What is the best ammunition capacity for a concealed carry gun? It’s highly subjective, actually; it really comes down to how much you want to carry around at any given time. Some people are just fine with a 2 in a derringer, 5in a snubbie or 7 in a 1911…but some people prefer to have […]
For some 500 years it’s been known that rifling would impart spin and therefore stabilization to a ball or bullet.

The Arizona rifle features components from KE Arms, GuntecUSA, Elftmann Tactical, Sionic Weapon Systems, Young Manufacturing, & BeatenZoneMFG. Interesting fact this rifle build was actually started in November 2016 during the election. I picked red for the furniture color, because it seemed fitting for the state of Arizona and the time at which the build […]
