At midnight last night, SilencerCo announced a new Suppressor, the Hybrid 46M. I actually had the opportunity to spend most of the day Saturday at SilencerCo with the new 46M.

Just a few short years ago, we had a choice between carrying a 9mm handgun that was micro-sized and easily (and comfortably) concealed, but held only 6 or 7 rounds – or one that held 10-12 rounds but was bulky and a bit cumbersome.

Birdshot for snakes, pests, and small game. Buckshot for two-legged predators, medium game, and threatening critters like hogs and coyotes.

When it comes to the technology of modern warfare, most people can pick out the big game-changers. Night vision goggles, thermal imagers, radios, and of course GPS. But lost in this mix is another invaluable asset, hearing enhancement and protection.

Capstick abandoned a successful Wall Street career in his twenties seeking adventure. Like Theodore Roosevelt and Ernest Hemingway before him, Capstick found that for which he quested.

I carried the Waypoint with me last whitetail season, and I stretched its legs at the range. The Waypoint lived up to expectations, and it may be the perfect crossover rifle for both competition and hunting.

FN just released their first-ever 22 LR pistol and newest design as of September 1st, the FN 502 Tactical. If you’re lucky it has already made it out to some stores near you.
