Czech-made revolvers

Posted on November 18, 2011 by Oleg Volk

More options in medium frame revolvers: .38 and .357 Czechpoint models. I haven’t fired them yet but hope to do it by the end of the month. Overall, they look like K-frames with recessed chambers and re-designed ejectors.

Pretty is as pretty does

Posted on November 14, 2011 by Oleg Volk

I used to view vz58 as a quaint design roughly analogous to AK47, but uglier. I’ve since become a fan: the rifle is shorter than an M1 carbine and no heavier, while shooting a more potent round with mild recoil. It’s yet another excellent “girlfriend gun” for those who are considering a present for petite lovers or spouses.

Rainier Arms rifle

Posted on November 14, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Two things are special about this rifle: AXTS receiver with all controls duplicated on left and right sides, and the Samson rail is very light and makes for an excellent balance.

Luck is often on the side of large magazines

Henry Big Boy

See Ballistics by the Inch for the actual velocity numbers. 240gr Hydro-shock at 1600fps+ seems quite respectable, especially since the recoil in this gun is very mild. I got this carbine after trying the 45Colt version and being impressed with the low recoil and good accuracy with open sights.

Promo for Boberg Arms

Posted on November 12, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Boberg Arms | Meco Holsters

This pistol has a longer barrel than usual for the slide length. Roughbaugh R9 (2.9″) yields 885fps with this round, while XR9-S gets around 1030fps and does so with significantly lower recoil. Rotating breech does a great job of taming the kick, and the chamber is fully supported because no fed ramp is necessary with the straight-line feed.

Meco mag pouch shown is a tuckable design, designed for maximum concealment.

An awesome pistol deserves a matching holster

Meco holster for Boberg XR9S. The fit and finish on both are amazingly good.

Good carbine for new shooters

Posted on November 7, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Integrally suppressed 10-22 (AAC barrel) with 4x Leupold scope and 25-rd magazine. I try to start new shooters with quiet, accurate and easily operated firearms. It’s important to make the first session fun. Once trigger control and sight alignment are figured out on paper, reactive targets can come out to provide positive reinforcement for hits.

Ruger 22/45 mk3 with Gemtech Alpine suppressor, Primary Arms green dot sight and Viridian C5L light/laser. This belongs to a friend. Entirely coincidentally, squirrels and other rodents around his house have a very high rate of sudden heart attacks.
