Kraken Ballistics is a relatively new company on the bullet market. They make bullets quite literally by hand with a +/- 0.0001″ variance. Yes, you read that right. They currently offer rebated boat tail bullets in .308 and 6.5mm and are 100% veteran owned and operated. Kraken Ballistics brings a craft level of production quality […]
Daniel Defense is a well-known rifle maker located in the great state of Georgia. They have been designing and building AR-pattern rifles since 2002 and are very, very good at it. They have many customers in uniform, including the British government, United States SOCOM among many others. Now, however, they’ve departed from the semi-automatic norm […]
The nice part about SHOT Show is that you can bump into people and objects that you normally only see in magazines, on TV, and other forms of media. While I was talking about some new Smith & Wesson products at their impressive booth smack dab in the middle of the main floor, I happened […]
I must admit that I was very happy to be present when the new Brownells BRN-180 was introduced yesterday. There isn’t much out there as far as info, but luckily, you have your friend Josh to tell you all about it. Author’s Note: The BRN-180 is sold as an upper receiver only. My observations here […]
My aimless wandering at SHOT Show, likely brought on by dehydration and sensory overload, landed me at the booths of new and old friends alike. I stumbled into IWI’s booth and took a look at their Tavor TS12 shotgun, among other cool guns. The Tavor TS12 is quite the interesting beast. As per IWI’s website: […]
While I wandered endless expanse of SHOT Show, I found myself at the FN booth. The company is large and has a huge number of products that are in service with every branch of the military. The neat thing about the FN guns is that they make a number ‘civilian’ semiauto versions of their fully […]
The long-awaited .380 ACP open-top revolver from Cimarron will finally be available for sale. This is a beautiful little gun that blends old-school revolver technology with the .380 cartridge. You may notice that there is no loading gate. That’s not a mistake. The rounds are held in by the edge of the frame when loaded. […]
Brownells has been on a roll with their Retro series rifles. I love it that they are breathing new life into otherwise forgotten designs. I had a front row seat to the introduction of a few brand new products. The first is the new BRN-180, a new spin on the legacy design. The nice […]
I recently reviewed the new SIG SAUER P938 Legion chambered in 9mm. The pistol was amazing and could be thought of as the Rolex of carry guns. Today we’re going to be taking a look at the SIG SAUER P238 Legion chambered in .380 ACP, a similar gun in appearance, but very different in overall […]
SIG SAUER has been on a roll when it comes to releasing new designs and making improvements to their existing line-up. The Legion series was introduced not terribly long ago and it featured some of SIG’s finest work. Legion guns come with more than just bragging rights in that they are loaded with lots of […]
In a recent article of mine, I talked about both chickens and the .300 AAC Blackout round. I presented the idea that, from a practical standpoint, the 300 BLK is an extremely practical cartridge for general use, a breed made for today’s demands that can both show well and make meat, so to speak. I […]
Hot on the heels of the announcement of the new single-stack slimline G43X and G48, both of which are skinny little 9mm’s, I am going to take the time to do a rewind and look at GLOCK’s first attempt at the single-stack slimline game: the .45 ACP GLOCK 36. The early generations of GLOCK pistols […]
