In today’s every expanding world of striker fired pistols a common complaint from many shooters revolves around long mushy triggers. It doesn’t seem to matter what brand of pistol whether it be a Glock, Smith & Wesson, Sig Sauer or even a CZ, most people agree the triggers could always be better. Enter Apex Tactical […]
Over the years, the A2 Flash Hider has gotten a bad rap. The Army spent a lot of time and money developing this marvel. It doesn’t look as cool as the new aggressive muzzle brakes, but it does a different job. The flash hider reduces flash so you are not blinded and there are no […]
The US Military is actively looking to modernize its small arms. The current legacy systems are designs that originated in the 1950s and are pretty much at their design evolutionary limits. To improve the system’s core capabilities the round it fires needed to change. From Soldiers Systems here is the 5,000 unit solicitation for the new machine […]
Way back before the internet, the Army made training films. In 1966, the XM-16E1 was the new hotness and the Army wanted to train a million draftees how to use it. They produced an Operation and Function Training Video which is still one of the most informative videos ever made. It uses a cut away […]
We have written a lot lately about the Sig 320. It has won the ICE contract and was recently selected by the Army as the winner of the Modular Handgun System (MHS) competition.

Below is the description taken directly from the product page: “Dedicated to innovation Hardened Arms is pleased to bring the HD SMC to the shooting public. Using SMC muzzle redirection […]
This dumb idea keeps regenerating itself like respawning enemies in a zombie game, or, given the age and technology behind this dumb old idea, like the bad guys in Space Invaders, the ancient arcade video game (if you recognize the screen on the left, “the hill” is something you’re officially “over”). Fortunately, not everyone is as weary of battling […]
High-capacity handguns, though now considered by many to be representative of a bizarre obsession with excessive firepower and murderous intentions, were once simply an enterprising aspiration. An engineering hallmark. And, though many of these old designs attempting to achieve higher capacities would be seen today as bizarre, none approach the sheer peculiarity of the Pistola Con […]
There was a time in the not so recent past that .22 LR ammunition was worth its weight in gold if you could find it. Hoarders and old men claiming that the apocalypse was around the corner drove the popular plinking round into $scarcity. Now that the hysteria and paranoia has subsided, shooters are once […]
