The limited edition Smith and Wesson Bone Collector 460 as seen at SHOT Show 2015. This is a hand cannon.

When I was kicking around in the FNH booth at the SHOT Show today, I caught wind of a special project the folks at FN have in the works. The press release is below, and worth reading. Proceeds from the auction go to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Click on the Buy Now on GunsAmerica link below to see the auction and place your bid.

Tac-Con made a big spalsh with the 3MR, an AR trigger that runs almost as fast as full-auto. Now they’re adding to that trigger and taking on the AK platform, too. Drop in triggers for AKs and the Saiga 12? That’s just half of the news. The 3MR is evolving too. Now the lightning fast trigger has a third position–a two-stage trigger with a one pound break. Speed and accuracy from one trigger–and the price is coming down.

From Iraqveteran8888, “In this video we attempt to burn out an AR-15 upper on an M16 lower. We are testing the durability of not only the upper receiver assemby but few specific products as well including the SRC Relia-Bolt BCG, Geissele Super Gas Block, and one of the most affordable AR barrels on the market from Faxon Firearms.”

For me, a pistol without a rail is more or less a novelty. I shoot them at the range, but leave it at that. I won’t carry a full-size pistol if I can’t attach some implement of illumination to its frame.

Unsuppressed, you can figure the noise level at about 165 decibels, varying, of course with rifle type, barrel length, etc. That’s  louder [...]

Fans of the venerable 10/22 typically have only one gripe with the gun: the trigger. Even so, the stock triggers on 10/22s are better than much of the competition. But Ruger now offers an improved trigger for the 10/22 and Charger. The BX-Trigger is a vast improvement over the stock Ruger triggers and is incredibly easy and quick to install.

If you’re serious about auto-loading shotguns, you need to know about Freedom Fighter Tactical. The company makes serious upgrades for guns like the Benelli M4. We’ve had a chance to run some on our M4 and the we like results.

Getting a gun safe is the first step in protecting your guns. But you can’t always stay with your safe, and no safe is 100% immune to theft or fire. Liberty Safes has an innovative solution. Their SafElert system allows for text and email alerts, and real-time monitoring of the safe. And it isn’t going to break the bank, either.
