Crimson Trace Recall of LG-432 Lasergrips for Sig Sauer P230 and P232
Posted by: | Comments
Crimson 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
Posted by: | CommentsSomehow 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→
