If you are serious about your shooting and regularly
clean or find yourself working on firearms then you need
some sort of gun vise to make the job a lot easier and I
believe it is a worthwhile investment.
I have used the standard Tipton Gun Vise for many years and
have been happy with it. I found that it does have
some limitations. Mainly I
can only use it with long guns and if the firearm is an odd
shape, length, or configuration like an AR or FAL then
the Tipton vise just does not function very well at all.
Recently I have had the opportunity to try out a new gun
vise made by
CTK Precision called the P3 Ultimate Gun Vise. I decided
I would let pictures do the talking to
show you all of the features and adjustments
that are available on this vise. |

I was like a little kid with a
new toy. I brought out every type of
firearm I own into the garage to see if I
could foil the P3. The padded and expandable
rear vise makes it easy to place small to large
items at any height from four to
twelve inches. The pads on either side of the
rear vise are advertised to be resistant to gun
solvents and will not mar or scratch your
firearm. I found this to be true. As
pictured I was able to place firearms in the
vise of varying sizes including a Belgian
Mauser, an AR upper |

(yes, I actually own one!),
and one of my favorite .45 caliber hand guns. I was able
to raise, move forward, move backward, and
adjust the levels of the vise to my hearts
content. The P3 vise is made from welded tubular steel
and painted a glossy black with the P3 and CTK
logos placed upon the rear vise making the unit
look very racey like something off of the NASCAR
circuit. I think the P3 is one of the better
setups I have tried and because of the materials
used in the construction would endure more years
of use than most vises on the market today. |
