Browning Black Label Shadowfax Knife

By Aaron on February 22, 2012 No Comments

Aaron got a chance to visit with Jared Wihongi and talk about the Browning Black Label Shadowfax knive at the 2012 SHOT Show in Las Vegas. – Ed.

Browning Black Label Shadowfax Knife

John M. Browning is best known for his firearms. He is perhaps the most influential firearms designer of all time. His incredible genius produced the Winchester Model 1897 pump action shotgun, and the Winchester Model 1886, 1887, 1894 and 1895 lever action repeating rifles. He also designed the Remington Model 11 semi-auto shotgun, the Colt Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol, and later M2 “Ma Deuce” .50 caliber machine gun, as well as, the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle), and the Browning Hi- Power Model P-35 9mm handgun. His namesake company has a storied past, present, and future in the firearms industry. It’s been about 40 years ago that the Browning Company began producing a nice line of hunting knives. During that time they’ve developed a good reputation for quality knives.

BROWNING BLACK LABEL KNIVES

Now Browning is venturing into the world of tactical knife making. The Black Label series of knives by Browning are meant to make a bold statement in a market that is rapidly becoming as tight and competitive as the most precision of firearms market. And the Black Label knives aim to jump into the fore front of this area of knife making with their very first.

LaserLyte Laser for Springfield XD

By Richard on February 22, 2012 No Comments

LaserLyte Springfield XDLaserLyte announced the re-introduction of a rear sight laser for the Springfield XD and XD(M) pistols.  The LaserLyte rear sight lasers are a rear sight replacement that mounts a red laser at the back of the pistol’s slide.

The rear sight looks like the standard “box” rear sight found on Glock pistols, with two small barrels on either side of the sight.  The system seems to work well for many people.

Battery life is pretty good, with a stated run-time of five hours in normal use.  The laser also has a pulse mode, which extends battery life to 10 hours of use.

MSRP is $139.95, but Amazon currently has them for about $100.

CRKT Eat’n Tool

By Aaron on February 20, 2012 4 Comments

While investigating the new knives at the CRKT booth at SHOT SHOW I was shown a handy little item by the representative. Called the CRKT Eat’N Tool, this survival tool incorporates several of the necessary items for outdoor survival, into a nice compact frame that is easily carried in a pocket or attached to gear. The Eat’N Tool is apart of CRKT’s I.D. Works or Inspired Design.

CRKT Eat'N Tool

CRKT is, by far, known more for some of today’s most outstanding knife designs than any of their other designs. Founded in 1994 by Rod Bremmer, CRKT is located in Tualatin, Oregon which is a suburb southwest of Portland. Although Tualatin has a population of only about 26,000, it is the home to both CRKT, and Kershaw, another well known knife manufacturer. The area boasts some of the most beautiful hunting, fishing, camping, and mountaineering areas in the country, and I’m sure a constant inspiration for CRKT designs.

The Eat’N Tool has the following survival tools combined in one:

  • Fork/Spoon combination
  • Bottle opener
  • (3) Metric wrenches (6mm, 8mm, 10mm)
  • Standard screw driver/pry edge, and a
  • Attachment carabiner (non-weight bearing).

CrossBreed SuperSlide Holster

By Richard on February 18, 2012 No Comments

CrossBreed Holsters introduced a new outside-the-waistband holster called the SuperSlide.  The SuperSlide is a leather and Kydex holster with belt slots that allow the user to carry the gun on either the strong side, or as a crossdraw on the reaction (weak) side.

CrossBreed SuperSlide

I’ve been using crossdraw carry for some road trips recently, and I am finding that it works very well for me.  It is easily accessible and more comfortable than my normal inside-the-waistband (strongside) carry.  Having a single holster than can cover two modes of carry is a nice optionif it performs well.  CrossBreed has a very good reputation for quality and customer service, so I have no reason to think this holster will not work well.

Winchester Ammunition .22 WMR PDX1 Video

By Richard on February 18, 2012 No Comments

This is a high-speed video of the new Winchester Ammunition .22 WMR load in the PDX1 line.

The PDX1 .22 WMR cartridge uses a 45 grain JHP bullet traveling at 1200 fps from a 2″ barrel.  While not spectacular when compared with a 9mm or .45 ACP round, it would seem to be a pretty good load for a .22 rimfire.

The video shows a significant amount of tissue upset in the gelatin video.  Also, it appears the bullet penetrates to about 12″, the “magical” depth arbitrarily chosen some years ago.

Rock River Arms Predator Rifle – Fred Eichler Series

By Richard on February 17, 2012 No Comments

Rock River Arms is now producing a special rifle designed in conjunction with hunter Fred Eichler.  The new Fred Eichler Series Predator rifle is an AR-style rifle chambered in .223.

Rock River Predator Rifle

The rifle has a 16″ barrel with a 1:8 twist.  The handguard is free floated with a full length rail on the top, and short rails at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions.  The handguard sports coyote track cutouts, which are a nice detail on this specialized rifle.

Lee Ermey – Librarian

By Richard on February 17, 2012 No Comments

Lee Ermey is exploring his feelings as a local librarian…

Well, actually, he is encouraging gun owners to register to vote.  I’m not going to tell you who to vote for, but if you are a US citizen you should be participating in the election process.  Too many people sitting on the sidelines have given us the corrupt system we now have.

Glock – Book Review Coming

By Richard on February 16, 2012 1 Comments

Glock Book ReviewThe new “tell all” book on Glock, called “Glock”, has gotten a lot of press recently, and I have wanted to read it.  As it happens, the publisher sent me a review copy of the book, which I have already started reading.

It is not a boring book…

I’m sure some of you have read other reviews on the book already, but I have not.  I purposefully avoided reviews so I could form my own opinions as I read it.  I already have a few interesting observations, which I will share with you very soon.

For those that want their own copy of the book, Amazon has them in stock for about $17.
