Watch: First Look Caracal Limited Edition Enhanced Model F

As a purveyor of gun-things-different the Caracal pistol had my attention at SHOT 2016.

Jard J68 Pistol Caliber Carbine Fun: Graham Baates

Watch Jard J68 9mm: Pistol Caliber Carbine = Fun

The Jard J68 is made from a simple formula. Pistol-caliber carbine = fun. Bullpup = handy. Pistol-caliber carbine bullpup that accepts Glock magazines = Jard J68.

Everybody would gravitate towards the 45 ACP because it is a larger round and has more stopping power than a smaller 9mm. I remember being in […]
