Small arms found in deceased house, American edition
I love covering these stories about small arms turning up all over the place, and in the oddest of circumstances, the criminals who stashed the MP40 and Lee Enfield, or the elderly lady who passed away and left behind a fully functional Sten gun. But I think this one takes the cake by a far […]

High-Speed, Low-Drag vs. Practical Defensive Shooting
I, like many readers, value my time as a competitive shooter as part of a regime of practice for home and personal defense. However, it does have its limits, as shown by Larry Vickers. In this ‘Self Defense Scenario with a Pistol” video, he showcases how a competitive shooter would tackle a course and how one […]

EAA Abdo Conceal Carry Rig
EAA has a new product for concealed carry. It is a holster/box for your pocket .380 ACP pistol. It is designed to look like a smartphone on steroids and worn on the belt. I feel as though this device falls into the “uncanny valley” aspect of design. While the uncanny valley is based on human […]

My S&W M&P Pro Custom Build
A few months ago I was fortunate enough to purchase an M&P Pro from a friend who attended the S&W armorer course for M&Ps. This pistol was the one he built in that class. Knowing how particular he is about his guns I had no qualms about buying this Pro model. I did have plans […]

Polish Army Purchases 8K Beryl Rifles, Dropping MSBS?
The Polish Army has ordered almost 8,000 Beryl rifles, an improved AK variant. Does this mean the Polish Army no longer has interest in the MSBS, or that they are refilling their stockpiles as MSBS production comes on line? Defense24 has the story: The Armament Inspectorate of the Polish Ministry of Defence is carrying out […]

Waffen Werle Luger Hybrid Monstrosities
My friend, from Hong Kong, shared this with me. At first I was confused. This couldn’t possibly be real steel. An AK Luger? It doesnt make sense. The barrel is not even attached to the front sight. This looks extremely dangerous. So it has to be airsoft right? Wrong. I discovered Waffen Werle, a German […]

EOTech Laser Battery Cap for the EOTech 500 Series Holographic Weapon Sight
EOTech Laser Battery Cap (LBC) is an unique product. I would call it more of an add-on module than just a cap.
