The Savage Impulse - An American Straight Pull

The Savage Impulse – An American Straight Pull

{ 0 comments }

The world of hunting rifles tends to be relatively stable. We have single shots, bolt actions, lever guns, and a few semi-autos. Nothing crazy, and most hunters don’t seem to want anything crazy anyway. Well, Savage decided to shake things up with the Impulse. The Savage Impulse is a bolt action rifle but isn’t your traditional rotary bolt. Instead, Savage went with a straight-pull bolt.

Have you ever made an impulse purchase that was way out of your wheelhouse, but it looked like such a good deal you had to go for it? Me neither. Okay, that isn’t actually true. But just because I make a serious, serious mistake doesn’t mean I don’t write about it on the internet. So that others may learn. Or have a good laugh. Or maybe both this time.

A nightstand gun is premised on the idea you don’t have children. I do now, so I have to err a bit more on the side of caution. But as a single dude living in some perhaps sketchy areas, I was a huge advocate of the nightstand blaster. And for that particular role, the 1911 packs some clear advantages.

The best part of the entire FN HP package is that the updated grip design is outstanding.

45 GAP, the Glock 37, & the Caliber That Should Have Been

45 GAP, the Glock 37, & the Caliber That Should Have Been

This week, we are going to take a look at an odd one, and not just for historical reasons. I was able to procure a Glock 37 and 1000 rounds of ammo to feed it recently for $800. That is a used gun off the secondary market, but it was available and not badly priced. Considering how crazy the gun market has been, you could do a lot worse. Why could it be had at that price? Because a Glock 37 is chambered in 45 GAP.

Need is a loaded term, and people asking why you need this simply fail to have any imagination. You might not need it, but the 2nd Amendment isn’t about needs. A civilian 4.6x30mm PDW is a win for the world of firearms. I’m a huge fan of having choices, and I see every new choice as a win. Plus, the FourSix proved to be an accurate, controllable, and well-made weapon.

The JP5 From JP Enterprises - A PCC Unlike Any Other

The PCC market can be described as crowded. That’s a nice neutral way to say there are just tons and tons of them on the market. Most are 9mm, take Glock magazines, and use a straight blowback-operated system. Pretty simple and also very effective. Yet, JP Enterprises has released something a little different in the form of the JP5. The JP5 is a roller delayed PCC that makes both Stoner and HK proud.
