Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have a working cop gun that somebody put in a tuxedo. The Detective Special showed up in 1927 when Colt cut the Police Positive Special down to a two inch barrel. That was the whole idea. Six rounds of 38 that would ride under a coat all […...
Photo Of The Day and we go to India to take a closer look at some marketing images of SSS Defence’s M72. Chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO and built around a short-stroke piston architecture, the design distills lessons learned by others and mimics similar systems already in use. In case yo...
We’re still waiting to see how all the fallout lands after the Supreme Court ended the National Firearms Act’s registration and approval requirements for short-barreled rifles and suppressors. However, some hunters are going to be very keen to take advantage of what appears to be a ma...
Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have a Colt hand picked by the most famous man the company ever put in front of the public. John Henry Fitzgerald, Fitz to everybody who knew him, was Colt’s roving expert from the early 1920s until he died in 1945. He ran the exhibition sh...
Smith & Wesson 1981 Model 29-2, 6” .44 Magnum with a pinned barrel and recessed cylinder. This revolver has been immortalized by Clint Eastwood's 1971 turn as Harry Callahan, and I’m sure you can hear some of his most famous quotes ringing in your head.
Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have Winchester’s attempt to build a better Garand. It failed, and in failing it handed us the M1 Carbine, so I would call that a fair trade. Winchester bought Ed Browning’s self-loading patents before he died in 1939. By 1938 the com...
Photo Of The Day, and we go to Russia to see what’s going on at Lobaev Arms. I could be wrong, but their approach to the AR-10 platform reads like applied study notes from the HK417. Rather than using the AR's direct impingement system, Lobaev engineered an improved gas piston des...
Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have a rifle from the Browning nobody talks about. Jonathan Edmund “Ed” Browning was John Moses Browning’s half brother and spent roughly fifty years as the model maker at the family shop in Ogden. Everybody knows JMB. Nobody kn...
Trijicon has a way of building what you might call the "desert island" rifle, the kind of rifle equipped with every capability at arm's reach. The rifle looks like a LWRCI IC-DI 14.7" , stacked with optics and accessories that will get most people’s attention immediately...
Ukrainian Defense Forces units have begun testing new robotic turrets equipped with Kalashnikov-system assault rifles in combat conditions on the front line. The strike systems were developed based on technical specifications provided by Brave1 , a defense innovation cluster, received grant...
