New Products:

Heizer "Double Tap" .45 Pocket Pistol

$499.00 - $799.00

More Info

**Update:

Looks like Double Tap ammo has ended their relationship with Heizer for manufacture of this pistol. All I could find on their website is basically that Heizer "could not fulfill orders" for this gun. Bummer. Not sure what happened. Maybe they'll find a way to make it work out. Will keep you posted

***Update II Jan 28, 2013:
I recently saw where Heizer has finally worked through their production problems and should be up and running with their new facility in Naples, FL within a few months. I will post further updates here.

.300 Winchester Magnum

XM2010
 Article link: American Rifleman

The XM2010 was designed and developed specifically for the sustained harsh environment of the modern battlefield using state-of-the-art technology, manufacturing processes, and corrosion resistant materials. As an upgrade to the combat proven M24 Sniper Weapon System, the XM2010 is chambered in 300 Win Mag for extended effective range using the M24 700 action, and has proven out-of-the-box 1 MOA accuracy. The XM2010 features the new Remington Arms Chassis System (RACS) with a folding stock that allows for adjustment of the length of pull and cheek height and captures the bolt handle when folded. This allows the operator to configure his weapon to his personal physical requirements and transport the system more easily. Additional chassis features include a monolithic rail with removable rail pieces and cable routing guides that maximize rail insert space, co-align electroptics, and manage electric cables. Finally, the XM2010 features such end user driven enhancements as a 5-round detachable box magazine that allows the operator to quickly reload the weapon, a Leupold long range variable powered optic, and the Advanced Armament Corp TiTan quick detach sound suppressor. The XM2010 – an evolutionary leap in precision engagement capability and survivability. -Remington Website

Kel-Tec PMR 30 Reviews

Leave it to Kel-Tec to come up with this awesome 30-round .22 magnum semi-auto pistol. Reviews have been favorable, resulting in a very hard-to find item. A search on Gunbroker brings up only a few, all of them bid up past the $450.00 mark.

$415.00

The PMR-30 is a light weight, full size pistol chambered for the flat-shooting .22Magnum cartridge (.22WMR). The PMR-30 operates on a unique hybrid blowback/locked-breech system. This operation system allows for the use of a wide variety of ammunition as it seamlessly adjusts between locked breach and blowback operation, depending on the pressure of the cartridge. It uses a double stack magazine of a new design that holds 30 rounds and fits completely in the grip of the pistol. The trigger is a crisp single action with an over-travel stop. The manual safety is a thumb activated ambidextrous safety lever (up for SAFE, down for FIRE). The slide locks back after the last shot and a manual slide lock lever is also provided. The light, crisp trigger pull and fiber optic sights make the PMR-30 ideal for target shooting and hunting small game. - Kel-Tec

Dan Wesson Find

I got lucky at an estate sale last week and scored this early Monson model Dan Wesson .357:

4 Interchangeable Barrel Lengths equals Max. Versatility

I'm thinking I got lucky because the gun was completely in parts in the original case, which was somewhat beat-up. Everyone except myself must have thought it was junk. 

I should have this listed on Gunbroker.com by next week. So if you want to find gun bargains in these difficult times, I highly recommend going to estate sales! Be sure and bring your smart-phone, so you can look up values for anything you're considering bidding on.

Kel-Tec 14 Round Shotgun

 

The KSG is our first entry into the shotgun market.  The size, shape and design are similar to the currently available Kel-Tec RFB rifle, but the KSG ejects downward, instead of forward.  The KSG weighs 6.9lbs and is as compact as legally possible with a 26.1" overall length and an 18.5" cylinder bore barrel.  Even with this compact size, the internal dual tube magazines hold an impressive 14 rounds of 12 gage 2-3/4" rounds (7 per tube).  The simple and reliable pump action feeds from either the left or right tube.  The feed side is manually selected by a lever located behind the trigger guard.  The lever can be positioned in the center detent in order to easily clear the chamber without feeding another round from either magazine.  A cross bolt style safety blocks the sear, and the pump release lever is located in front of the trigger guard. The pump includes an under Picatinny rail for the mounting of a forward grip, or a light or laser.  The included top Picatinny sight rail will accept many types of optics or iron sights.  Forward and rear sling loops are built in, and a basic sling is included.  The soft rubber butt pad helps to tame recoil. MSRP has not been officially been set, but we are looking at the $800.00 range.--Kel-Tec CNC

Gun Review Highlights:

• Incredibly compact for such a huge amount of firepower
• The reliability of a slide-action, compactness of a bull-pup, and the streamlining of a tube magazine
• Separate-type loads can be kept in each tube for easy selection for the type situation
• 18.5" barrel keeps it civilian-legal
• Shell loading/ejection configuration makes it totally ambidextrous
• Forward grip serves as the slide-action control 
• Magazine selector-switch just behind the AR-style pistol grip operates intuitively, right or left, with a center position that allows the operator to unchamber a round without re-chambering another, or to load a specialty round.
• 3" rounds can be loaded individually, though not cyclable through the magazine
• Cross-bolt safety selector similar to the AR config.
• SAAMI classifies the KSG as "drop safe"

Independent Gun Reviews:

• Combat Handguns: Enhanced 1911 suffered no malfunctions, despite lack of cleaning, with a variety of 1,000 rounds. Surprising level of accuracy. Modeled after the Series 70 1911, except titanium firing pin. Lacks frame rail. Safety lever favors right-handed shooters. Aftermarket 1911 parts will fit. Very good trigger out of the box, breaking at 5 lbs. Trigger reset at 1/4 inch for rapid-fire capability. Machine injection molded parts keep costs down (hammer, sear, grip safety, thumb safety, mainspring housing, front and rear sights, and disconnector).
• Handguns Mag: A much better gun than the price ($650) would indicate. I’d compare it to lower end Kimber and Smith & Wesson.

Summary: Kel-Tec PF-9 $333.00
Slim and easily concealable. Available in blued, parkerizing or hard chrome. +P rated. 1 magazine and 2 floor plates, one flat and one with a finger ledge. Fixed sights with an excellent sight picture; rear sight adjustable for windage. Checkerboard grips provide excellent traction. Magazine release not easily accidentally hit. No data on whether this is a drop-free magazine. Gun fires without magazine in place. Snag-free out of the pocket. No mechanical safety; internal hammer-block. Good serrations in rear of slide. Light rail groove that did easily snag on clothing. Simple takedown procedure. Reassembly slightly more difficult. Long trigger reset required. Easily rapid-fired. Tendency toward trigger-pinch noted. Heavy recoil with most defense loads.

Summary: Ruger LC9 $443.00
2.5 oz. heavier than the Kel-Tec (17% heavier), steel sights and trigger-plastic on the Kel-Tec, thicker and longer slide, right-handed thumb safety, loaded chamber indicator, includes 1 magazine and 2 floor plates, includes polymer carry-box and pouch, nice matte-blued finish, slide and barrel-alloy steel, polymer frame, Italian-made magazine-like the Kel-Tec, swelled grip, frame cutout tended to cause thumb interference with trigger operation, identical trigger pull length (double action only), more room in the trigger guard, stiffer trigger pull (4 lbs+), "way worse trigger than the Kel-Tec with noticeable stacking at the end", highly visible white-dot steel sights-drift adjustable, front sight tended to snag on clothing, trigger return-reset shorter by 1/8", magazine disconnect means gun is useless without the magazine. Easy takedown and reassembly, beveled magazine opening for easier insertion, slower in rapid-fire, less felt recoil than the Kel-Tec.

Synopsis:
The Ruger is "Heavier, thicker and harder to shoot well"

"An imitation Kel-Tec by Ruger doesn't quite measure up to the original."
