Pistol Caliber Kalashnikov
Pistol caliber Kalshnikovs are nothing new at all, made in Peshawar and most notably with the Russian Bizon. But it’s the configuration that caught my eye with this gun shop out of Arizona called Kalashnicohn (Facebook page). They make standard SBRs or “pistols” with under folding stocks, chambered in .45 and 9mm (more calibers to come). But […]

Not DragonSkin Armor’s Secret: Hockey Pucks
Okay, I was a little bit sarcastic in the title, but the idea behind Dragon Skin armor is to use overlapping discs of armor. That said, I would hope that they would not use a hockey puck as the basis of the armor, as it fails miserably in defeating either a .30 carbine round or a […]

The Detonics Story
After reading that some of you haven’t heard of Detonics I had to rectify that and give you a history of the company and why the “Combat Master” was such a groundbreaking pistol and one I enjoyed carrying. Many thanks to my good friend Syd and Rick who compiled all the information used in the […]

STI to partner with Detonics Defense
Two high end, precision 1911 manufacturers, STI International and Detonics Defense, have entered into a business partnership in the hopes of producing better 1911s. It seems that the two seem to compliment each other, with STI having very good quality control and production facilities but lacking the theory and design ideas necessary for a “modernized” […]

DIY Shooter Hog Saddle
CaptainBerz posted a three part video of how to make your own inexpensive tripod hog style saddle. The first video is just Berz and Nate talking about the benefits of shooting with a tripod and saddle. They did mention that shooters would use PVC pipe and cut it in half. While this is better than […]

Flashlight Review: Browning Black Label Series Disrupter Flashlight
It seems that there is a race to create the brightest, farthest throwing flashlight these days, and this competition has led to a now common form factor: multiple emitters, large enough bodies to hold multiple battery cells, and in many cases the ability to recharge without removing the batteries. Browning has jumped head first into this […]

Inventing A New Cartridge: .58 Berdan Long
Hat tip to Bryan S. for sending this to me. Doc Nickel does some machine work on paintball guns and various other projects. Once in a while he works on firearms. He helped a client resurrect a circa 1860 Remington rolling block. It is black powder but uses brass cartridges. However the previous owner bored […]

Muddy Girl Reaches Another Platform… This Time UTAS Shotgun
The inexorable march of pink camouflage marches on. Its latest victim (er… “partner”) is UTAS who has implemented it on its UTAS bullpup shotgun. Its announcement includes the usual drivel of how “aggressive” the Muddy Girl Camo is on the UTAS “attitude” driven design. Ay carumba, can someone spare me the marketing-speak? I, for one, would […]

HiperFire Releases TH-24 “C” Tarheel Trigger
HiperFire (one on my personal favorite triggers out there… as they designed something novel instead of making a wheel rounder) has announced the release of their TH-24 trigger in collaboration with Tarheel 3-gun. The trigger is in essence the 24-C, but adds in a fantastic nickel-based coating and revised geometries to make the C even better. […]
