Short and long range Israeli martial arts

Posted on September 25, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Tavor for the long range. Krav Maga for the short. I suppose the Glock would be for the medium, or when long guns would be inexpedient in confined spaces. Neat Kydex by Raven Concealment.

Low-recoil 45ACP compact

Posted on September 7, 2014 by Oleg Volk

The extra 1.5″ of barrel length and +1 round of capacity relative to other compact 45s are nice, but it’s the very low felt recoil that I like best about Boberg XR45-S. Plus, it is accurate and works with a wide … Continue reading →

I blame DDB!

Posted on September 3, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Back in 1994-95, David Dyer-Bennet was the main factor behind my increased interest in RKBA. His reasoned explanation of how he saw reality were compelling. He also had the books of RA Heinlein on his side. By 1996, I looked … Continue reading →

Alexandria Kincaid specializes in gun-related issues. Disclaimer: we did no live fire, hence the absence of eye protection. She brought the FS2000 and the Tavor, and Lyle from Ultimak provided the Mni-14.

Personal endorsement: XR45-S

Posted on June 29, 2014 by Oleg Volk

I currently carry XR9L and 9S pistols as the compact/subcompact options, and recommend XR45S for those who prefer larger bores. You can get cheaper subcompact guns, but none combine the long bullpup barrel, the low recoil of rotary breech, the … Continue reading →

Keltec RFB in teenage hands

Sarah 15, under 100 pounds and left-handed. Forward ejecting RFB works fine for her even though it tips the scales at 14.2lb fully scoped, BUISed, suppressed and loaded. The balance is far enough back for comfortable hold. I used this … Continue reading →

Keltec M43 bullpup in 6.5Grendel

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Oleg Volk

6.5Grendel is a fast, dense round with good ballistic coefficient. In the last half-dozen years it has become a lot more popular. To me, it would make more sense scoped — but people have achieved great accuracy with similar 6.5mm … Continue reading →

Force multiplier

Posted on December 25, 2013 by Oleg Volk

A 52 year old woman, no matter now well trained, would be hard pressed to keep up with young men who make up the majority of violent criminals. Add a Glock to her hip and a .308 rifle to her … Continue reading →

Nice thing about bullpups

Posted on December 19, 2013 by Oleg Volk

The fit, in ready to use mode, containers in which nobody would expect a long gun. Very handy when a conventional long gun case would attract too much attention. In this case, a KSG and 40 Brenneke slugs (15 internally) … Continue reading →

A-tacs camo works pretty well.

Posted on October 6, 2013 by Oleg Volk

This Tavor uses a Gear Head Works forend that holds any 1″ light or laser (a Primary Arms tactical light with tape switch in this instance). The suppressor looks big because it’s a YHM .308 can mounted on a .223 … Continue reading →
