Silencerco Adds Smith & Wesson M&P 45 Barrels To Their Lineup
With all the police trade-in Smith & Wesson M&P 45 handguns floating around on the market, I have been pretty tempted to pick one up as a suppressor host. With the used guns on the market at around $350, adding a threaded barrel from Silencerco or another vendor is easy and keeps the whole package […]

Only Imperial Stormtroopers Are So Precise
Obi Wan Kenobi pointed this out in Star Wars A New Hope. However we did not see such accuracy in most of the films. CarRacerGVR4 goes to disprove this terrible stereotype perpetuated by Star Wars fans by participating in a USPSA match using a JP Rifles 9mm carbine in Pistol Caliber Carbine division. With the […]

Vitaly Bulgarov’s AR-15 DEX-stock
So the Internet seem to have gone mental with the release of the HERA Arms CQB stock and front grip. To complicate things further, there were a few random pictures released filling up my social media flow. Was it the HERA once again, or another concept? They looked very similar. The pictures looked great, but […]

Wondering How A Glock Works? Lone Wolf Has You Covered
Prior to taking the Glock Armorers course, I didn’t pay much attention to how a Glock functioned. I knew it worked and that was enough for me, but to understand how to diagnose the rare issues that might pop up with Glocks you need to understand how they work. During the class my instructor did a […]

AK Muzzle Flash In The Dark
My friend Calvin asked to see a comparison of muzzle flash on an AK47. He was curious how much a factory Slant Brake could mitigate flash if at all compared to a bare muzzle. I took him up on it and said I could film it. I took my RAS47 out to my local range. […]

MAC Plays with the Beretta 92S – The M9’s Daddy
While the lineage of the Beretta M9 can trace its way all the way back to The Great War, its common for the pistols designed in the intervening years to be overshadowed by the service of the first and latest models. Most shooters I know think the M9 was a new design out of thin […]
