Planning to stay cool this summer

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Oleg Volk

A full set of firearm laser trainers just arrived. Given that my weakest point at Front Sight pistol course was presentation, these should help considerably.

Chiappa Rhino

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Simpler in design than Mateba Unica semi-auto revolver, Rhino feels much better balanced. DA trigger is fairly smooth, single is odd (lots of take-up), fiber optic sights are easy to see. I didn’t have the opportunity to fire it but would like to do so at the first opportunity.

I am really curious about the purpose of the rail under the barrel? Is it for a bipod? Seems like it would tear up holsters on the draw.

Scoped Chipmunk .22 rifle

The rifle is extremely light and fits even very young shooters.

Pretty nice wood for a kids’ rifle.

Leader 50 semi-auto bullpup

Posted on May 19, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Went to the range with Charles St.George yesterday. His Leader 50 rifle is a ten-shot semi-auto bullpup that is light enough at 17 pounds to be fired off-hand if necessary. Recoil is very similar in character and force to M1 Garand. The version shown isn’t the final production variant but it already impressed me as very useful. A matching reflex sound suppressor has been designed for it.

What sets this gun apart from others I’ve seen is the compact form, relatively light weight and genuinely free-floated barrel. Nothing touches the barrel except the receiver — the gas system is ingenious and gets away from any close clearances as well. The rifle will be produced by Micor.

Had to file two DMCA take-down notices on Brady Campaign today. They used two of my photos without permission and with libelous statements attached. Not very surprising…

Lightweight Game Getter

A friend brought his 22/45 over, so I took photos of it.

The point of this conversion is to save weight for backpacking and to provide threads for a sound suppressor.

KSG feature

Posted on May 16, 2011 by Oleg Volk

To me, this looks like an effective gun. Short enough for maneuvering indoors, KSG can be aimed with one hand if necessary. Fifteen rounds of 12ga with option to select slug or buckshot with a flip of a switch should be enough for most engagements. Red dot and green laser provide redundant sighting options. Bottom ejection lets either shoulder be used.

Every Day Carry kit

Posted on May 14, 2011 by Oleg Volk

LC9 is an interesting gun. Mild recoil, good accuracy, comfortable shape. “7-round” magazine only fits 6, I wonder if it was assembled correctly. Manual safety seems unnecessary.

Tuckable Galco holster is quite nice. I already remarked on the knife. Flashlight is basic, small and bright.

Keltec KSG

For size reference, the model is 5’2″ and 95lbs — she had no trouble handling this shotgun. It’s as short as legal without an NFA registration, just over 26″ with 18.5″ barrel. Each magazine holds 7 rounds of 2.75″ or six rounds of 3″ ammunition.
