My brother's got a 2025 Durango Hellcat. It's NICE... nice and fast!

I agree with you 100%, Biggfoot44. Tradeoffs... It seems to be a generally forgotten fact among many gun owners that anything larger than a .22 LR will have tradeoffs based upon the intended purpose of the gun. If you wanna go to the range every week and fire 200-300 rounds (or perhaps even 100...

They may prefer certain brands of mags, but I'm assuming testing has proven which work best and which don't. Imagine having customers complain about your firearm when the issue is lack of QA for the best mags? :-)

When I first bought y CMMG Mk9, I bought three mags from Brownell's. Talk about FTFs, OMG. None of the 3 worked consistently... well, they failed consistently. I told Brownell's and they took 'em back. (And I have bought a lotta products from Brownell's; great outfit, IMHO.) Called CMMG and...

Hmmmm. Well, are you still happy with the performance of their Colt stick mags? I assume the action of a weapon might come into play for FTFs. Most of what I have fired are quality FMJ NATO-spec ammo. Few hollow points. IMHO I'd rather see as close to 100% reliability as possible in a PDW...

The best Colt sticks IMHO are made by ASC. I have a dozen or so in 20- and 32-round capacity and the run perfectly .

I bought a Standard Hellcat 9mm shortly aftet their debut. The.only complaints I have are the usual: hard to rack and you need a LULA to save your thumbs. Otherwise, it's a really nice pistol. I have added a PRP trigger -- very nice. I added a Veridian red laser to mine. My carry holster is an...

The key to your reply is that you focus on machineguns. Like with rifles, the main reason to carry an SMG caliber is that you can carry more ammo. This is definitely a consideraion with executive protection. I have no problem whatsoever with an UZI, MP5K, etc. but I'm looking at this as a...

My ONLY gripe... Everyone wants small and compact. OK, so most 9mm pistols run a 4-inch +/- barrel. What's does 5-inches buy you? OK, so it has a stabilizer which can improve range; same principle as an old Mauser broomhandle pistol. My PDW is VERY similar, but I'm running an 8-inch barrel...

I'm not sure what a WW1 vet would find the Garand "brutish" or otherwise unsuitable when comparing a M1903 to an M1 Garand. I submit they were both .30-06 but one was a bolt gun while the the other was semi-auto. IMHO, the WW1 vet would probably have appreciated the upgrades yo the M1903. I...

I think such articles are good for historical purposes, but given advancements in ammo and weapons in the past 50 years, I'm not going to use tuning advice for a 1970 440 Roadrunner for my 700+ hp computer-controlled Hellcat. FMJ ammo... nothing wrong with it, especially if you buy GOOD stuff...

You said "i think its not so much type of ammo as it is HAVING ammo". So true. Still, having ammo better than birdshot is probably sound thinking. For example, do you need 55gr, 62gr or other .223/5.56mm? Either, IMHO. Buckshot or slugs? Both, IMHO. I imagine different scenarios and go from...

Simply put -- to quote Dirty Harry -- a man's gotta know his limitations. A bear is not a bear. Huge diff between a 3-400 lb black bear and a 1,000 lb grizzly. Whether you're in the forest or the mountains or on the plains -- and where that might be -- will determine what you carry. A .45ACP...

I love Mas Ayoob's take on anything, but I have to also ask about more Hellcat articles. I've had my original since they came out and love it. I've added a Veridian red laser and Powder River Precision trigger, which is awesome. I appendix carry with a Crossbreed holster. It's a great CCW...

You call it spot on. What are you using the firearm for? For target and home defense, pick your poison. For CCW, shorter people, like me, have trouble conceal carrying a full size .45, but a Commander-size gun is not impossible. I like to appendix carry and appreciate the Springfield Hellcat for...

I'm not a fan of Glocks. I love the 1911. However, the Glock 17 9mm has been around since 1983 as a production pistol. 40+ years is quite a fad! ;-)

"In a prepared statement, Andersen’s attorney Guy Relford indicated that Indiana’s "Castle Doctrine" of self-defense would apply to this case and, 'law allows a person to use reasonable force, including deadly force, if he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent an unlawful...

I had a Colt Series 70 5-inch I bought back in the late 70s. I added sights and an extended slide release. I was always happy with the trigger. Your 3 lb trigger sounds light. I shot a friend's "tuned" Gold Cup a number of years ago and it scared me. You have a 3 lb trigger; he claimed his was 2...
