AR-15

SIG Sauer’s MPX Copperhead is a 9mm pistol. But don’t pigeonhole it with the other handguns you’ve experienced. It’s a versatile firearm that’ll eat anything you throw in it and fit almost anywhere you’d like to keep it.

One persons “ultimate” very well may not be another’s, but I think this build should spark more than a little interest. The greatest drawback to trying to do an ultimate build is that ultimate will probably cost more than many are willing to spend at one time on an AR, but that’s the beauty of an AR platform, all the upgrades can be done one at a time due to the modularity of AR parts.

Bargain bin ARs are a dime a dozen, but if you’re looking for a more premium option at a great price, check out the new RRAGE Carbine from Rock River Arms. The RRAGE is the newest iteration of Rock River’s LAR-15 series, but it hits a slightly lower price point than its predecessors—without sacrificing quality or performance.

Sig responded to the customer’s needs by releasing the MPX PCC in November 2018 with upgrades to make their platform competition ready directly from the factory. Input from the members of Sig’s shooting team and influences from the practical shooting community are obvious in the performance enhancing upgrades.

Let’s face it, in the AR-15 world it’s easy to get lost in the vanilla black-rifle weeds. We reached a saturation point of sorts with semi-auto gas-operated systems quite a while ago, especially in terms of plain black rigs offered by “manufacturers” who simply assemble branded components provided by true third-party bulk-producers. Even so, some not-so-vanilla iterations have certainly risen above the others and deserve to be called out. The Brenton USA Ranger Carbon Hunter is one of them.

Savage has been teasing us with an entry into the 224 Valkyrie arena since January, and today it is finally a reality. Fittingly, and maybe surprisingly, the first Savage in caliber is an MSR or Modern Sporting Rifle.

It has been an excellent year for us 10mm Cultists, our cartridge of choice has grown by leaps and bounds. New guns, a gaggle of new factory loads, and an upswing in popularity have made 10mm more available than ever. With so many options, I felt compelled to write a post on alchemy write a review of available factory ammo and how it performed in the real world. A test like that requires, obviously, a gaggle of available pistol barrel lengths. But in my opinion, it should also be done from a carbine, as the 10mm gains so much from a rifle length barrel. So I went looking for one. And to the lasting shame of the firearms manufacturing world, I found very slim options.

Arguably the least development we have seen on new firearms is in the submachine gun arena. Once the coolest kid on the block, sub guns were a staple of counter-terrorism forces, the world over. Despite many attempts to usurp it, the MP-5 was far and away the weapon of choice.

Diamondback Firearms DB15 Pistol is now available in 7.62×39. Produced in many variants, we evaluate the 10-inch barreled pistol with Maxim Defense stabilizing brace. Is it the handgun hunters dream come true?
