Crimson Trace Recalls LG-442 Lasergrips for Bersa Thunder and Firestorm

By Richard on July 30, 2009 1 Comments

Crimson Trace issued a recall of all LG-442 Lasergrips designed for the Bersa Thunder and Firestorm pistols.  According the the recall notice sent out by Crimson Trace, the LG-442 may cause the trigger transfer bar spring to detach and render the handgun inoperable.

While Crimson Trace produces high-quality products, this is the second recall they have issued in recent months.  The other recall is on the Crimson trace LG-432 Lasergrips for the Sig Sauer P230 and P232.

If you have LG-442 Lasergrips for your Bersa Thunder or Firestorm, please read the following information on how to exchange your Lasergrips. Read More…

Crimson Trace Recall of LG-432 Lasergrips for Sig Sauer P230 and P232

By Richard on July 30, 2009 No Comments

crimsontrace_432Crimson Trace issued a recall for the LG-432 Lasergrips designed for the Sig Sauer P230 and P232 pistols.  Crimson Trace initiated the recall after receiving reports “…that the LG-432 Lasergrips for Sig Sauer P230 and P232 semi-auto pistols may allow the mainspring to detach when the magazine release is depressed without a magazine in place, rendering the firearm inoperable.”  Yikes!

Crimson Trace is a very good company, and I have always known them to stand behind their products.  If you have a set of LG-432 Lasergrips, please read the following information on the problem and how to receive a replacement set of Lasergrips. Read More…

KAC Chainsaw Machine Gun

By Richard on July 28, 2009 2 Comments

Somehow I missed this gem at the 2009 SHOT Show.  Knight’s Armament showed a new chainsaw-like machine gun, based on the Stoner LMG (light machine gun).  The chainsaw machine gun is belt-fed, chambered in 5.56, and has an integral suppressor and 37mm grenade launcher.

Knight’s said that this machine gun was more of a fun expriment than a serious exercise in a new platform development. Read More…

Remington 870P MAX Tactical Shotgun

By Richard on July 27, 2009 No Comments

From Remington:

remington_870pRemington now swings the pendulum even further on 870P Police shotgun line offerings. The new 870P MAX carries maximum features for tactical shotgun application.

The buildup starts with the standard 870 Police Parkerized 18″ barrel shotgun. We’ve included the Davis Speedfeed® IV-s 13″ LOP full pistol grip buttstock for ease of handling and comfort while wearing a vest. (Stock is 1″ shorter than a standard full length stock.) Read More…

Tampa Bay Area Shooting Ranges – Brass Question

By Richard on July 25, 2009 No Comments

I am looking for a Tampa Bay area range that is willing to sell their range brass in bulk.  The range I was buying from before (by the 55 gallon drum) closed its doors, and I need a new source.  Please contact me if you know of any ranges that want to sell their brass.

Primers Still Tough To Come By

By Richard on July 21, 2009 1 Comments

Sinclair International, a Brownells company, posted on Twitter that they received a shipment of Remington small rifle primers, and asked everyone to limit orders to 5000. In less than 28 minutes, they were completely sold out.

I’m getting tired of the shortages…

Addax Tactical Gas Piston AR-15 Upper

Addax Tactical AR-15 gas piston uppers.

There has been much talk about improving the AR-15/M-16 with a gas piston system rather than the direct gas impingement system in use since the 60′s.  Companies like the Ruger have attempted to capitalize on this trend by producing gas piston rifles such as the SR556.  If you already own an AR or two, you can retrofit your gun with a piston system, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars.

Addax Tactical makes a gas piston upper for the AR-platform called the ATAC-GPU or Advanced Tactical AR Carbine Gas Piston Upper.  Addax Tactical states the ATAC-GPU “utilizes a specially designed, self regulating, long stroke piston system for enhanced dwell time and lower recoil.” Read More…
