SIG P224 Review

By Randy on January 28, 2012 10 Comments

Ed. note: This SIG P224 review is from the Media Day at the Range at the 2012 SHOT Show.  Two of our writers, Aaron and Randall, got to spend some time shooting and evaluating the new SIG SAUER pistol.

As Aaron and I wandered down the long dusty row of vendors at 2012 SHOT Show Media Day at the Range, we spied the blue and white Sig Sauer banner. We ducked into a line of writers and fairly giggled to each other, “P224!”

I have wanted to shoot one of these since they were announced. Richard has written some previous articles on the compact SIG P224, so I won’t retrace his steps…

SIG P224 Review

We waited quite some time to reach the front of the line, but it was worth it. I have carried a .40 cal. Sig Sauer P226 or P226R for well over a decade, so I am somewhat familiar with Sig’s work.

Diamondback RTS Shotgun

By Randy on January 19, 2012 6 Comments

(Ed. note:  We found the Diamondback RTS shotgun at the 2012 SHOT Show.  It is a working prototype right now, but Diamondback hopes to have them shipping sooner rather than later.  We’ll keep you updated.)

Diamondback RTS Shotgun

I went to the Diamondback Firearms 2012 SHOT Show booth with the intent to give them some positive feedback on their DB9 I now have in long term testing. Then something caught my eye leaning against a wall behind their display cases.

“Got anything new?” I asked with a raised eyebrow and a stare at the item in question. Following my gaze, the rep came out from behind the counter with a pump action shotgun in his hands. It had the Diamondback logo on the receiver.

SRM Arms Model 1216 Shotgun

By Randy on January 18, 2012 2 Comments

I was able to handle the SRM Arms semi-automatic Model 1216 shotgun at 2012 SHOT Show. One of the interesting features of this particular scattergun is the revolving high capacity magazine. Instead of a single magazine tube, the SRM 1216 has four tubes that quadruple the amount ammunition loaded.

Changing magazine tubes is accomplished by flipping a simple thumb lever located on each side of the front of the magazine. This releases the action and the entire tube assembly is rotated by the operator.

I tried rotating the magazine tubes and found it to be very intuitive. It is obviously much faster than stoking a regular tube full of loose shotgun shells to up your ammo.

Mossberg Shotgun FLEX System

By Randy on January 18, 2012 3 Comments

Mossberg Representative Taaffe Caligiuri was available at the 2012 SHOT Show to show us their new 12 gauge shotgun FLEX system. This is an adaptive shotgun platform that lets the user transform the FLEX 500/590 shotgun using Mossberg’s new Tool-less Locking System (TLS).

Mossberg Shotgun Flex System

The TLS has a specific selection of quick change stocks, forends, and recoil pads that make for a wide flexibility to adapt the configuration of the shotgun to a particular use, from hunting game to tactical applications. The additional ability to change the shotgun’s barrel completes the gun’s metamorphosis.

Zero Tolerance Knives 560/561

By Randy on January 18, 2012 No Comments

At the SHOT Show 2012 Zero Tolerance Knives booth, we caught up with Jim McNair, who gave us a run down of the ZT 560/561 line. This is a new knife for 2012 with a 3.75″ stonewashed blade of Swedish ELMAX steel, which is a high chromium-vanadium steel with exceptional wear and corrosion resistance. The locking mechanism is a thick frame lock.

The left side scale is black (560) or brown (561) G-10 over a titanium liner, while the right side is titanium. Both the G-10 and Ti have what ZT calls 3-D machining for added grip. The titanium is relief cut on the blade sides to decrease weight. The overall knife comes in at 5.8 ounces.

Pincus Shoots Jello

By Randy on January 17, 2012 1 Comments

In this very short video taken at SHOT Show 2012 Media Day, I.C.E. trainer Rob Pincus knocks a very heavy block of ballistics gelatin off its stand with a single round of Winchester PDX1 in 12 gauge. The gel block had a blue jeans material cover.

Pincus does not work for Winchester, but he told us he feels so strongly about the defensive potential of the PDX ammunition that he volunteered to come out and give us a demonstration at the Boulder City, NV range.

The 2 3/4″ PDX1-12 has three 00 buck pellets atop a one ounce slug. Winchester says the shotgun round provides short and long range stopping capabilities.
