Colt XM16 Found In Cambodia Still In Service
We all hear or read the second hand stories of AKs turning up all over the world still in use. But often the stories of M16s from long ago are not talked about as much. That does not mean it does not happen. Recently some one shared on facebook a picture of a XM16 Colt […]

Surefire 60 Round Magazine FUll Auto Test
Since the surefire 60 round mags have came out a few years ago I have been doing some long term testing of them. They seem to have a shady reputation for reliability in some corners while others deem them fine. I have written about them a few times already. I tested them for reliability and […]

Thoughts On The 1911… Again
The amount of people on the web ready to tell you how unreliable the 1911 is, may approach the population of China or India. Even some bigger name instructors wishing to get more attention by saying things controversial blather on about it even when they really do not know as much about it as they […]

Colt SP-1, AR15
The Colt, SP-1 is a classic. It has certainly become more desirable as time has went by and no doubt will continue to. I acquired the AR15 shown for my Dad who carried the Colt 602 version of the M16 in Vietnam and the SP1 is nearly the same gun. I am not much into […]

A Boy And His 22
Once upon a time in this very country, a boy could wonder through the woods on a warm evening exploring his surroundings. and shooting small game or tin cans or anything he felt like shooting. He was trusted to use his rifle. It was not powerful rifle, but he was taught that it was still […]
Aimpoint T-1 & T-2
The new Aimpoint T-2 is making making its way to the market. TheFirearmBlog posted up a video made by Jonathan Owen comparing the T-1 & T-2.

WYATT EARP ON SHOOTING VS. GUNFIGHTING
Interview taken from “Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshall” by Stuart N. Lake “I was a fair hand with pistol, rifle, or shotgun, but I learned more about gunfighting from Tom Speer’s cronies during the summer of ’71 than I had dreamed was in the book. Those old-timers took their gunplay seriously, which was natural under the […]
USPSA – Fast, Affordible Self Evaluation of Your Skills
This last week I went to my first USPSA match with a G19. I didn’t know what to expect out of a match, as all the videos posted online make it seem like everyone you go up against will be a speed freak with a laser like shot to the target. Seeing those videos can […]
Auto Ordnance Tommy Gun
There is just some cool about the Tommy gun. The is Thompson submachine Gun is a piece of Americana, something cool and classic like a Harley Davidson. Few Americans don’t feel something when they see one. Sadly, the day of the Tommygun is over. It is obsolete, as large as a M4 with stock extended(longer […]
Rumormill: FN to release a semi-auto M249 SAW?
I saw this over on SoldierSystems.net. While I think it is cool that FN would do this, I really can’t imagine this being a big seller. As a light machine gun, the SAW isn’t a bad gun. But as a semi-auto, it is going to be large, heavy, most likely expensive. Cleaning the SAW is […]
