Good review. But for a fun pistol caliber plinker I’ll stick with my Hi Point.
Ugly- yes
Functional and accurate- yes
If you really have serious needs for a pistol caliber carbine like LEO, go for a more expensive option. But for the average Joe looking for a fun gun at the range, the Hi Point will meet and exceed your expectations.
Great review. I agree completely.
She didn’t have guns because the tyrannical government took them from the districts to prevent future uprisings. They weren’t allowed any weapons including bows and arrows, but her father taught her how to MAKE a bow and how to shoot one. No 3D printer needed even. Then her love interest Gale told her that shooting people who want to kill you is no different or harder than shooting animals for food. Then the people rally behind her as a symbol and spark a revolution. In the final book they use their simple arms they were able to create to steal better weapons including guns, and topple the tyrants.
Epic Win.
“Remember who the real enemy is.”
The apparrent flex you are seeing is likely the effect of the scope being scanned while in motion. This can also be seen when shooting video from the side of a fast moving car. The trees and light poles appear to bend.
Guns should come in the third movie 🙂
Is Jenifer Lawrence nude? No, then I’ll pass.
Great review. I’d love to have one of these. Probably would if I did not already own a Thureon Defense .40 cal. carbine (also uses Glock mags … very nice; largest capacity = 22 round).

How is 1600 cheap?
Thank you, Robert. Great site.
I missed last week’s – is a review of the Cor-Bon +P load in the works? I have run some of that through a Kel-Tec Su2000, and it really smokes through that 16″ barrel.
If I’m not mistaken, he’s said that he won’t test +P ammo in the pocket pistols because they are not recommended for use in them.
I feel as though every anti gun organization’s webpages are riddled with pictures of children saying “If you don’t ban guns there is a..uh..97% chance that little…um…Oh! Johnny here will be killed by a gun. They don’t understand our side because we’re not attempting to take rights from them they find sacred. I’m also tired of seeing the term “Gun-Bully”. YOU are the ones asking for our metaphorical lunch money and we are just asking to be left alone. The people who have CCPs and carry everyday dont just go into places and kill people, if they did no one would have a CCP over 1 day. They are doing it so that they feel safe and feel like they have the ability to protect themselves and others. Why is your “feeling of safety” more important than ours? Just because you aren’t comfortable with firearms doesn’t mean I am. One of the ideas this country was built on is that no one should be able to impose their will on others by forcing them to abandon their ideals.
“Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.” -George Washington.
To protect my liberties..I’ll need my “teeth”.
This is what I keep in my home defense S&W 9 mm with a 4 inch barrel.
There’s a lot of social injustice in this policy. Just because one snowy owl flew into an engine, doesn’t mean they all will. It’s not right to racially profile snowy owls, just because one of them caused an issue. If I had a son, it would look like a snowy owl.
Anyone care to offer an opinion about barrel length in these .308 ARs? I’ve been window shopping and have been leaning towards 18 or 20 inch barrels with mid or rifle length gas systems.
Er…that’s trailer, not a review….unless you’re counting the single short sentence below it!
I use a case just like this for my saiga 12. The front center pouch is the perfect size for my 20 round drum magazine. Overall I’m very happy with mine
I have this very case and I like it a lot – with 1 glaring exception. On the 2nd use of the backpack straps, the d-ring at the left shoulder pulled out (stitching came undone). I had 2 ARs in the case – no ammo, nothing else – so I don’t think it was an unreasonable load. several attempts to connect with VooDoo Tactical’s customer service went without response from them. I ended up taking it to my local shoe repair guy to get it fixed.
I still like the case but am a bit dissatisfied with their customer service and have questions about long-term durability.
If you want the same bag of the same quality for less, then look no further than Condor. I have dozens of Condor products and they have never failed me. I have a Condor bag that is literally identical to the Voodoo Tactical Bag reviewed above except for two things; it doesn’t have the MOLLE on the sides, but the three top pouches are secured by MOLLE, so you could replace them with something else if you wanted. It also comes in about $15 – $20 cheaper than the Voodoo Tactical one. I love Condor’s stuff. Also, Condor doesn’t put any silly logos all over their stuff like Blackhawk! Voodoo, and Maxpedition.
Last summer, for lack of nothing better to do, I shot several rounds of 9 mm JPH from a S&W M&P 9 compact (3-1/2” barrel) into a 30 inch tall wastebasket filled with water.
All of them mushroomed as described by the manufacturer without puncturing a hole in the bottom of the wastebasket – for which I was very grateful.
Several of the rounds that made it through the water were the 115 grain, Hornady Critical Defense that was used in the ShootingTheBull video.
All of them had complete “petal flaking” from the copper jacket – not just one or two as demonstrated from the ballistics gel.
I’m wondering if that is not a good thing for a defense projectile. The copper “flakes” are sharp and, having been separated from the lead, wouldn’t that cause even more internal damage?
I own one as well, best bag I ever used. Loaded with AR’s and magazines for each it can get heavy, I wear mine as a back pack and it’s really comfortable. Look around, I was able to get mine for under a $100 on Amazon.
I liked this bag when I saw it online. I ended up buying a Tactical Performance bag for $50 bucks. It holds my AR and 930 SPX along with my pistol, a bunch of magazines and a few other extras. With two more molle bags I can hold all of my ammo and shotgun shell caddies for a 3 gun match. The shoulder straps would be nice but I think I can manage.
Sorry, I haven’t been impressed at all by the Taurus products I have handled. Further, the pistol caliber carbine still seems like a solution looking for a problem. That which you can cover with a pistol, you should be able to cover with a long gun in a more decisive caliber than 9mm or 40.
The Hunger Games series is subversive of tyrannical governments and the things they do. It shows radical defiance of authoritarians and frivolous city folks. It illustrates their corruption. These messages are being introduced to pre-teens in their formative years with the force of a huge multi-media pop-culture phenomenon which will end up spanning several years.
Tons of kids (and parents) who wouldn’t otherwise are now showing up at local ranges to learn archery (I am an archery coach at such a range). In the process they are hanging out with gun folks at the range, getting to know who they actually are, learning about marksmanship and sporting. Sure they’re doing archery now, but they are in the community now too They are seeing people with guns, using them safely and responsibly for sporting purposes, hearing guns in the background. Many of my archery kids and families (lots who have no prior gun experience) have expressed interest in other activities and leagues at the range as well. I can them forward them to NRA rifle, pistol, and shotgun programs run out of our range. I’m coordinating with the other shooting disciplines to have cross discipline opportunities to offer my kids with the other shooting sports.
These kids will be voting in a few years. Their parents vote now.
Epic Win.
Big fan of STB. After these two videos, I yanked the Critical Duty out of my M&P Shield and replaced it with Critical Defense. What a massive difference! Can’t wait to see what the Hornady Customs do, and I hope to see PDX1 on the agenda as well.
and no one has thought of letting the fraternal order of police and the local police union know that their members’ lives are pawns in Bloomberg’s and Shannon (my former Sunshine) Watts’ little game? I can’t believe they will let this fly.
I bought a full CMMG ar-15 last December during the panic. It’s funny, I had been in to see my LGS the day before Newtown and had picked out a nice BCM rifle around $1200. Had done research and liked their rep. Got online the day after the shooting and realized everyone was buying up ar-15s. Got to LGS first thing Monday and the CMMG was the only rifle left near my range, at an inflated $1400. I bought it not knowing a thing about the company. It’s been 100% solid and seems to be well made.
If I started pooping money I would consider this rifle.
“Evolve”? seriously? Let me guess who needs to ‘evolve’. Could they pick a more condescending and passive agressive title for this sham?
“How actual behaviors are adopted is where it gets complicated, but we have to be willing to have some of these conversations in order to bridge this divide.”
No we really don’t. What do people who know nothing about firearms possibly have to contribute on the topic of gun safety? The conversation is over, the divide is unbridgeable, get over it. Learn to live in the world that actually exists.
I”m happy with our Sheriff’s Offices here in AZ, most have told gun control groups to FOAD
