The firearms community recently has been buzzing with discussion about G2 Research’s new 9mm round marketed for self defense: R.I.P. Ammo. Even before getting the round to the range, the R.I.P. projectile makes quite a first impression. This lead-free hollow point is made completely of copper. Each projectile is precisely CNC machined to get its […]
Springfield Armory Introduces the XD-S 4.0
Last year, Springfield Armory debuted a 9mm counterpart as a follow up to their popular single stack .45, the XD-S.

Photo Friday: Do You Train with Body Armor?
When I visited Nelson Tactical up in Green Bay, one of the requirements was to wear body armor. I didn’t have my own, so they loaned me a vest with trauma plates for the duration of the training event.

Photo Friday: Wonder Woman Likes 1911s
There was a Wonder Woman sighting at Springfield Armory’s booth during SHOT Show 2014’s Industry Day at the Range. It would appear she is a fan of the new Springfield Range Officer 1911 in 9mm.
Photo Friday: IWI Tavor
I’ll be blunt: I’d love to own an IWI Tavor in 5.56x45mm. As a bullpup rifle, it fits my reach and shoulders better than most standard configuration carbines.

As some of you may know, but for those of you who do not, SHOT Show 2014 is my first SHOT Show. Around this time of year, I am typically at home watching and reading content from SHOT and wishing I was there. Well, this year I have the privilege of being here in person and […]
Kel-Tec RDB // Shot Show 2014
Each year at the SHOT Show, there are always a few releases that truly surprise me, (A single stack Glock in .380?)Â and conversely, there are offerings that just make sense. This year has its share of both categories for me. Two examples of predictable releases originate from Springfield Armory. Â A new 1911 Range Officer in […]
