Bench Checks

Keeping up with this industry can be a time consuming task. Every time you turn around there is a new product claiming to solve all of our issues. Not to mention keeping up with third party evaluation, standards updates, and shifting consumer desires. The signal is scattered across a dozen sources, and most coverage never asks the question that matters, what does this mean for how we test?

Bench Checks is that filter. Each issue curates the handful of items worth a test engineer’s attention, with commentary on the testing implications, plus one original observation from the bench. Written for engineers, program managers, procurement professionals, and for serious users who want to understand what rigorous evaluation actually looks like. Subscribe and the first thing you get is the Firearm Test Pre-Flight Checklist: the verification items to run before the first round goes downrange, built from tests that went sideways so yours don’t have to.
