. The folks at Shadow Systems have been making components for Glock pattern pistols for years – most notably their quality slides and barrels.

Maybe it’s the affordable ammo or the novelty of a .223 Rem caliber bolt action. I can’t quite say why, but when the CZ 600 Trail hit the market, I was entranced.

We finally wrapped up our Primary Arms pistol lower build, out of all the orphan parts. We had a lot of fun completely disregarding color schemes as we perused the sale pages and bought whatever was in stock. Which ended us with a 2A lower, radian safety, mag pul grip, and an AR Gold Trigger. Oh, and a CMMG RipBrace since this was a pistol configuration, one of my favorite parts to hit the market this year. So finally, we can get to the point. And the point was to make a 7.62×39 pistol from AR parts.

I am really happy to see such a high-quality light hit the market at such a low price. Pistol lights are absolutely fantastic for nightstand or combat guns, and I highly recommend them. With Nightstick branded lights, that tactical advantage just became a reality for a whole new segment of consumers.

Red dots sights (RDS) on handguns have been around competitive shooting, SWAT teams, and special military units for decades.

In today’s day and age with many people “building” or assembling AR’s out of random parts kits, reliable cycling can get tricky, especially when adding in suppressors.

In the winter of 2004 a joint US, Iraqi, and British operation kicked off in Iraq. Local forces called it Operation Al-Fajr. Allied troops titled it Operation Phantom Fury. The world came to know this simply epic scrap as the Second Battle of Fallujah.

Lionheart is a gun maker that I would refer to as a ’boutique’ brand. Their approach to the handgun is both unique and derivative, taking design and function from here and there – putting them together, and then adding their own twists.

It is evident that the team at POF put a lot of thought into this design and carried through with high standards in their manufacturing and assembly.
