  • Capital Comrades - Two American 7.62x39 Platforms
    The AK family of weapons is notorious, but the platform’s infamous partner is the 7.62×39 cartridge. Like Bonnie and Clyde, the AK’s reputation is inseparable from its chambering. That the cartridge is historically simple, robust, and effective is the key variable that makes the platform meaningful. With predictable terminal ballistics and near-mythical reliability, the AK and its round occupy a distinct niche within the 2A community.
  • POTD: Proposed Updates for the Japanese Howa Type 20
    Howa Corporation has publicly presented a set of proposed modifications for the Type 20 rifle, expanding the platform’s modularity and adaptability. The package includes an extended handguard designed to increase available space for accessories and improve forward mounting options while still retaining compatibility with a bayonet.
  • Fudd Friday: O'Connor, Keith and The Killing Power Controversy
    These days, the gun world is obsessed with all things tactical and self-defense oriented, but it wasn’t always that way. In the days before and after World War II, gun mags were oriented more towards the Fudd market, and people cared about hunting and outdoors living in general. And in that era arose two Super Fudds, whose opinions divided the shooting world—and still do, to a certain extent, although one of them prevailed in the long run. I’m talking about Jack O’Connor and Elmer Keith, and the Great Killing Power Controversy.
  • IWI US Launches the ARAD 5 Rifle - Now Made in Tennessee
    IWI US has officially launched the ARAD 5 in the American civilian market, manufactured at the company's new facility in Andersonville, Tennessee.

  • Springfield Echelon 4.5F Chosen by St. Louis County Police Department
    Springfield Armory has announced that the St. Louis County Police Department has adopted the Echelon 4.5F 9mm pistol  as its new duty sidearm. The Echelon series was developed as a modern, striker-fired platform with a focus on modularity, ergonomics and durability. At the core of the design is the patent-pending Central Operating Group, a self-contained stainless steel chassis that serves as the serialized component. This allows the system to be moved between different grip modules within seconds.
