Vitaly Kryuchin posted this video late last week. He is amazing. He is wearing a Russian IPSC jersey while dual wielding glocks. If you notice, he never looks at the sights. It is all point shooting. His dual wield draw and fire is rather impressive.
Pictured is an interesting improvised 9mm firearm being sold within criminal circles in Brazil. The entire trigger group / lower is from a standard paintball marker, allowing for a more useful semi-automatic (open-bolt) operation. A clever feature is the use of standard [Read More…]
