Colt King Cobra & Python
The original reviews of these two got lost with LooseRounds and I can’t recover them. But, I did manage to find these two pictures from the accuracy tests. Getting new T&E guns from Colt is hard post COVID. They haven’t really sent any out to anyone. Not even the BIG NAMES. But hopefully that willContinue reading “Colt King Cobra & Python”
2024 Colt Products ( Rifles)
A look at some highlights from the upcoming product line from Colt in 2024.
BookBag Protection From Gunfire
It is a dangerous world out there, and as uncomfortable as it is to think about, the current state of the country means not every one is armed to step up to defend the most helpless among us. With that in mind and the recent atrocities, we decided to do some testing on something oftenContinue reading “BookBag Protection From Gunfire”
Colt Lightweight AR6720 Carbine
This is my (very short) opinion on the Colt AR6720 Lightweight LE Carbine. I constantly have people asking my opinion of what basic AR type rifle is best for them, to use for home defense and/or duty or patrol rifle use. ” Should I get a Colt or equivalent M4 type carbine?” Many who askContinue reading “Colt Lightweight AR6720 Carbine”
Some Nostalgic Gear
I am not exactly a collector of WW2 gear, but being a devoted worshiper of the Colt M1911, I have always had a love for the old nostalgic web belt, brown leather holster and accessories that came with the issuance of the 199 during the war. the belt was set up with what you neededContinue reading “Some Nostalgic Gear”
Colt CR6762
I am about a month late getting my “new” Colt CR6762 7.62X39mm carbine to the range. During my military career I fired numerous Soviet Bloc, Chinese and European variants of the AK/RPK family which all had average accuracy at best. I have heard great things about the accuracy of 7.62x39mm out of the Colt barrelContinue reading “Colt CR6762”
Thoughts On The M1911..Again.
The amount of people on the web ready to tell you how unreliable the 1911 is, may approach the population of China or India. Even some bigger name instructors wishing to get more attention by saying things controversial blather on about it even when they really do not know as much about it as theyContinue reading “Thoughts On The M1911..Again.”
New Use For Old Gear
Everyone has or at least has seen the old style bandoleers the Military sends off ammo in. Usually cotton cloth or something like that. Older ones had seven pockets and held two stripper clips of 10 rounds in each with a card board box keeping it secured in the pocket. The newer ones are 4Continue reading “New Use For Old Gear”
LAV Pleads Guilty, Probably Going to Prison
Some bad, bad news. LAV is going to prison for some machineguns. It baffles me that Vickers and crew thought they could import MGs and not have the feds on their ass. All guns laws are unconstitutional. Now LAV gets his reward for years of loyal service as one of the .GOVs most elite attackContinue reading “LAV Pleads Guilty, Probably Going to Prison”
