Just in time for SilencerCo‘s tenth anniversary, the company is releasing what it’s claiming is the quietest .22LR suppressor on the market, the Switchback 22. It’s a modular suppressor designed to be run in four different configurations on calibers all the way up to and including 5.7×28. SilencerCo’s press release follows, but stay tuned because […]
We all remember when “The SIG Brace” hit the market in 2013, forever revolutionizing what it meant to controllably wield a large pistol. Free of exclusivity restrictions, SB Tactical, creator of that original pistol stabilizing brace, has spent the last couple years innovating sleeker, lighter, cooler new designs. Their newest for the AR-15 platform: the […]
Gosh, why does this sound familiar? Yesterday I posted about YouTube removing my videos for apparently “promoting the sale of firearms.” Now Facebook has done even worse to Mrgunsngear in reaction to even more clearly appropriate content. In fact, it’s disgusting to see what Facebook is objecting to . . . Mrgunsandgear wanted to boost his […]
YouTube has been on the warpath this month, removing gun content at record pace. On the bright side, they haven’t been issuing “community guidelines strikes” like they did to me last time. Which is good. If they had done so when they removed these two most recent videos, my account would have been deleted and […]
CMMG released its BANSHEE series of AR pistols and rifles three months ago, but they’re already expanding the line. Currently it’s offered in .22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, and 300 BLK (reviewed here). Now, as of a couple days ago, the BANSHEE is also chambered in the same 5.7x28mm round made popular by the FN Five-seveN […]
As you’re undoubtedly aware, FN America did not win the military’s Modular Handgun System trials. But that doesn’t mean we can’t all benefit from the development, learning, and progress the company made while engineering to Uncle Sam’s requirements. In fact, all you need to take advantage of that is a cool $1,049 to exchange for the […]
Sound suppression is a trade-off. For a given design, larger is quieter and smaller is louder. While being quieter has its advantages — after all, that’s why we pay a $200 tax and sometimes wait long enough to bring a new human into the world just to buy a silencer — so does being smaller. […]
This is not a review. That’s coming after further use and reliability testing. But Chris and I were so impressed with Ultradyne‘s new flip-up iron sights that I wanted to show them to y’all right away . . . Spoiler alert: the front post is an aperture sight. That’s right, Ultradyne’s C4 Folding Sights are a […]
Suppressor technology has come a long way, and it’s the rare exception, indeed, that isn’t hearing safe when shot dry. Even so, you may still want to shoot your suppressor wet. But what does that mean, anyway, and what the heck is ablative? A firearm silencer/suppressor quiets a gunshot primarily by slowing down, expanding (in a […]
Well, it finally happened. Last weekend, minutes after midnight on the very day my YouTube channel clicked past 30,000 subscribers, I received a “community guidelines” strike from the Google-owned company. You see, I . . . well, it’s hard to know exactly how I violated their community guidelines as they don’t actually bother to tell you. […]
I’m sorry to break it to you, but sharp, sleek, and fast 6.5 Creedmoor is not a “hipster caliber.” It’s here to stay, and that’s because it’s better than the old glue horse we call .308 Winchester / 7.62mm NATO in every single way. Almost. There you have it, dull old .308 on the left. […]
SIG SAUER has a huge hit on its hands with the P365. Who in their right mind wouldn’t want 10+1 rounds in the footprint of guns that typically hold 6+1? Our man John Boch sure loves his, giving it a well-deserved five star review. But, alas, the P365 isn’t proving to be all rainbows and […]
