Adams Arms New .308 Piston Rifle
Adams Arms announced their new Model SF-308, Small Frame piston driven rifles at SHOT Show this year. Adams Arms has poured years of research and development to engineer an incredible new .308 AR-style rifle with many great features. The new Model SF-308 was so popular at SHOT Show that Adams Arms has already sold out their pre-order capacity! Though I believe a 5.56mm AR-platform is better suited as a Patrol Rifle in most circumstances, I do believe that a .308 caliber offering has its place in certain situations.
...PA Bill Would Reduce Knife Restrictions
Legislators in the State of Pennsylvania have just introduced a bill that would reduce or eliminate several legal restrictions on knives as “Prohibited Weapons”. The act was strongly supported by the American Knife and Tool Institute (AKTI), and would delete “dagger, knife, razor or cutting instrument razor which is exposed in an automatic way by switch, push button, spring mechanism, or otherwise” from current Pennsylvania law (Title 18, Section 908 (c), Section 2).

In fact, Speer claims their Gold Dot ammunition is the #1 law enforcement duty […]

...New Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifles
Ruger introduce their Gunsite Scout Rifle several years ago. Based upon Jeff Cooper’s Scout Rifle concept, the Ruger Gunsite produced a compact, bolt-action rifle, that met many of Cooper’s goals.

...Gerber Ding Dong Breaching Tool
Let’s say you have a hostage rescue action, and you suspect the local tweaker won’t answer the door when you knock. Well, Gerber has the door chime you might need: the Ding Dong. The humorously named Gerber Ding Dong is a compact breaching tool that combines three standard SWAT tools into one package: the tactical […]

...More Bullet Safe Bargain Body Armor
Last year Randall posted an article from the SHOT Show floor on the new bargain priced Bullet Safe Level IIIA ballistic vest. In review, the premise is police officers, security officers, EMT’s, or other First Responders that do not have ballistic vests provided to them by their departments. For that reason I think the Bullet […]
