Ешьте чёрную икру!

Posted on October 8, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Когда я пишу про оружие, мне часто отвечают: “Рады бы, да не можем.” Люди из Нью-Йорка жалуются на отсутствие стрельбищ, россияне на бюрократические проволочки, а англичане на тотальный запрет эффективной самозащиты. Все мои советы по подгонке самозарядных винтовок под рост … Continue reading →

Tirzah came to Nashville to do make-up for the zombie shoot and stayed to model. Much as I like the zombies, I think she steals the show from the pistol. Props provided by Czechpoint.

New quad rail for Keltec Sub2000

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Oleg Volk

The original quad rail for Sub2000 had a bit of flex in it. While sights installed on it seemed to keep zero, it didn’t inspire confidence. Keltec updated the rail and the new version is rock-solid. I tried a 45* … Continue reading →

Shooting well at age 11.

Posted on September 24, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Went to the range with friends today. Tried their guns and let them try mine. Fond out, for example, that .223 soft points don’t feed well from GI magazines but work just fine from PMags. (Firing on clays set up … Continue reading →

An interesting short film

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Land of the Free. Curious to see DHS presented as the Gestapo was shown in the 1950s films. The portrayal of the resistance is very reminiscent of the French treatment of their own history.

Re-loading a KSG

Posted on September 14, 2011 by Oleg Volk

With the balance of the shotgun right over the pistol grip, reloading a KSG is different from a conventional pump gun but no harder. And it’s only necessary half as often. BUIS: Magpul, red dot: Primary Arms M3. I am … Continue reading →

Adults shooting kids’ rifles

Why AK-47?

Two weeks ago, I got a note from Canada: I live in Canada where owning a firearm is not just problematic, but akin to signing a good part of your citizenship and rights away. The majority of people up here … Continue reading →

Public transportation, public security

Posted on August 1, 2011 by Oleg Volk

For some curious reason, our self-appointed social betters prefer collective solutions to the exclusion of private solutions. Public housing, public transportation, public protection in the form of police…invariably inefficient, insufficient and more expensive than private solutions. The expense is usually … Continue reading →
