Here are some pretty spectacular photos I managed to take during the European Handgun Championship 2016 (IPSC) that only recently finished in Hungary. Rolf Lönn started shooting 1979 and has won both the Swedish and the Nordic Championships in IPSC Senior and Super [Read More…]
While I was pulling up some information on the Glock 19 for the review we just posted, I stumbled across this monstrosity. The pumpkin pie Glock looks to be a rather well abused Gen 3 gun with one of the worst stipple jobs I have ever seen, or are those teeth marks? To [Read More…]
There are so many ways to carry a handgun. Many people like carrying behind the back as it is very comfortable. Some carry outside the waistband and some carry inside. As we all know there are a plethora of holsters to fit any and all requirements one needs. However [Read More…]
Ian S. experienced quite a shock when his FNP tactical exploded. FN Tactical blew up on me today. Appears to have not been completely in battery so either really dirty or a high primer. Hands are burnt and really bruised but not bad considering. Also, +1 for eye pro. [Read More…]
I was re-watching Pixar’s Cars 2 the other night. I never noticed this before but there is a gun reference in that movie. The character Rod Torque Redline is an American Spy who infiltrated a secret organization. The bad guys have roughed him up a bit and like in [Read More…]
TFB has reported about the brand new CZ Shadow 2 both once and twice before. The first time when it was released to the press and later when it was released at IWA in Germany 2016. Here it can be seen in action at a recent IPSC Handgun match in Sweden, ONYX 2016. I [Read More…]
My friend at MAGPUL posted this picture up. It is a new style of DAKA pouch specifically for suppressors. No word on when they will be available but I suspect they will be soon since it is a simple affair to cut them and weld them.
Today’s photo is a 7.5″ 300 Blackout. AR-15 format, but Low Visibility Gear and a lot of fun to shoot. AAC’s “Honey Badger” did play a part as a role model for this rifle (it’s not a “pistol”), and there’s a B&T [Read More…]
The German Police are bringing back an oldie but goodie for self protection. Chainmail. Due to the rise in machete and axe attacks, some police are donning a tried and true method to protect themselves. It definitely looks cool and functional for this fall season!
Saw this posted on Facebook. To the props/weapons master: You had one job. Now to be fair the actress or possibly extra might have been directed to do a mag change and clearly does not know how an MP5 is supposed to work or its magazine. Someone thought this might be [Read More…]
This amazing photo was taken by Jeff W. of Parabellum Combat Systems. Parabellum Combat makes MP5s. Pretty good MP5s from what I hear. The photo above shows an MP5 with an SD handguard and Knights Armament suppressor.
The Type 73 looks somewhat like North Korea’s attempt at copying the Bren LMG with a lot of influence from the Russian PK guns. Here is another photo that looks like it might be taken from the same photo shoot. I wonder how the sights work? Are they offset so they [Read More…]
Here is a photo of my friend Brian M. at the recent 2016 FN 3Gun Match. He made the muzzle brake himself. I just happened to capture the right moment and the muzzle flash. He is engaging some paper targets at about 20 yards using a Sig Romeo 3 red dot sight.
Great photo by Empty Shell LLC of their Micro Gun sitting in a pile of links. I would happily take on the sacrifice to aid in the creating of this endeavor. How do we know if those are just a pile of new links or fired links? They should do this picture again on video [Read More…]
PFC Coatings took apart a SCAR 17S to coat it with FDE Gun Kote. According to their Instagram page, there is something missing in this photo. They have not commented on what that is. Can you tell what is missing?
Chad Enos of Kel-Tec is posing with his Gen 2 Sub2000. It has a red dot and Kel-Tec flashlight attached to the side. I like the framing of the side view mirror so you can see what he is aiming at. It is clever mise-en-scène.
I mounted the brand new Zeiss V8 4.8-35×60 on a rifle (Ruger Precision Rifle) and wanted to see how it behaved in twilight and darkness. On a fairly clear night, there were some light, thin clouds, I pointed the setup towards the moon. I have to say I’m very [Read More…]
I was perusing a nearby Walmart that I don’t frequent that often. I walked into the sporting goods department to see if they might have 8mm Mauser ammo. They did not but then I saw they have American Eagle .50 BMG 660gr ammo. Huh, never would have thought to go to [Read More…]
Today’s Photo of the Day is something spectacular. A time machine back to WW2. I visited a friend, we started talking, had some cookies and coffee. Talk was good. But no coffee without guns, so my friend places his new purchase on the table. I’m not [Read More…]
The Waitasaurus Rex has been floating around the internet for a couple of days now, but damn if it isn’t funny. As we all know, with the implementation of the new ATF rule 41F, wait times for NFA items are expected to increase to unprecedented levels. Right now [Read More…]
This is a rather rare AK74 magazine that is a quad stack. Similar in concept to the SureFire 60rd quad stack magazines. I am told it holds 60 rounds of 5.45x39mm.
An art foundation has put an ammo test on display in the Presidio of San Francisco. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the display is the result of an AK47 bullet smashing into an M16 bullet. So probably 7.62x39mm vs 5.56x45mm. I am curious about the origins of [Read More…]
Great photo by my friend Chase Pappas of his Smith & Wesson TRR8. He is using TKCustom moonclips. The grip and cylinder release have been switched out for Hogue upgrades. You can check out Chase’s other photography on his Instagram account @chaseingtheoutdoors [Read More…]
My friend Irfan sent me this photo. It was posted on the Royal Malaysian Navy Facebook page. It is a photo celebrating Malaysian Independence. The guy on the right is a member of PASKAL: The Pasukan Khas Laut (Naval Special Warfare Forces). He is holding an H&K MP7 [Read More…]
Someone posted this photo on Facebook. It is their suppressed FDE FN SCAR17S in a guitar case. Due to the folding stock design, it is a perfect fit in the guitar case. Perfect for discrete traveling. Do you use discrete cases for your firearms?
This photo was posted from a Minnesota gun buy back. I have to hand it to the person that created this masterpiece. The serial number is particularly amusing. Looks like a creation by Royal Nonesuch. According to the article, one person they interviewed is using his [Read More…]
Jim Fuller of Rifle Dynamics posted this up on a facebook group called EDC – Every Day Carbine. Not an M-4 but still my EDC carbine. If you notice he has twin Emerson knives and two glocks. One is a gen 2 Glock. You can tell due to the lack of an accessory rail on [Read More…]
Jiang Wen portrays Baze Malbus in the new Star Wars movie: Rogue One. A SureFire X300 was spotted on his prop weapon. It is just as bad as the ATI stock that was on Captain Phasma’s gun in Force Awakens. At least the SureFire X300 is small and you probably [Read More…]
At first glance I was a bit confused by this photo. The Lancer mags show us the rounds and they are huge. Since it appears to be single stack with ballistic tips I thought this was some bizzare pistol caliber round. Nope it is .458 SOCOM. Below is a photo comparing 5.56 [Read More…]
My friend Brian M. sent this picture to me. He and I always like higher capacity especially for USPSA and 3Gun. Around the same time as my Scorpion Evo3 +10 extension, Brian had the idea to make an extension for Colt/UZI SMG magazines. It is a +8rd extension making the [Read More…]
