GUNS & GEAR

Gunnysack: Buck Deploy Auto Knife

You’re usually in the middle of a task when you need a knife, right? For daily use, I demand a model with easy one-handed opening features.

Gunnysack: Fisher Space Pens

The perfect EDC pen. A Fisher Space Pen has been on every space flight since Apollo 7 — for good reason. These innovative tools write in almost any conditions, like underwater or on greasy surfaces.

Woox Thunderbird Throwing Axe

While you can use the Woox Thunderbird Throwing Axe for general “axe activity” like chopping and carving, as the name implies, it’s optimized for flight. The handle is smooth to allow a predictable and hang-up-free release. There’s no discernible palm knob at the base of the handle. On a utility axe, you’ll almost always have some handle mass (palm, swell or end knob) designed to prevent your hand from sliding off the end of the handle. For throwing, you want the Thunderbird to slide right through your fingers as you release each toss — hence no palm knob.

Danger! Scenarios!

Over the past three days I’ve been shot, stabbed, beaten, wrestled, molested by drunks, thugs and muggers, stabbed some more and killed about a dozen times.

AMMO NEWS & AMMUNITION REVIEWS

Federal Syntech Defense: Ammo Test

Federal Syntech ammunition, launched a couple of years ago, turned a few heads with its bright red polymer jackets. But those bright colors are not some marketing gimmick. In fact, there are good reasons for discarding copper jackets in favor of advanced polymer coatings. Until now, most of the benefits have been demonstrated through the company’s Range, Action Pistol, and Match offerings. However, there’s a new kid, and a new color, on the block. The Federal Syntech Defense offering with its distinctive blue noses, are intended for serious use. Let’s take a closer look. Read the rest: Federal Syntech Defense: Ammo Test

My Caliber Crisis: Do I Need a 10mm?

I’m having another caliber crisis. Over the years, I’ve ventured into cartridge odysseys that include unusual chamberings like .357 Sig and 300 Blackout. More recently, I’m kind of developing a thing for 10mm. I’ve been testing out a Springfield Armory Range Officer Elite Operator chambered in the big-boy version of the .40 S&W and I’m kinda liking it. There are definitely some benefits. Let’s discuss.

A very interesting read on the reasons for the resurgence of the 9mm... Think today’s 9mm doesn’t possess sufficient terminal performance for use by the FBI, law enforcement and citizens for personal defense? Guess again. Read the rest: Shooting Illustrated | 9mm Resurgence: Why the FBI & Police Went Back

Dust to Dust: Defending Your Castle With Frangibles

Some interesting perspectives on the use of frangible ammunition for self-defense. It's got safety benefits indoors, but does it work on live targets? Some gun writers think frangibles are inadequate for self-defense, calling them a "fad." Those writers are ill-informed ... and wrong.
