Had to fire some control shots with the G30S into our ballistic gel. Lots of other caliber/bullet testing but here is two HST 230gr out of a G30S. Makes a nice desk/dash ballistic art.

I generally buy any clean 29/629 I find locally. A younger guy just inherited a beautiful 629-1 from his grandfather and traded it in on a few autos. The grandfather purchased it new and kept it in his glass gun case. It didn't come with any box but I could tell it was hardly ever shot...

I wanted to give you a heads up of a LE Dept trial selection for a new 300blk platform. I will be one of 6 that will be evaluating the SBR's and ammo to recomend a complete tactical system for SWAT and other tactical law-enforcement applications. The platform has to be flexible enough to be...

I thought I would share a project I have been working on for the last few months. This is an all new 300blk monolithic bullet I have been testing. It is not released and is still in its development stages for many applications from military/LE to hunting. I know many find ballistic gel...

A quick background: This is a review I have been working on for the forums for a few months now. One of many of my professional shooting responsibilities these days is that I work as a R&D for a Ammunition Laboratory. We develop every kind of ammunition mainly for LE and Military application...

Let me first start out this Legion P229 40s&w range review by setting the stage. Weather: 18 degrees with near white out snow squalls at times. Location: My own personal tactical range and my rifle club. I dont know if I was testing the new Legion today or my ability to shoot with numb hands...

Just a heads up. I scored some HST 147+p at Massammo.com. Turns out they have free shipping until Dec 31. The 50 round boxes of HST 147+P is the "holy grail" of 9mm ammo. Burnt through some Christmas money already.:D

I have been doing some research with non-lead ammo since more and more ranges are going that way. I am looking into testing some for a few local LE. I had a suprise in my research. Turns out some non lead ammo is more dangerous than using traditional lead ammo. I was researching who the US...

Holy crap. I just bought a lot of rifle ammo stupid cheap. They must have had a huge buy out but I just bought a case for every caliber I own.:eek:. I figure this gives me a reason to shoot my hunting ammo for more than just hunting. I can now recreationally shoot my exact hunting ammo...

I thought I would post a pretty uncommon Model 70. I never come across these anymore and rarely see them on the net with little to no info on them. This is a 1986 M70 XTR Featherweight 270 with the Wintuff laminate stock. I remember seeing these new back in the late 1980's Winchester...

See my review of Sasquatch ammo to see how/why this promo was set up: http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6167157#post6167157 Because I was so impressed with the Sasquatch ammo, I talked to Massammo.com to see if we could get a forum discount. These forum discounts are not easy...

This review started out as a quest for quality range ammo. By “quality” I mean brass cases and fully copper jacked bullets. A bit of a back story: I teach a CCW class and a pattern was emerging that many of my students were running to a big box store to grab 4 boxes of ammo to practice with...

Massammo sent me some new ammo to test for them this past month. They were so happy with my findings that they are offering me another forum exclusive promo code. (many may remember the last one we did):D Last time many missed it and were upset because I didnt give more pre discount notice...

I dont like doing video reviews but the response to the new PPQ45 was overwhelming. I broke out the old camera today and did a quick but (I hope) relevant review on the upcoming PPQ45. Be kind since its production values were spared to get the video out asap.:D PPQ45 hands on review...

The Walther PPQ45 has landed in my hands. Walther just shipped my LGS a special PPQ45 for our upcoming gun expo. Needless to say that the PPQ45 was mine soon after. I will start the review off as saying I had extremely high expectations for the 45 PPQ. I love my classic PPQ in 9mm but these...

After years of being a bit OCD with my bullet choice for all my rifles for deer/black bear, I think I have come full circle in a moment of clarity. I have killed sooo many deer with the good old Winchester Power Point in my 308/06/270/300 win, etc. but love to tinker with ammo. Yesterday I...

Its no secrete that I like Sig guns. There is a reason for this and its because they shoot and do it while oozing quality. Its that X factor that most can feel when picking up a classic P series. The P227 has that X factor in spades. This gun seems to do no wrong for me. The...

Sometimes it pays to hang out at your LGS. I found maybe my most accurate Sig and I wasnt even looking for it. A German P226 in 40 just came in from a military trade in deal at my LGS. Looks like Sig gave it a overhaul as it was in great shape and the tritium night sights still were glowing...

Here is a few pics I took today between my Sig P320SC and the new HK P30SK. Build quality both feel top shelf. They are almost identical in size except the P30SK is bit fatter. The P320SC holds 12+1 9mm and the P30SK holds 10+1 9mm. Trigger on the P320SC is noticeably lighter and the reset is...

My LGS got two in today. It was a quality piece. Played around with one for about 30 minutes. Its bigger than I thought for a 10+1. very nice but won't take the place of my P320 Subcompact that holds 12+1.
