Zombie Annihilator
The Zombie Annihilator: The first zombie-related product that I actually think is pretty darn cool. I stumbled across the Annihilator when I went to the Yankee Hill Machine Co. (YHM) website looking for an upper for a new lower I am going to review in the near future. When I hit the site, I saw…

Good news grandma! With the new Zombie Knife from Browning, we can silently hack and slash our way through the horde of undead corpses shambling our way. Put that away!

Cheapest Glock Magazines
“Where can I get the cheapest Glock magazines?” is one of the more common e-mails I get. Considering how popular the pistols are, it really shouldn’t be a surprise. As you may suspect, different retailers will run specials or sales on Glock mags, so prices can and will vary. However, for standard magazines, I typically expect…

Pink Rifles from Smith & Wesson
I don’t much care for pink guns. Too many of them are simply the standard model firearm, dipped in pink and marketed as a “gun for girls.” However, I do like pink guns with attitude. That is exactly what Smith & Wesson is selling through Talo Distributors. S&W is making two custom versions of the…

Argh…Airsoft Goes Zombie
One day, the shooting community will look back on the zombie meme and think “WTF?” Right now, however, the industry is running at ludicrous speed toward all things zombie. The latest aboard the crazy train? Crosman. The Undead Apocalypse line of airsoft shotguns, pistols, ammo and targets are all part of the “green is in”…

Story of the 9mm in U.S. History
Back in 1997, I worked on a documentary called Story of the 9mm in U.S. History. This was a video documentary published by a small video publisher in Kennesaw, GA called Four Gun Productions. It was not a huge international success, though it was picked up and distributed across America by Calibre Press. I was…

New Saiga-12 Shotgun
Izhmash announced the development of a new Saiga-12 shotgun variant for practical shooting competition. Saiga-12 fans will likely notice a few differences just from the photo.

25,000 FPS Handgun Cartridge
In 2005, Smith & Wesson filed a patent application for a “high velocity ammunition system and firearm.” The abstract stated the bullets fired from this handgun would achieve muzzle velocities in excess of 25,000 fps! Let’s put 25,000 fps into context… When I started reading the patent application, I expected that the 25,000 fps was a…

Guns of Total Recall
It looks like yet another Hollywood remake is rolling off the line. This time it is Total Recall. Watching the trailer I spotted a few different guns that I thought were interesting: the Chiappa Rhino and the KRISS Vector TDI. The Rhino has that cyberpunk, retro-future look that seems to fit the mood of the new…

Buffalo Bore is loading .38 Special ammo specifically for short-barreled guns. The load uses a Barnes 110 grain TAC-XP bullet, which is an all-copper bullet.

Portable Reloading
Reloading cartridges in the field is something that has been done by hunters and partisans for as long as we have had firearms. Modern soldiers and sportsmen have access to seemingly unlimited supplies of factory loaded ammunition, but handloading ammo while in the field is still a great skill to learn. You never know when…
