POTD: Suppressed, Military-Surplus Chassis Glock?
This is a really hard firearm to look at. A chassis Glock? Actually, it is an airsoft Glock. [Spoiler Alert] While looking at it makes me cringe I am still really intrigued like a lot of you may be. You have so much going on that it is like a gunsmith’s bench vomited all of […]

AC-Unity 60-Round Quad Stack 7.62x39mm AK Magazines
AC-Unity is a firearms and accessories manufacturing company located in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They have recently started exporting new quad stack 60-round 7.62x39mm AK magazines to the USA. This company and its products are mostly unknown to the American gun community that’s why I decided to do a little research to find out who they are and what […]

POTD: British Bullpups Old & New
Today’s photo features two British bullpups, the L85A2 and the Rifle No.9 Mk1, better known as the E.M. 2. The E.M. 2 was briefly adopted by the British Army in 1951, but a combination of national and international political wrangling saw it soon abandoned ostensibly to ensure standardisation of rifle and ammunition amongst the NATO […]

The Rising Cost of Ammo, or, Some Things Never Change
Rising ammo prices have been the norm for quite a few years now. It seems like every time I go to order more rounds, the prices have gone up … again. (Though it’s still not enough to make me want to invest all the money necessary to set myself up as a reloader.) I remember […]

Almost Revolutionary: Patrick Ferguson’s Breechloading Rifle
The Ferguson rifle has been seen by some as an extraordinary design that could have changed the course of history and by others as a mechanical complexity that never would have worked in the real world conditions that the British infantry would have found themselves in. When it comes to either perspective, we cannot deny […]

New Extreme Laser Range Finder: Safran Vectronix Terrapin X Rangefinder
Knowing the distance to your target is the key to success, especially if you are a target shooter. Without that knowledge you will have difficulties knowing where to aim in terms of height, and on top of that you have other factors like the wind. As sniper rifles, ammunition, optics and, not least, shooters develop […]

UPGRADE: Prodigy Grips From Aristotle Engineering
I am a sucker for Ruger rimfire pistol upgrades; my MKII gets shot more than any other gun in the safe. While I long to own a Volquartsen Scorpion, the mod-prone me knows that a ready-out-of-the box gun may be just too perfect. For those of you with the same custom rimfire lusts, Aristotle Engineering […]

My Thoughts on the Full Conceal Folding Glock
What It Is/I Don’t Want to Talk About It: Full Conceal. This is a discussion I’ve been trying to avoid. I don’t like commenting about, reviewing, endorsing, or condemning controversial products unless I feel very strongly about them. No good comes from it because if you have a positive opinion, you must have been paid […]

[TriggrCon 2018] Accessories, Part 1
Arriving at the start of 2018 TriggrCon, I learned a couple of things right away. First, no matter how you try to plan for a large group of people to arrive at a remote venue, it will not go as smoothly as intended (we had some confusion finding the staging location for Range Day). The second […]
