Whoops! Two months later and I just stumbled across these photos from my visit to the Lyman Products booth at SHOW Show 2018. They have a ridiculous number of new products coming out this year, all of which you can see by downloading the new products catalog here (and find over 200 of which on Brownells […]
Though Juggernaut Tactical used to make one of the worst products I’ve ever reviewed, I still had a high opinion of the rest of their line. In what appears to be no exception to that, their new Ultimate AR Jig looks awesome. It’s a drill jig kit designed to help you turn an 80% AR-15 […]
Well, at least as far as this gun blogger is concerned, a 242 grain .308 breaching round absolutely qualifies as “unique.” And then some. It also makes quick work of door locks and hinges with barely any spall out the far side . . . At SHOT Show’s Industry Day at the Range, Dark Horse […]
Due to finally hit the U.S. market in mid-to-late spring of this year, the Archon Type B is the next evolution of the Arsenal Strike One. The unique action and design of these pistols remains highly appealing to me, and the Archon even addresses the trigger issues I had with the Strike One . . […]
A typical centerfire pistol silencer, like Dead Air’s Ghost-M, is about 1.375″ in diameter. When installed on a threaded pistol barrel, it’s often taller than the sights and can obscure view of the target. Tall sights are a simple solution. But they aren’t without drawbacks, such as holster incompatibility and snagging. Dead Air, in conjunction […]
At at hair under $0.45 per round, Freedom Munition’s new X-DEF is less than (or way less than) half the cost of most premium self-defense ammo. Designed and manufactured entirely in-house, the X-DEF projectiles are engineered to expand reliably, penetrate the FBI-specified 12 to 18 inches in ballistics gel, and retain their full weight. We’d test […]
Finding a trigger that works properly in an AR type pistol caliber carbine can be difficult. The bolt carrier in AR-9 type guns varies between manufactures. This causes compatibility issues with after market triggers. ELF Tactical thinks they have solved this problem, or at least improved the situation . . . ELF Tactical told TTAG […]
On New Year’s Day we posted the news of Springfield’s new 911 .380 to a lot of “so what” comments. Frankly, I was right there with you. I’ve shot the other pocket gun .380 “1911” pistols that have been around for many years, and it looked like this Springer brought nothing new to the table. […]
Yada yada yada SHOT Show protester. “For attendees like Jon Wayne Taylor, who describes himself as an ‘old school gun nut,’ SHOT show isn’t political, it’s about business,” thedailybeast.com reports. “A place for the gun industry to show off the latest and greatest in firearms and accessories . . . But Taylor – who owns […]
Sako’s new 85 Carbon Wolf is a real eye catcher. But what really surprises about the rifle . . . is just how comfortable it is to have and to hold. The 85 Carbon Wolf’s palm swell feels like it was modeled after a cast of my hand. The rifle’s fashioned from RTM carbon fiber. […]
From switch-caliber revolvers to 9mm revolvers to a semi-auto .22 LR rifle for $139 — full MSRP — Taurus and Rossi broke out the goods at SHOT Show 2018. TTAG is looking forward to getting our hands on some of these news guns to see how they do, as Taurus has talked a big game […]
Thanks to its great trigger, reliable function, and notable accuracy, Walther’s PPQ series has been a huge hit. But it’s a big gun that’s less than ideal for concealed carry. Walther’s aiming to fix this with their new-for-2018 PPQ Sub-Compact . . . It’s everything shooters like from the PPQ, but less filling. Not that […]
