So, stopped by one of my local guys; seems the HK rep had been through there, gave them a bunch of HK gear… Get a case and a towel (always know where your towel is!)… Couldn’t resist the coozie… Even got a $100 gift card to the HK store (not pictured). They were kinda expensive, I...

I want one. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/gun-review-mossberg-410-590-shotgun-review/

Went by the local place after lunch today, just looking (famous last words). Played with a Girsan MC14T—I like it; on the short list. Played with a Canik Mete subcompact…this is a very nice pistol, and if I was looking for a micro 9, it would be short listed, over an Sig P365 or Hellcat...

The G25–a 15rd, doublestack .380 never available outside of LE/M in the US is finally for sale. https://www.guns.com/news/2023/12/15/unobtanium-achieved-the-rare-glock-25-380-is-now-on-the-us-market AIM has them for $500…

Seriously…I got nothin’.

So, I was talkin’ with @Bassbob in the used gun thread, saying I was going to do a gun shop circuit… 45 minutes later, give or take, I’m filling out a 4473. Walked into my local guy, nothing struck my fancy…and then someone else walked in, and had a trade-in. Nice blue S&W case. Opens...

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-halts-exports-most-civilian-firearms-90-days-2023-10-27/ Hmm. Supplies should go up here in the US, then…

I was kinda bummed; I was supposed to go pheasant hunting this weekend with a buddy, but…the weather is absolute crap. Rain (and a little snow this morning), 30mph wind, and a windchill (currently) of 17°…no fun. And tomorrow will be worse. So…I decided to swing by a few gun stores; second...

Launch a rifle grenade with your 20”Hellion… https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2023/10/19/launching-a-rifle-grenade-with-the-20-hellion/ Now I know I need one.

Been looking for one of these for a while…VP9 Match. It’s a freakin’ machine….four 20rd mags, O-ring stabilized 5.5” barrel, optics ready, second RSA for (I assume) light loads. Squee.

Sometimes, guns just…jump out at you when you’re looking at them. Felt crazy good holding it, and the whole package…if it runs as well as it feels, it’s gonna be a keeper. And it’s a good package, too; 2x23rd mags and one 17rd; carrying case/sling pack… Slapped my spare PRO on it… Compact...

https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2023/08/30/springfield-hellion-bayonet-waffentechnik-b2k/ Made in Germany, Croatian issue…looks like some nice kit. I wonder if the fact that it’s also going to come in OD that we’ll see different color furniture for the Hellion.

I was hesitant to start this; I thought the original series was on of the few that had an almost perfect arc, and ended brilliantly… That said…watched the first episode, and I’m in. Interested to see where this goes.

https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2023/06/26/22lr-vs-700-yard-soda-can/ Love those setups…and dang, it would be fun…

https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2023/06/russia-crisis-coup-prigozhin/674516/ Part of me thinks “maskirovka”—that this is literally a false flag. On the other hand…if it’s real, it’s gonna be damn scary.

Sigh. Couldn’t help myself. Updates when I get home…

So… Got my hands on what I’m calling an “Immediate Interdiction Rifle”. It’s a mid-caliber (6-8mm) semi-auto. Realistic engagement distances 50-440 yards. Glass recommendations? Consider prices to be….well, it’s an object, but I also know good glass is worth what you pay for it. I’ve got...

I give you… The Shocker. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2023/05/16/st-inc-shocker/ Not a paintballer, and I’m not getting one…but it’s interesting…

So, I finally hit the range today… From bottom to top: RIA Pro Ultra 9mm; P30Lw/Compensator (aka John Wick), Prodigy, VP9L (control—I shoot it well, or so I thought). Not pictured was a Buckmark, which I shot first to warm up a little; hadn’t pulled a live trigger since November, and that was...
