DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster Review

By Richard on August 31, 2009 2 Comments

desantis_nemesis_05a

Ed. note:  The Nemesis has been updated, and a review of the new model Nemesis is here.

The DeSantis Nemesis is a synthetic holster designed to carry a wide range of compact handguns in a pants pocket. Compared to many holsters on the market, the Nemesis is relatively inexpensive option to carry a concealed firearm. During my review, I found the Nemesis to be a quality holster, but with two small problems that I explain below.

I purchased a Nemesis holster to carry my S&W 642 revolver. The 642 is my “everywhere, all-the-time” kind of gun. Light enough to go everywhere, yet still chambered in a respectable caliber (.38 Special).

The Nemesis did a good job of hiding the outline of the revolver in a loose fitting pocket. In a pair of cargo shorts, it would be highly unlikely anyone would notice the gun, much less identify it as such. In a regular pair of jeans, the Desantis holster still did a respectable job, though the naturally closer fitting cut of the jeans made the gun a little more obvious than I would have liked. With a pair of relaxed casual pants like Dockers, the gun was well concealed. Read More…

Get an AK-47 with Your Next Haircut

By Richard on August 29, 2009 No Comments

God, Guns, Guts, and Real Good Haircuts…or so claims the Kentucky barbershop that is giving away an AK-47 to one lucky winner in an raffle.  Get a haircut, get a ticket.  If you are an NRA member, that doubles to two tickets.  Not an NRA member, but you join in the barber shop, take six tickets.


I wish the barbershops around me would do this!

Extreme Shock Ammunition Introduces Gripwell and Lightwell

By Richard on August 27, 2009 No Comments

extremeshok_maggripExtreme Shock Ammunition, known for producing the world’s most advanced ammunition, introduces two new products, the Extreme Shock Gripwell and the Extreme Shock Lightwell.

These two products are built for use with an M4 or AR-15 to offer better grip, allow for faster reloads, improve stance for CQB and protect the gun itself.

The Gripwell allows the operator to use the magazine well as a grip and creates a magazine funnel to reduce reload time.  It weighs only 110 grams and is independent of the barrel length so it can be interchanged between full length and carbine length weapons. Read More…

LaserLyte Introduces the Laser Trainer Pro

By Richard on August 27, 2009 3 Comments

laserlyte_trainer3LaserLyte introduced a new training laser: the LaserLyte Laser Trainer Pro.  In a nutshell, this device adjusts to fit the barrels of most handguns.  Once inserted into the barrel, the device will flash a laser each time it “hears” the hammer fall.

The idea is you would use this device while dry firing to make sure that you are properly exercising the fundamentals of accurate shooting (especially trigger control) and the bullets would have gone where you thought they would have.  If the laser shines someplace different than where you were aiming, then you know something is off, and you can set about correcting your shooting.

In a time when ammo is both scarce and expensive, this little device could be valuable for anyone who practices with dry firing.  See the video below for a demonstration of how the Laser Trainer Pro works. Read More…

Buffalo Bore’s .45 Auto Rim

By Aaron on August 26, 2009 No Comments

Buffalo Bore is now manufacturing the .45 Auto Rim in four loadings: two standard pressure and two “+P”.

buffalo_bore_autorimIn standard pressure, you can get a 200 gr JHP at a little over 1000 fps (444+ ft-lb) out of a 4″ S&W revolver.  The 255 gr hard cast FP is clocking almost 870 fps (410+ ft-lb) out of the same 4″ Smith.

With the “+P” designation, the 200 JHP is sizzling at almost 1200 fps (635 ft-lb) out of the 4″ S&W.  The hard cast 255 gr FP is moving at more than 1030 fps (570+ ft-lb).  These are amazing numbers.  It should be noted that there is not a SAAMI specification for “+P” in the .45 Auto Rim.  Consequently, use only a modern firearm with the +P ammunition.  Buffalo Bore does state that the +P loads are safe to use in all post-WWII revolvers chambered for the .45 ACP.
