Guns

We have seen a lot of new products hit the market in the belt kit category over the last year, with good reason. Ex Umbris designs have stepped into this void with a fantastic new design. Founded by a retired Special Forces soldier, they have expertise on hand gained from real-world experience.

As anyone who has watched the news will tell you, Chicago has a bit of a violence problem these days.

Years ago, I served as a machine gunner in the Marine Corps. My time as an 0331 lead me to always appreciate having more ammo than less ammo. My days with belt feds might be long behind me, but my days of drums are only beginning. Today I’ve got a drum for one of my favorite subguns, the Scorpion, and it comes from one of my favorite companies, Magpul.

The Vudoo was out of my price range and I was impresses by the 457 so I set out to see how far I could go to make the 457 challenge the Vudoo.

The Taurus GX4 T.O.R.O. offers all the features we’ve come to expect from a self-defense weapon in 2022 but without the associated costs. Is it the dark horse in the competition to be the world’s best CCW? Maybe, maybe not. But it’s definitely worth a look.

Because I stand by my statement it is the best value in bolt actions, so much so that I bought one. And while the Waypoint is absolutely fantastic out of the box, I wanted to push it to its limits with some upgrades.

I’ve never seen a double stack 1911 sometimes called a 2011 with these features,  fit,  and finish for anywhere close to this price point. 

Dan White was a trained soldier, a combat veteran, and an experienced police officer. He knew how to run a gun. White drew his revolver and shot Moscone twice, once in the shoulder and again in the chest, perforating the man’s lung. White then shot Moscone twice at close range through the ear, killing him. Bystanders later reported that they took the sound for a car backfiring.

Viktor Belenko was born in Nalchik, Russia, on February 15, 1947. By his 29th birthday, LT Belenko was at the top of his game. LT Belenko was the poster child for 1970’s-era communism. Under the surface, however, all was not well with the Soviet Air Defense Force’s fair-haired boy.
