Surefire Titan Plus AAA Key Ring Light – 300 lumen!
How would you feel about having 300 lumen in your pocket? (I measure 265 in my integrating sphere – not enough to quibble about.) No big deal, right? But what if: -It was about the same size as your pinky finger? -It weighed less than 2 ounces WITH the included battery? -It used the ubiquitous […]

Y-man: Making the best out of almost nothing…
Hiya all! Its been a long while – I have been reading and commenting, but finally got to do some writing. As many of you know, where I stay is not the kind of place that I can, for example, gather up the loose change in my cupboard, and go buy some more 9mm for […]

Not So Forgotten Weapon: Franchi SPAS-12
I swear I am developing a man crush on Ian from Forgotten Weapons. He gets to play with all the cool things including a Franchi SPAS-12, a combination semi-auto/pump action shotgun. The “SPAS” stands for “Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun” While it failed at its namesake (I agree, it can barely be called “sporting”), the shotgun […]

H&K 416 .22LR Pistol
I recently acquired this Umarex H&K 416 pistol. For only $299 from CDNN, it is a bargain for a Pistol AR in 22LR. Originally the HK416 pistol comes with a faux suppressor muzzle device and a rear end cap on the lower receiver that has a QD sling fitting.Aside from the faux suppressor, a lot […]

More Considerate Muzzle Flash
If you’ve ever done room entry or building clearing work with long guns and live fire, you can appreciate the idea of redirecting the searing hot gasses spewing from the muzzle of your buddy’s rifle. The engineering team at Black Rain Ordnance apparently feels the same way. Introducing the BRO-MFER flash suppressor. While the MFER […]

Weatherby Announces New Mark V Accumark
Weather has announced the latest version of its Accumark line, the Mark V. The new rifle is a continuous improvement on the Accumark touting “upgraded features.” In this case, upgraded features can take a pedestrian rifle and if done correctly, can make it remarkable. Weatherby states the upgrades include “A more comfortable stock. A crisper trigger. […]

I watched the latest Bond film, Spectre, last friday. While it was fun, I could not help myself from noticing the firearm issues in the movie. Warning some may consider these to be spoilers. If you have not seen the movie and care about spoilers, do not continue to read until you have seen the […]

Some of John Browning’s contributions to the effort of the First World War – like the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle and the M1917 Browning Machine Gun – are well-known, but there’s one that never made it to production, or even any substantial degree of recognition: A Browning infantry rifle design, utilizing a totally unique hesitation locked mechanism. While […]

Desert Tec is releasing an app for Android and IOS called TRASOL, or Trajectory Solutions.

One of EOTech’s International Distributors is Bailing & It Gets Worse
Things can’t exactly be easy-going at EO-Tech right now. The recent release of USSOCOM’s Safety of Use Message on the holographic sights not living up to their claims, specifications, and in fact having the zero shift under various conditions has been damning to the sight’s reputation. Elite Defense, a minor player in the domestic market […]

POTD: How well do you know your .40 S&W?
Finch sent us this photo of a selection of .40 Smith & Wesson cartridges. Can you name them all? I have to admit I can only name three off the top of my head. I would like to say that is because I am lifetime card carrying 9mm fanboy … but I am sure all of them […]

Strike Industries MP7 B.U.S.R Backup Sight Top Rail
New from Strike Industries comes a picatinny top rail with integrated backup iron sights for the H&K MP7. This must easily be the most niche product Strike have ever developed!

Smoking Shotgun
This video appears to be part of some sort of PSA about marijuana smoking from Vietnam soldiers. I am more concerned about the fact that these soldiers are pointing shotguns at each others’ faces. The pipe appears to function like a chamber flag, but that does not mean you should point shotguns in people’s faces […]
