Posted by: | Comments
Gen 4 Glock pistols was one of the topics discussed by Michael Bane on his Down Range Radio podcast this week. Bane did not suggest any new information, but did confirm the same information Eric Shelton reported on the Handgun Podcast last week. Bane also suggested the new Glock will look very similar to the old Glock.

Jim Shepherd at The Shooting Wire is reporting Remington is getting back into the handgun market. Shepherd reported he received and verified an internal Remington memo that confirms Remington’s return to manufacturing handguns.
Shepherd reports the first Remington pistol will be a 1911, which may be seen at the 2010 SHOT Show. For more information, check out The Shooting Wire.

Hornady 6.5 Grendel Hunting Ammunition
Posted by: | Comments
Hornady has introduced several new hunting loads for 2010 including this one for the 6.5 Grendel. Pushing a 123 grain Hornady A-MAX bullet at 2620 fps (1619 ft-lbs), this load gives the AR-platform guns a wider range of choices when hunting thin-skinned, medium sized game.
Additionally, Hornady stated they will also begin selling 6.5 Grendel brass and reloading dies to allow shooters to custom load their own cartridges.
Hornady 7.62×39 V-MAX Loads

Hornady announced a new load for the 7.62×39 cartridge. The new load in Hornady’s Custom line is a steel-cased, Berdan primed round topped with a 123 grain V-MAX bullet. Muzzle velocity is rated at 2350 fps, which puts energy at 1508 ft-lbs.
Hornady’s V-MAX bullet has been popular with shooters, and with the number of AK and SKS variants on the market, I would venture to guess this will be a good seller for them.
DeWalt DPGA-3AAA LED Flashlight Review
Posted by: | Comments
The DeWalt DPGA-3AAA LED flashlight is one of a series of DeWalt flashlights I have reviewed this year. Fitting neatly between the sizes of the DPGA-3D full size flashlight and the pocket-sized DPGA-1AAT, the 3AAA has a number of features to make it a good choice for navigation lighting, work lighting, or even as a tactical light in a pinch. I found the light to be very solid, and it worked without any problems throughout the past six months I have been using it.
General Features
Like the other DeWalt flashlights, the 3AAA uses a CREE XLamp LED. The 3AAA is rated at 80 lumens (total light output). Like other LED flashlights, the 3AAA’s light is a much whiter light than regular incandescent bulbs, which tend to be yellow. The center beam is well focused, providing a good spot across a room. The flashlight also throws a good amount of less intense light around the center focus.
