[Big 3 East] Lithgow F90 ATRAX Bullpup Select Fire
One of the most highly anticipated firearm manufacturers at Big 3 East was Lithgow Arms. We heard about the Lithgow F90 being imported a few months ago. See the post by Nathaniel F. At first I was not as excited about the Lithgow until my friend Curtis of VSO Gun Channel was raving about how […]

POTD: Pumpkin Glock 19
While I was pulling up some information on the Glock 19 for the review we just posted, I stumbled across this monstrosity. The pumpkin pie Glock looks to be a rather well abused Gen 3 gun with one of the worst stipple jobs I have ever seen, or are those teeth marks? To each their […]

Sig Sauer Legion PVD finish concerns
On a number of social media groups and online forums across the internet, there have been reports from Sig Sauer Legion owners of the finish on their handguns wearing off, rusting in spots, or cracking off after relatively little time of ownership or use. Initially it appeared to be user blame in some of the cases, […]

.22LR to 720 Yards?
I saw the video title and nearly popped out of my chair. Considering that shooting 760 yards is well outside the realm of a majority of shooters, using the “lowly” .22 LR to shoot that far might was well be impossible…. but its not. Where Eric from IraqVeteran8888 has shown that .22LR can “kill” well […]

POTD: How Not To Carry
There are so many ways to carry a handgun. Many people like carrying behind the back as it is very comfortable. Some carry outside the waistband and some carry inside.

RMA Armament: Lightest Level IV Plate?
Rifle plates – especially NIJ 0101.06 certified Level IV ones – can be heavy and cumbersome. It makes sense considering a Level IV plate is supposed to stop a .30-06 M2AP round with less than 44 mm of back face deformation. Making a plate that provides this level of protection almost certainly means it will be quite […]

[Big 3 East] Glock G18C Throws Fire
Glock attended the Big 3 East event last week just two days prior to Hurricane Matthew’s arrival and land fall. They brought an assortment of Glocks with them.

T/C Encore Upgrades Part 1: Bullberry Barrel Works
A custom Thompson Center Encore break action pistol is on my short list of must-have unique guns. The one thing that has kept the Encore on my wish list and not a reality (besides the cash reserves) is caliber choice. For a pistol this special, it needs the right round to make it all worthwhile.

The Real Glock 1911: The Alchemy Arms Spectre
Reddit user Mr_U_N_Owen posted the very first “Glock” 1911 that was offered for sale, the Alchemy Arms Spectre. It appears the .45 ACP pistol is more Glock than 1911 with what looks like a Glock 21 barrel and recoil spring, Glock slide lock, and XS Sights Big Dots perched on top of the curiously Glock like […]

Gross Anatomy: AK47 Cutaway
What, no cross section of the cleaning kit? Fail. I’m kidding of course – this bisection of an AK47 is completely awesome. I especially like the split 7.62×39 round seated in the chamber. Any guesses on the variant based on this “angle”? I’m going to go ahead and guess a Chicom variant. Exhibition grade wood. I […]
