New Kahr Arms Pistols from SHOT Show 2017

New Kahr Arms Pistols from SHOT Show 2017

{ 12 comments }

Kahr Arms is best known for concealed carry pistols, and that is exactly what they brought to the party this year. The CM line of pistols has new colors, and some new upgrades. The color is Tungsten Grey, with gray most certainly being the favorite new color of the gun industry. The Kahr Arms Tungsten is a darker gray, with a matte finish. It makes for a beautiful gun, and I am starting to really dig this “guns don’t always have to be black” attitude.

A New Classic: The New Colt Gold Cup Trophy—SHOT Show 2017

{ 5 comments }

In one of the biggest surprises of the SHOT Show, Colt has updated the Gold Cup 1911. Fully updated for 2017, the Gold Cup Tropy is going to make 1911 fans very happy. The gun is beautiful in the stainless steel finish we shot. It looks absolutely gorgeous. The sights are a Bo-Mar rear, with a Novak fiber optic front. Every model comes with a national match barrel, and from the factory is available in 9mm or .45 ACP.

All of these are .308 bullets, but as you can see, materials, shape, and weight vary dramatically.

Reloading: Bullet Materials and Shapes

{ 13 comments }

Bullets are bullets, right? Well, not really. There are a wide array of variables in bullet shape, weight, materials, and construction. Each of these variables can have a dramatic impact on the performance, and safety, of any given load. In other words, loading recipe data for one 147-grain, .308 bullet may be incorrect, and even unsafe, for another projectile of equal caliber and weight. Let’s take a closer look at some of the variables and what you need to know about each.

Italian Roundbody SxS 28ga – $1,450 – FAIR Shotguns SHOT Show 2017

This gun is worth checking into if you have always wanted a small gauge field grade dove shotgun, and a traditional side by side fits the bill. The belly is really elegant and tiny, and the stock and wrist seem to be finished as well and as nice a wood grain as you’ll find in any Italian shotgun under $5,000. At $1,400, it’s a steal, and I think it’s because they are trying to get the FAIR name out there.
