Turkish Delight
I was recently given the chance to test fire a SARB6P. I was at my favorite gun shop and I was told basically to take this gun home and a box of bangs and report back. I was in the right place at the right time and I sure like when that happens.The SARB6P is a compact single-action/double 9mm from SAR (Sarsilmaz) Arms out of Istanbul, Turkey. SAR Arms has been around since 1880. This was one of several of the Rockledge Florida-based importer EAA ( https://eaacorp.com ) guns in the display case at my shop. The European American Armory …

Gun Digest Great Guns 2013 Calendar
December 21, 2012 has past, and we’re still here. So I guess you’ll have to spring for a 2013 calendar after all. Here’s one I suggest, the Gun Digest Great Guns 2013 Calendar for $13. There’s also the Shotgun News 2013 Calendar at under $12. Or for a few bucks more the Exotic Weapons 2013 Gun Calendar looks pretty sweet too.
New Magpul 10 and 20 Round PMAGs
Magpul recently announced their new Gen 3 10 round and 20 round PMAG. The 20 rounder is shipping now while the 10 rounder will be available in February of 2013 both with an MSRP of $13.95. The 20 rounder will be handy for hunters and precision shooters who may find it difficult to shoot with standard capacity magazines while prone or on a bench. 10 rounders obviously will be very popular for those living in states that ban any mags that hold more than 10 rounds. Check them out at Magpul.com. Hopefully by the time these hit the shelves some of the AR-15 and magazine buying spree dies down, it’s pretty impossible to find PMAGs anywhere, and some retailers are even price gouging the ones they have in stock *cough*…
Kel-Tec PF9 Review
In today’s world of uncertainty, becoming a target is ubiquitous. Full sized pistols, and even some “compact” pistols, can lead to unwanted attention; As a result, concealed firearms (with good judgement and awareness) are the ideal tools help prevent you from becoming a victim. Bridging the gap of sub-compact and a pocket pistol size, the Kel Tec PF-9 is the ideal pistol to fit the bill. The Kel Tec PF-9′s stainless steel slide and polymer frame allows this line of pistols to be the flattest and lightest 9x19mm Parabellum in mass-production. Along with a 7+1 single stacked magazine capacity, Kel Tec’s PF-9 outclasses all the other mass-produced pistols in the …
RIP John Noveske
Unfortunately it looks like the firearms world is off to a rough start in 2013, John Noveske of Noveske Rifleworks based out of Oregon has passed away. He was killed in a car accident on Friday, January 4th. According to Flashalert.net: Sergeant Tyler Lee, on January 4, 2013 at approximately 9:13 p.m., a 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser driven by JOHN NOVESKE, age 36, from Grants Pass, was westbound on Highway 260 near El Camino Way. As the vehicle negotiated a right curve, it traveled across the oncoming lane onto the dirt highway shoulder until it struck two large boulders. The vehicle rolled and NOVESKE was ejected. NOVESKE, who is the owner of a local rifle manufacturing company, was…

Key & Peele And Guns
I was catching up on some of their skits: hahah I love those guys. People have said it before… but it’s like the new Chappelle’s show. Yea yea trigger discipline I know… I was going to point it out, but I decided I’d instead talk about how I was going to point it out… thereby pointing it out sneakily. Thoughts?

Kill Scumbags – Raise Money For Breast Cancer
I read into this that buying a box and never using your concealed carry pistol isn’t going to raise as much money: Why use scary looking black talons that the media will villainize you over? See them try and spin a story where some guy that broke into your house to kill your family got Mozambique’d with cute lil’ pink “flex tipped” rounds. Ooooooo I just wanna pinch that flex tip’s fat cheeks. Thoughts? Do you hate breast cancer and love dead bad guys as much as I do?

R.I.P. John Noveske
The police report – HERE Damn only 36 years old. Not that much other than me… I didn’t know the guy, but from the YouTube videos I saw him in, and the things I read about him he seemed like a class act. My condolences to his friends and family. I hope they are able to pull through this and keep pumping out quality firearms and accessories in his honor. Remember guys, always wear your seatbelt. Sure they can get annoying at times, but John may still be here today if he was wearing his. R.I.P. John Noveske originally appeared on Everyday No Days Off –

.375 H&H Magnum Still Going Strong 100 Years Later
Happy 100th birthday, .375 H&H Magnum! Why, you’re looking downright spry for your age, what’s your secret? The .375 H&H is proof that sometimes you can get it right on the first try. Holland and Holland developed the round during a time when great technological changes were sweeping through the firearms world. Modern “smokeless” powder was proving superior to “black” powder in every way, redefining what was possible for cartridge ballistics. New rifles had to be designed to cope with the increased chamber pressure of these cartridges. The premier new rifle of the day was the Mauser ’98, featuring a very popular 9.3x62mm cartridge that soon spread worldwide. The Brits at Holland and …
Winchester Introduces 3,000 fps Rimfire Cartridge
Winchester officially announced the .17 Winchester Super Magnum cartridge today, and it does appear to be the fastest and most powerful rimfire cartridge ever. Two flavors have been announced so far; a 20-grain bullet reaching 3,000 feet per second, and a 25-grain bullet traveling at 2,600 feet per second. Muzzle energy on the 20-grain loading is rated at 400 foot pounds, with the slower 25-grain loading measuring 375 foot pounds. By comparison a standard 115 grain 9mm Luger round generates around 330 foot pounds of muzzle energy, so this sort of performance from a rimfire is a true breakthrough. Case capacity exceeds any previous rimfire caliber, and the latest generation ballistic tipped bullets will be utilized immediately in factory loadings. Suddenly, it is realistic to score a humane kill on a …
Magtech Ammunition – New for 2013
Brazilian ammo maker Magtech Ammunition has a few new products that will debut in the coming year. Among them are lines of duty ammunition for law enforcement. The exact details have not yet been released, but there will be two new lines aimed at the police market. The first will be a line of sniper ammo. Presumably, this ammunition will focus on the most common law enforcement sniper rifle round used in the United States: the .308 Winchester. It has long been an article of faith that the best precision rifle bullet in .308 for law enforcement has been the Sierra 168 grain Match King boat tail hollow point (BTHP). For many police departments, the preferred load has been the Federal Gold Medal. Another popular choice has been the …
Women’s Outdoor and Shooting Industry Dinner (SHOT Show)
The event organizer was very unhappy with me that I posted about this event. I thought it was a public event, it apparently is not and so I have removed the invite. I was not trying to be rude or disrespectful, just doing my best to publicize a new event on the most read gun blog online.
RIP: John Noveske of Noveske Rifleworks
It saddens me to report that John Noveske, of Noveske Rifleworks out of Oregon, was killed in a car accident the night of Friday, January 4th. Official statement from the Noveske Facebook page: Noveske Rifleworks would ask you to remember the passing of our founder, John Noveske, who died Friday, January 4th 2013 in an automobile accident. John planned for all eventualities, and wanted to ensure any changes would be as seamless as possible for our customers, dealers, suppliers, employees and friends. While this will be a trying time, we do not expect a change in the day to day operations of Noveske Rifleworks. We…
Quote of the Day – Empathy
“What kind of empathetic people exploit the occasion of murdered children and a distraught public as the proper time to ask for support of their agenda?”- Howard NemerovHoward asks a great question here at the end of his excellent piece. The answer? People who have no empathy for those murdered. Anti-gun politicians like Feinstein, Cuomo and their ilk do not care one bit about those killed. They only care about two things. 1. Doing what is politically expedient so that they can continue to hold power. 2. Disarming their constituents.
Gun Control in New York
So a crazy guy in upstate New York sets his house ablaze, lures firefighters there, then ambushes them. The response is the usual. Ban the guns! Ban the guns! Ban the Guns! they say.What the article doesn’t mention is that the murderer, William Spengler was a convicted felon. He bludgeoned his grandmother to death with a hammer back in 1981.Oh, and he said this,”I still have to get ready to see how much of the neighborhood I can burn down, and do what I like doing best, killing people.”Evil folks. Evil. You cannot stop a man like this with more laws. He could have methodically set fire to every house in the neighborhood, and …
Not just NO, but HELL NO
Police doing walking patrols in SWAT gear with AR-15’s around their necks to “take back the streets?” Oh hell no. The militarization of the cops is already bad enough in this country. And frankly, if I can’t walk down the street OC’ing my AR-15 without it being a huge issue then the cops sure as hell shouldn’t be able to do it.”Police are going to be in SWAT gear and have AR-15s around their neck,” Stovall said. “If you’re out walking, we’re going to stop you, ask why you’re out walking, check for your ID……They may not be doing anything but walking their dog,” “But they’re going to have to prove it.”And, he says, “We’re going to do…
Quote of the Day – National Conversation
“Have you ever tried to reason with a child in the middle of a full-blown, red in the face, snot coming out of their nose, gasping for air crying fit?Yeah, well welcome to the national conversation on gun control.”-BredaThat has to be one of the most apt descriptions of the kind of people were up against that I’ve heard in a long time.

People React to Calls for Bans
Innocent children get murdered by a madman who broke a TON of laws, despicable, blooddancing politicians and media types gleefully exploit it to push for more gun control………and the rest of America reacts. As Rick over at Traction-Control notes,”At 5:30 AM I showed 9,330 units on hand, when the order was received (at 5:00 PM) the quantity available was zero. My distributor reported over 70,000 Magpul PMags were sold last weekend alone.”Almost 10,000 Magpul PMags sold in 12 hours, 70,000 sold in one weekend. Not only that, but I was checking out Aimsurplus last night and they were wiped out of most everything. .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 9mm, 7…
