And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. I often pray that the work of our hands would serve others faithfully. This captures much of that sentiment. It starts by praying that […]
I had lunch with my elder this week, and mentioned I was going to Las Vegas for Shot Show 2025. He talked about going there once and seeing the sign at the airport stating that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. He laughed, stating it doesn’t. How true. I went home and searched the […]
Nitecore announced their EDC29, which has a staggering max output of 6,500 lumens and 40,230 candela. It has a tail switch that allows quick access to full output, available lockout mode, pocket clip, battery display, and adjustable brightness. I personally like these flat lights and will be interested to check it out at Shot Show […]
Streamlight announced their Megastream pocket carry light this week. It’s got 3 modes, is recharageable with the battery inside or outside the light, and has a pocket clip. Perhaps the most interesting part are the specs: 1,800 lumens and 26,000 candela. My personal minimum for a defensive handheld is 20,000 candela. Lights of that strength […]
Kel-Tec has released a lightweight defensive pistol with one interesting feature for those of you in certain states. The PR57 is (you guessed it) chambered in the lightning fast 5.7 round. Due in part to the rotating barrel, this comes in at just over half the weight of the next lightest pistol chambered in 5.7mm, […]
I saw this interesting image posted on AR15.com. Perhaps Canik will have a new pistol for us again this year? It appears to be a compensated MC9L but slightly longer, and with different slide cuts and more aggressive grip stippling. I’ll have to check out the Canik booth to see if the rumor is true!
A tragic incident with few details has a 17 year old brother dead due to an “accidental discharge” by his 15-year-old brother. News says: Police responded to a shooting that happened at a home in Texas City just before 1:30 a.m. and found 17-year-old Joshua Gonzales dead on arrival, the Texas City Police Department said. […]
Shortening or lengthening the barrels or grips of pistols seems to result in endless variations. Springfield has another variation of their Prodigy, the “Compact.” It’s available in either 3.5″ or 4.25″ barrel configurations, and features a grip shortened to fit a 15-round magazine. The pistol also has a shortened beavertail to make it a little […]
FN’s Reflex gets the XL treatment. Taking their popular Reflex, FN has made it larger. This does tend to make the pistol easier to shoot. Features include: It’s also interesting to take note that instead of being striker-fired, like much of the industry, the Reflex pistols have an integral hammer fire. If you’re looking for […]
It looks like one of the largest steel magazine manufacturer is going to make Glock mags. The G17 magazine holds 18 rounds, providing +1 in a flush fit magazine. The G19 mag holds the same amount, but appears to have a baseplate that extends upward to fill the gap. One of the nice things is […]
