American manufacturer Kahr most recently released an updated version of their popular carry guns. The S9 was our first look at this gun. If you’re not familiar with the upgrades check out the original coverage here. Adding additional internal rails and front slide serrations took an already excellent firearm and made it a little better. […]
Bersa: Over One Million Strong With over one million Bersa handguns sold in the United States we decided it was time to take a look at their classic, the Thunder 380. Weighing-in at just 20oz and with styling similar to James Bond’s iconic Walther, it’s easy to see why the Thunder 380 is a […]
With all they advancements of AR-15s it’s easy to forget that the original intent of Eugene Stoner was to build a battle rifle, not an assault rifle. The original design, the AR-10 was for the .308/7.62x51mm cartridge. There are several reasons why that model was droped by the military and the M-16 was born, but […]
Many shooters of modern sporting rifles (MSRs) seem to get confused and throw a fit when handed an AK. Other complaints aside a predominant whine is that the charging handle is on the right side. The domestic AR’s charging handle is on the left and so some in the “tacticool” arena and others less-informed insist […]
The roller-delayed blowback system can be confusing at times to understand, but I hope this video is educational in understanding how G3/MP5 type actions work. The term “roller-locked” is an incorrect description due to how this system is designed. Unlike the FAL and other popular .308 rifles of yesteryear, the G3/PTR91/C308 do not use a […]
Copper Basin has a bag specifically designed for the Ruger 10/22 Takedown. We don’t own a Ruger 10/22, but were willing to take a chance, besides with a bag so well-built, how could we go wrong? The bag has the look and feel of something you might pick up at REI. There isn’t a hint […]
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. In other words, I’m really looking forward to some trigger time with the Jard J68. Jard is a company based in Iowa and known for their superb triggers. If […]
Going back to my first deployment in 2005 I can account for difficulties with transporting magazines. The issued gear, and even some of the aftermarket options were all either too tight or too loose. That was of course despite the fact that all of our magazines were the same size. After a while it became […]
In follow-up to an earlier post we wanted to both finish the story, and provide a correction. The EDGE trigger shoe is made and sold by Ranger Proof Swag which is not the same company as the premium-rifle-builder Ranger Proof. The companies have a loose affiliation, but are independent of one-another. Both Ranger Proof and […]
The weather is warming and soon we’ll lose easy conceal-ability. As we shed layers so too do we shed the clothing that puts the “concealed” in concealed carry. For some this means moving to a smaller gun, but what if you can’t or don’t want to? One positive of the “tacti-cool” wave that hit us […]
