1,000 Round Glock Torture Test

Posted on by doblogadmin in Reviews, Firearms, Handguns

We all know that Glocks are tough. Yeah, you may prefer a different gun and maybe you have reasons to dislike Gaston’s creation. But, when it comes down to it, you have to admit that Glocks are pretty tough and very reliable. So, what if you put 1000 rounds through a brand new gun? Do you think you might have a malfunction or two? Let’s say you take that gun toss it in the lake and then drag it down a gravel road for a while. Would you expect that gun to still fire reliably? Well, that’s exactly what Lewis Frost of Phobos Solutions did in this video from Trigger Time TV. Continue reading →

The RPK Squad Automatic Weapon: Simply Superb

Posted on by Will Dabbs in Firearms, Rifles

On a certain level the Ruchnoi Pulemet Kalashnikova or RPK seems uninspired. The action is standard Kalashnikov, the barrel is fixed, and the magazine feed limits its capacity to 75 rounds. However, it is in its very simplicity and utilitarian execution that the RPK demonstrates its excellence. Continue reading →

Kel-Tec PMR-30 Out of the Box and into the Match Review!

Posted on by Defender Outdoors Blogger in Reviews, Competition, Firearms, Handguns

The Kel-Tec PMR-30 has been out for quite a while, being introduced way back in 2011. But, in typical Kel-Tec form, PMR-30’s were functionally mythical: they were no where to be found, always out of stock, and you’d hear stories at the gun range about how somebody’s neighbor’s brother’s buddy got their hands on a PMR-30 and loved it (or hated it, depending on the story.) Then as PMR-30s started to become more plentiful, there was no .22 Mag ammo available. And so, our good friend Pat Kelley has held onto a brand-new, never-before-shot PMR-30 for over a year. Luckily for us, the wait is over and Pat is taking Kel-Tec’s 30 round .22 WMR handgun to the range for an Out of the Box and into the Match review! Watch here: Continue reading →

–By Jason Hanson, former CIA Officer and New York Times bestselling author.

If you’ve ever gone to a gun store and purchased a firearm or just picked up a gun magazine, you have undoubtedly been inundated with the many, many gun accessories you can add to your firearm.

The short answer is yes — as long as you purchase the right accessories. Continue reading →

How I Quit Caring About Printing and Learned to Love My Full Sized Gun

Posted on by doblogadmin in How To, Handguns

When I was first issued my concealed carry permit I went with what I thought was the wise route in weapon selection. I had read from many others that most new concealed carriers carried a gun much too large.

So I went with small, and affordable and ended up with a Bersa 380. It was a great little gun for the price, and it was easy to carry. From there I eventually moved to a Glock 26 and then to a Walther PPS. They were all compact guns that were small, lightweight, and easy to carry. They were also limited in capacity, had a short sight radius, and often grips too small to fully fill the hand. Continue reading →
