When you’re under attack, the speed it takes to reload can determine whether you live or die. Thankfully, this speedloader is proven to work.

As suppressors are gaining popularity despite the time disparity between buying one and actually owning one, more and more companies are popping up producing these valuable shooting accessories. ODIN Works is making their way into this market with the launch of 4 different suppressors in what I would describe as consisting of two different styles.

Pistol Caliber Carbines have earned a place in your gun safe. Fun, inexpensive and easy to shoot, they even have their own competitions. The Mean Arms EndoMag magazine insert converts your Gen 2 or Gen 3 5.56/.223 PMAG® housing into a 9mm magazine and conversion block mating a standard AR lower to your 9mm upper. This idea is simple, effective and brilliant.

Wanting to take advantage of the 300 Blackout cartridge, in Part 2 I wind up back at Q in Portsmouth, New Hampshire to build a silencer, this time helped by Mitch Lessard…

The MK1 Bullpup Chassis is made by MK Machining and allows you to shorten any Remington 700 pattern rifle by nearly a foot without cutting precious inches off of the barrel. There are several reasons this can be advantageous which include the ability to add a suppressor without the gun becoming unreasonably long, putting the weight further back toward the shoulder, making the gun easier to shoot unsupported and shortening the gun to be easier to store and carry.

The new gun at SHOT 2019 was the MP-5. Importers and American companies are supplying clones and new AR pistol caliber carbines now run MP-5 magazines. Quarter Circle 10 (QC10) and Strike Industries (SI) are at the front of that movement and plug the excellent MP-5 magazine into the All-American AR to make a world-class 9mm carbine.

The new SAINT Victor Pistol from Springfield Armory is their latest AR pistol model.  Watch the full SAINT Victor Pistol Unboxing video on GunsAmerica.

Weighing less than 7.5 pounds, the Wing Shot is perfect for new shooters. The lightweight, low noise level and the lack of recoil will let you shoot all day without a sore shoulder and you can hear your coach because you don’t need ear muffs.

Staying comfortable while waiting on deer has the fantastic side effect of, well, being able to stick around and wait for deer. Fortunately for me, sitting against trees was cool this year despite my admittedly bad back and it was all thanks to the latest pack from ALPS OutdoorZ: the Enforcer Predator Pack.
