Sig Sauer's P226: The Gun U.S. Navy SEALs Loved in a Fight
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* The P226 was promptly put into extensive environmental trials that simulated the operating environment of SEAL units, including immersion in sand, salt water and mud. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Mk. 25 can be operated as either a single- or double-action pistol, and has a decocker for safely releasing the hammer without firing a round. Unlike the Beretta there is no manual safety—all of the mechanical safeties are instead incorporated into the fire-control system to prevent accidental discharge. For three decades, the U.S. Navy’s ...
Could Israel's Iwi Dan .338 Really Be the Ultimate Sniper Rifle?
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://iwi.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/dan-9004.jpg] It may just fall short of the cut. *Key point:* This weapon is good, but super niche. Can it crack open a spot in the very competitive export market? Israeli Weapon Industries (IWI) is best known as the creator of the Uzi, a compact submachine gun that went on to become a global export hit in the 1960’s. IWI’s other notable products include the Galil and Tavor, both of which have become formidable export contenders in their own right. Following its privatization in 2005, IWI...
Thanks To This One Part, You Can Build Rifles And Pistols At Home
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Take a look. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Modern home firearms production is the result of so-called “80 Percent” firearms receivers. Every firearm has a receiver, a common part that brings together the grip, stock, trigger group, barrel and action. It’s similar in function to a car chassis. In the world of small-arms parts, the necessity of a receiver makes it the only single part regulated by the BATFE, and legally designated as a firearm. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, the agency that regulates gun ownership in the U...

With everything else that's been going on, we must never forget Trump's $enate expediter Moscow Mitch. As crooked old Dick Nixon once uttered, "That would be wrong."

Could Brazil's Taurus G3 Pistol Unseat The Mighty Glock 19?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Price vs. reliability. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The G3 is designed to take on the Glock 19, but its main advantage is in pricing. The G3 costs less than half the price of the Austrian pistol, and if history is any guide is likely less reliable. That having been said, with a street price of $250 it’s an option for those looking for a handgun and on a budget. High capacity nine millimeter pistols were first introduced to the public as service pistols. Built for military and police without regard for size, service pistols were full-sized hand...
Why Ruger's Pistol-Caliber Carbine Is Turning Heads
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* Take a look. *Here's What You Need To Remember: * Once upon a time, there was a niche for a rifle that was shorter than traditional rifles, making it handier and easier to travel with. Preferred by the likes of cavalrymen, stagecoach guards, and gold and silver prospectors, the carbine sacrificed range for portability. Ruger’s new Pistol Caliber Carbine (PC Carbine) is an excellent example of a compact, firearm that can be packed at home in a backpack, the back of a truck, or anywhere space is limited, ready to provide protection, hunting sma...

Glock Has a Problem Gun Owners Can't Seem to Forget
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Nothing is perfect. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Glock handguns may have “light” triggers, but historically they are no lighter than other commonly owned handguns. Ultimately, the handgun operator is the only one that can make his or her handgun fire, and it falls to the Glock owner to operate their weapon in a safe manner and learn the ins and outs of his or her firearm. Handgun maker Glock advertises its pistols as the embodiment of perfection, and the Austrian-designed handguns have indeed attracted a fanatical following. One complaint abou...
