The FIME group, which is a part of Arsenal, is importing the Rex Zero 1 pistol made by Arex in Slovenia. My friends at Polenar Tactical are from Slovenia and shot this commercial for them. They brought the pistols out to an invite shoot at The Range 702 in Vegas. I shot the suppressed […]

[SHOT 2016] Gun Tote’n Mamas
This year I was fortunate enough to have my wife attend with SHOT with me (though she was in a buyer role), and she asked why there was hardly any coverage on products for the ladies. Well, sheesh, good point. Her biggest issue is finding a concealment option that will work well as a purse. […]

[SHOT 2016] Roberts Defense’s Desert Ops Custom 1911
It looks like I am a bit fixated on the 1911 today. While I was trying to find my way around the labyrinth that they call SHOT Show I ran across Roberts Defense and decided to take a look at a name I had not previously heard. I am grateful that I did because the […]

[SHOT 2016] iMarksman
iMarksman iMarksman is a pretty cool company that makes a training system that can accommodate a number of ways to “dry fire” train. At the root of the system is a simple digital camera, some software, and the use of a laser. What I got to see today was quite a bit more interesting than […]

[SHOT 2016] Black Dawn’s Lightweight 3 Gun Rifle BDR-556-3GLW
Black Dawn has come up with a light weight entry level 3 gun that won’t break the bank. When the rep Tim was walking me through the rifle’s features I was thinking to myself that this thing is going to cost a fortune. When I asked the MSRP he replied with $1499 for the black […]

[SHOT 2016] Tactical Walls
We’ve published a couple of press releases around the “tactical furniture” concept. The problem is that you can only get so much detail from a press kit, and I always wondered exactly how well they were constructed. They had a small display at Industry Day at the Range as well as the main venue and […]

[SHOT 2016] Prime Manufacturing Group’s Stryk Pistols
Not long ago I reviewed the superb Arsenal Firearms Strike One pistol. While I really enjoyed it there were a few areas that I felt could be improved. When I went to the Prime booth I was surprised when I saw what appeared to be a modified Strike One hanging on the wall. After talking […]

[SHOT 2016] Did Torkmag Fix the Exploding Magazine?
Earlier this year I got in a prototype Torkmag for review that failed in a rather epic manner while loading it to the 50 round capacity. I stopped by Jarret’s booth to see if he had made any progress on addressing the issues that I experienced and was pleased to find that they have a al […]

[SHOT 2016] Kalashnikov USA’s New AK-Alfa Rifle
In a show that so far seems short on major announcements, Kalashnikov USA, the orphaned official importer of Kalashnikov Concern products to the USA, announced a brand new rifle design, based on the AK, but featuring radically updated external aesthetics and ergonomics. I was only able to drive by the booth and quickly snap a […]

[SHOT 2016] Civilian Force Arms’ Black Widow 1911
It appears I am on a bit of a 1911 kick this week as I ran across a company making some truly outstanding hand fitted 1911s and couldn’t help but stop and talk to them a bit. Before I get too far into things I want to give a shout out to the gunsmith that […]

SilencerCo Breaks Down the Maxim9 Process
It’s not your typical SHOT Show new product post, but it’s interesting. A chat with SilencerCo and President Jonathon Shults at the company’s booth quickly found its way to addressing the booth’s walls – specifically, what was on them. There were a series of numbered components on the wall behind the main counter, and although […]
