Just the name “Hell's Kitchen” is enough to impart a sense of grit and badassery. This iconic New York City neighborhood has seen its fair share of history -- the blight of crime and violence, and then ultimately gentrification and re-birth.

The Desert Eagle is one of the most widely used firearms in movies; while watching Deadpool & Wolverine , I pointed out to my wife that Deadpool was using Desert Eagles, and this wasn’t the first time I’d done this during a movie. Having never fired one until recently, I wondered why they were so popular in movies but not so much in the home or self-defense realm. I had my suspicions. It’s a giant, intimidating handgun, perfect for use in cinema. However, that doesn’t translate well into concealed carrying or home defense, so I had to test it out.

Weapon-mounted lights are a great addition to any solid general-purpose or home-defense rifle. While there are a few who disagree, most of us know that having a light on your rifle is a very good idea, almost a necessity. When it comes to my guns for self or home defense - all of them have lights. While most of us civilians might never find ourselves clearing multi-story buildings, or trying to ID a bad guy way off in the distance in the dark, defensive scenarios are a very different story. If someone breaks into your home or you hear odd noises on your property at night, it’s crucial to be able to properly identify what you’re hearing, especially in low-light conditions, before taking any direct action.
