SHOT Show: Daniel Defense Unveils the DD PCC Pistol Caliber Carbine

Luckily, the gun world doesn’t knock points off a gun for an unimaginative names because the DD PCC takes won’t win any awards for marketing genius.

The Ruger LC Carbine, Now in .45 ACP

If I were to tell you that Ruger was producing a .45 ACP pistol caliber carbine, which platform would you think they’d choose? Naturally, it seems like the PC Carbine would be the choice.

Latest Harrington and Richardson ARs Go Retro and Weird

The company once known as H&R, was purchased by Palmetto State Armory out of the Remington bankruptcy and is manned by some of the crew of Nodak Spud. This collaboration has apparently led to plenty of money to embrace the retro world and produce some of the odder variants of Stoner’s famed design. At the […]
