Primary Arms Optics has unveiled their PLx HTX-1. I find a few things about this interesting, as follows: Check out Primary Arms’ video on the optic and let me know what you think.
Primary Arms Optics PLx HTX-1: Modular Mounting
Negligent Discharge on Camera
Frightening event. It appears as if he had an unholstered pistol in his pocket and caused a discharge while rooting around with his hand in there. PLEASE follow all safety rules and ensure the safety of your equipment!
Glock x Aimpoint
I am not a big fan of plate mounting options for optics on pistols. I don’t think they’re as robust as they should be, often due to poor thread engagement of the screws, and due to minimal mechanical interface between the slide and the optic. In addition, plate mounts typically push the optic up enough […]
Cameras Don’t Prevent Nighttime Invasion
In Madison, Indiana, a homeowner installed additional security cameras after his garage was broken into. However, this didn’t prevent a 4am home invasion the day after Christmas. Apparently undeterred from security cameras, two men are dead after a home invasion. Two men were shot and killed during an alleged home invasion in Jefferson County, Indiana, […]
Man shot, killed during attempted break-in
This story describes a 2am attempted break in to a home. A couple heard someone trying to break in, they prepared to defend themselves and gunfire happened while one of them was calling 911. A caller told dispatchers that her boyfriend heard someone trying to break in and he went to grab his gun. On […]
Man Defends Family during 1am Home Break-In
Phoenix police responded to a report of shots fired: Police say several armed suspects forced themselves inside the home. That’s when a man inside the house was armed and began firing at the group of suspects, striking one of them. Authorities say the rest of the suspects ran off from the area. Once officers arrived, […]
Be ye angry, and sin not

Girsan 2311 Brat
The Turkish company Girsan has released a stubby 2011 pistol chambered in either 9mm or 45acp. Both pistols feature a short 3.4″ barrel and full size grips, with 17 round capacity (9mm) and 11 round capacity (45acp). They’re dubbed the “Brat.” While I’ve not handled this particular variant, we have tested the larger size pistols […]
“If you want to break into someone’s home, you should expect to be shot.”
Just after 9 p.m. Thursday, the Manatee County [FL] homeowner saw the two men entering the back of his house on his video surveillance system, according to authorities. “He knew something bad was about to happen and he didn’t stall,” MCSO Sheriff Rick Wells said during a press conference Friday. “He grabbed his firearm [and] […]
Taurus GX2: Economical Compact with a Rail
Taurus just announced their GX2, a striker-fired compact pistol with 13 round capacity and a rail. At the price point (I found it under $250 on the web), you might forgive that it doesn’t have an optic cut. We have provided our premium holsters for Taurus products (fitted with a light) in the past. Is […]
