CMMG Release the All New DISSENT Br4 Rifle
CMMG just dropped their latest rifle, the DISSENT Br4. While it’s an AR-based system, this one is a little different in that it uses a lower with a more traditional rifle layout. The Br4 is similar is style to guns like the Fightlite SCR, the Foxtrot Mike Ranch Rifle, and the SIG MCX Regulator. The […]
Brace Yourselves: SB Tactical Drops the New SBA5 Pistol Brace
It looks like the industry is feeling pretty good about the prospects of the ATF’s pistol brace rule being shot down because I saw a couple new options at SHOT and now SB Tactical just announced a new model of their own, the SBA5. The SBA5 works on a regular 5-position carbine buffer tube and […]
St. Croix Tactical’s SCT 19 and SCT 17 GLOCK Frames
GLOCK builds can be as addictive as AR builds. You can pretty much build whatever you can imagine with the myriad parts that are available. No matter what you build though, you need to start with a good base. You can obviously go with a factory GLOCK frame, and there’s a lot to be said […]
KAK Industry Mini Shockwave Pistol Brace Kits
I recently reviewed KAK Industry’s Mini MilSpec Buffer System as a way to trim some inches off of your compact builds. Now they just released a Shockwave Mini Brace kit that will use the short buffer tubes, too. It’s a good option for folks who want more compact pistol builds and don’t want to go […]
4 Retro-Inspired AR Rifle Builds You Can Build, Too
I had last summer off and I did a frenzy of AR building. Going back to work in the fall slowed me down a bit, but I still managed to get a few projects in. All of these builds were retro themed, and most were SBR’s. Just for the heck of it, let’s look at […]
Del-Ton’s Compact DT20 9mm Pistol Has High Capacity and a Unique Design
Del-Ton has been around in the AR world for a good number of years, first as a parts supplier and later as a manufacturer of complete rifles. It’s always been AR-related products though, so imagine my surprise when I popped in at SHOT to see what kind of retro carry handle goodness they were offering […]
Beretta Updates the 10-Year-Old PX4 With Two New Models
It’s hard to believe that Beretta’s PX4 Storm series has been around 20 years, but I guess that’s what happens when you get old. Heck, I still remember when the M9 was adopted as the “new” military pistol back in 1985 so that means we’ll be looking at a 40th anniversary for that venerable gun […]
Kahr Arms Releases the X9 Double Stack 9mm
Kahr Arms dropped their first double stack magazine pistol at SHOT Show 2024 and they did a lot more than just widen the grip frame to accommodate a double stack magazine. The new X9 builds on the previous proven Kahr designs and adds quite a few updates and improvement. The biggest thing is the […]
SHOT Show Range Day: American Tactical GSG-9, The MP5 We Have At Home
I like weird guns. A lot. And I’m not sure why. They aren’t always the most practical weapons, either. One that falls into that genre of unpractical and weird also falls into the world of cheap is the American Tactical GSG-9. GSG stands for German Sporting Guns, and American Tactical is merely importing the designs. […]
Elite Tactical Systems Announces the Omega Hybrid Poly/Steel GLOCK Magazine
Elite Tactical Systems (ETS) is known for their transparent polymer magazines for ARs, MP5s, CZ Scorpions and a variety of popular carry guns. While polymer mags are no longer anything new and have long since proved their toughness in all kinds of conditions, there are still folks who aren’t convinced of the durability of plastic. […]
