instead of nursing the gun through malfunctions. Keep it simple: inspect, load, run, document. When the tool works, you can work.

Care and rotation

Label each magazine, track usage, and retire any unit that shows damage or persistent issues. Springs and followers are small parts with big jobs—keep them clean. A soft brush and a touch of solvent will go a long way. The pistol is only as reliable as the magazine you feed it with, so treat magazines like mission-critical equipment, not disposable afterthoughts.

Final thoughts

This 10 round magazine exists to do one thing: feed your FN Five-seveN MRD without drama. That focus makes it easy to recommend. It belongs in your range bag, in your duty setup where capacity rules apply, and in your training pipeline as a consistent, model-specific component. When magazines are squared away, you get to focus on craft—smooth draw, clean press, fast sight picture, controlled recoil. That’s how skill is built.

If your next session demands reliable gear and clean performance, this is the magazine you build around for the FN Five-seveN MRD. Keep it simple. Keep it consistent. Keep it running.

Why This Case Matters When Conditions Get Real

Built under the Boyt Harness Co banner, this case blends a hard-use mindset with clean execution. The shell is a coated poly that shrugs off moisture and road grime, making it water resistant in the ways that count: morning dew, wet truck beds, and surprise drills in the rain. If you’ve ever laid a rifle down on a damp tailgate or pushed through a muddy approach to a hide, you already know how unforgiving moisture can be. This case is designed to keep that out.

Fit and Form: 36-Inch Carry With Purpose

The footprint is tuned for carbines and most 16-inch AR variants with space for a muzzle device and standard stock. It’s compact, which makes movement easy—stairs, vehicles, tight storage in a closet or safe. If you run a collapsible stock and a standard optic setup, you’re in the sweet spot. The black finish stays discreet. No shiny logos, no loud styling—just quiet capability.

Materials That Earn Respect

• Coated poly exterior: The water-resistant skin is tough enough for daily duty yet light enough to carry without complaint. It wipes down quickly after a wet day.
• Foam padding: Dense enough to cushion glass and receivers without bulking up the profile. This is the layer that absorbs the little impacts so your zero doesn’t wander.
• Poly webbing handles and shoulder strap: Webbing should feel confident in the hand and on the shoulder. These do, and they distribute weight well when the rifle is dressed with a light, sling, and loaded mag (stored compliant with your local laws).
• Self-healing nylon zippers: In the field, zippers fail at the worst moments. Self-healing teeth are the quiet insurance policy—snags clear and the chain reseats itself. That matters when it’s dark and your hands are cold.

Pocket Layout That Works Under Pressure

The external storage pocket—10×9 inches—does something many slim cases won’t: it carries mission-critical items without bulging or printing. That’s enough space for a pair of 30-round AR mags (where legal), a small cleaning kit, ear pro, a sling, or a dope card and marker. It keeps the clutter out of your hands and puts your essentials in a predictable spot every time. Muscle memory counts. This pocket helps build it.

Carry Options for Real-World Movement

The webbing carry handles make short hauls simple, and the included shoulder strap gives you hands-free control for longer moves. If you’re stepping from vehicle to range, from locker to staging area, you can stay streamlined and quiet. The balance is solid even with a rifle, light, and optic onboard. No twisting, no awkward swing.

Durability without Drama

Some cases try to impress with overbuild and turn into a chore. This one stays lean. The BOYT HARNESS Tactical is built to be tossed into a truck, dragged across a bench, and leaned against a wall without feeling fragile. The coated poly shell resists abrasion, and the zipper hardware is ready for repeat cycles. When the timeline is tight, you won’t be fighting your gear—you’ll be moving.

Protects What You’ve Invested In

Your optic, your turrets, your glass—those are the fragile parts that suffer when a case fails. Foam padding and a snug fit tame the shock of bumps and quick set-downs. If you’ve done the work to get a perfect zero, this case does its part to help keep it.

Who This Case Is For

• Range regulars who haul a 16-inch AR, PCC, or short hunting rifle and want a compact, water-resistant carry solution.
• Home defenders who need a discreet, low-profile case that doesn’t scream “tactical” but performs like it.
• Professionals who prioritize quiet zippers, predictable pockets, and minimalist bulk for vehicles and tight storage.

Load-Out Tips from the Field

Dial in the Pocket

Set the 10×9 pocket for the mission: a compact cleaning pull-through, chamber flag, multi-tool, and spare batteries make a smart baseline. If you’re running a red dot with magnifier, keep a lens cloth in a flat sleeve to avoid scratches. Label what you pack and keep it consistent. Predictability is speed.

Balance the Carry

Use the shoulder strap for longer moves, but keep the handles ready for quick grabs out of the vehicle. The case carries best with the rifle muzzle to the zipper stops—less shift, faster access.

Weatherproof Your Routine

Even with water resistance, treat it like professional kit: after a wet day, open the case and let it breathe. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth, then a dry one. Your rifle—and your case—will last longer.
