Just recently, a flurry of sudden interest has emerged due to my sending a test magazine to a member in hopes of addressing his recurrent 3-Point Jam/Failure to go to battery headaches. It’s a specific type of magazine, that…although is only a slight modification of hundred year-old technology…is largely unnoticed by the large percentage of…
Pumpkin Carving with the BFR in 45-70 In the spirit of Halloween I decided to carve a pumpkin with the Magnum Research Big Framed Revolver, BFR, in .45-70. Thanks to Double Tap 300gr hollow point. Well, my cycloptic Jack-O-Lantern might not win any contests but it was the most fun I have had carving…
I was sent this by a friend and was assured it was correct. I did contact the FBI and the ATF in attempt to verify. The ATF was unaware of such a test and the few folks I spoke to at the FBI had not heard of the test but I was told, if such…
Redfield Accelerator and the Glock 40 When I received the GLOCK 40 MOS 10mm Auto test sample, I wanted an inexpensive sight to test the MOS, Modular Optic System, set up. You can read the review of the Glock 40 MOS by following this link . Looking around, I found the Redfield Accelerator at a deal…
AAC Illusion9 9mm silencer, a new twist. Silencers are rapidly becoming common place, and I see that as a good thing.

Series 70 vs 80, the difference is more than you think. I see a lot of use and misuse of the terms Series 70 and Series 80 when talking about Government Model and Commander pistols so I thought I would lay it out for you all. Once again I am not trying to upset anyone…
1911Headspace Over the years, I’ve had more than a few heated discussions over headspace in the 1911 and other autopistols that headspace on the case mouth…but since this is a 1911 discussion, we’ll focus on that platform. Headspace is determined by the linear measurement from the breechface to the chamber shoulder. This is known as…
Hang onto your boots, There is no such cartridge as the .45 ACP Calm down and take a breath, I am not messing with you I promise. I expect this article will stir up a bunch of controversy but that is not my intention. I hear so many people refer to the .45 Automatic or…
Double D Armory SST, not your father’s AR-15. I met the owner of Double D Armory at The NRA show 2015 as we struck up a conversation about the show, how it was going, and so forth. I found out he was also a former Marine and manufactured boutique AR-15s. It was not long before…
