This review of the Ounce Micro CCW folding pistol by Moondog 2A at SHOT Show 2026 features inventor Bill Osborne explaining its unique design and $900 price point. Key takeaways include the pistol's rapid one-second deployment, its robust construction with 18 steel, 2 brass, and 10 aluminum parts, and its current .22 LR caliber with plans for a 9mm version. The inventor also details safety features, including an automatically disengaged hammer when folded, and provides guidance on clearing misfires.

The Third Bay Ounce is a unique .22 LR semi-auto folding pistol designed for micro CCW. It boasts a 10-round internal magazine, a 3-inch barrel, and an extremely compact folded size under 5 inches long and 2 inches thick, weighing less than 8 ounces. Its innovative design allows for easy loading, disassembly, and malfunction clearing by simply manipulating the handle.

The March Majesta 8-80x56 is presented as the world's most powerful scope, offering unparalleled magnification for extreme long-range shooting. Key features include a 34mm tube, 1/8 MOA adjustments, innovative 'Shuriken' locking turrets, and a unique modifier disk to enhance depth of focus. While exceptionally capable, its high price point positions it for serious PRS and ELR competitors.

This video demonstrates how to use a laser bore sighter, specifically the Wolfroad green laser, for initial scope alignment on a Ruger 10/22. It covers safety precautions, attaching caliber adapters, inserting the tool into the muzzle, and the crucial 'rotation technique' to find the true bore axis. The process concludes with live-fire testing for final zeroing.

This review compares the Monstrum Panzer 1-10x FFP LPVO ($200) against the Vortex Razor HD Gen III 1-10x FFP LPVO ($2500). While the Razor boasts superior glass, a more refined reticle, daylight-bright illumination, and better turret feel, the Panzer offers surprisingly good performance for its price point, especially at 1x. The Razor's higher MSRP is justified by its premium features and warranty, but the Panzer presents a compelling budget option.
