Turn Your AR Lower into a .45 Pistol Caliber Carbine: Stern Defense

Stern Defense makes great AR magazine well adapters which turn your AR Lower into a Pistol Caliber Carbine. The version that caught my eye uses S&W M&P .45 ACP mags. Mag-AD series adapters install in seconds, just like an AR magazine. They have a separate magazine release at the bottom you manipulate with your trigger […]

The Kidon Conversion Kit – The Tip of the Spear

The name Kidon may not mean much to those of us outside of Israel. However, in Hebrew Kidon means bayonet or tip of the spear, and more than that Kidon is a department of the Mossad. Specifically, Kidon is the branch of the Mossad in charge of executions of opponents. It’s one helluva name for […]

Shots Fired: Thureon Defense 9mm Carbine

Thureon Defense builds a variety of pistol-caliber carbines in your choice of caliber (including 10mm!) and magazine compatibility.  Earlier we gave you our first look at one in 9mm that feeds from Glock magazines.  Unlike most other pistol-caliber carbines Thureon builds them from the ground up for pistol calibers.  This makes for a receiver that […]

Ken Hackathorn on the M1 Carbine: Reputation vs Reality

Ken Hackathorn on the M1 Carbine: Reputation vs Reality

The M-1 Carbine has been extremely popular with American soldiers, German soldiers, Korean soldiers, Vietnamese soldiers, and a great many other countries. The American’s made 6.5 million M-1 carbines, more than any other weapon in WW2. So what’s the deal? Is it as simple as just that the Carbine was light and thus popular mostly […]

Women and Guns: Why Should Women Shoot?

Video: Grand Power Stribog PDW Range Tested

Earlier we broke the arrival of the Grand Power Stribog personal defense weapon.  That pistol has been outfitted with a Matador Arms Sidewinder folding adapter and Gearhead Works Tailhook 2 Brace.  Stribog threatens the CZ Scorpion by offering both a longer barrel and shorter overall length.  That means more energy delivered to the target from […]

The KPOS Scout – Full Review

I’m a big fan of turning pistols into rifles and then back again. I have a few reasons why but that will be covered in an entirely different article. KPOS introduced their newest kit at SHOT Show 2018, and I knew I had to check one out. I was a big fan of the KPOS […]
