Notes On A Horrible Firearms Class
From Swift Silent Deadly:
I hate to write a bad review, but the tipping point for this one was safety, which we’ll get to. In addition to at least one egregious safety violation, there was all around bad instructional methodology throughout. My purpose in writing this is to tease out some lessons-learned, rather than just complain.I have also tried to provide some good, real-world examples of instructors who do a great job in these areas.
Before we get into it: one important note: I am not going to name this instructor here. I grappled with this decision, and reached out to a couple other, more experienced bloggers for their opinions, because I don’t want you to spend your money on him, but I also don’t want to fuel drama in the gun industry. If you think you may be attending one of his classes, contact me and I may confirm or deny the instructor’s name. I reserve the right to make a case-by-case decision on this, however.
The Ironman Of Shooting Matches?
From The Gun Writer:
Over the course of two days, 35 shooters ran and rucked more than 25 miles, while carrying 35-pound packs, carbines, handguns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and the occasional 20-pound sandbag. They navigated through a series of obstacles, performed one-man CQB and engaged multiple targets from 16 different shooting positions, including shooting from moving vehicles.
CMMG Announces ARs in 4.6×30
From Guns.com:
Missouri-based CMMG on Tuesday announced the first firearm made for the American consumer market chambered in 4.6×30 – the FourSix.
Designed originally by Heckler & Koch in the 1990s for a low-recoiling NATO Personal Defense Weapon program – competing against FN’s 5.7×28 for the same purpose – the 4.6x30mm is a rimless bottlenecked cartridge that performs well under 150 yards with a small size that allows guns chambered for it to carry a lot of rounds.Â
Army Seeking New M4
From Military.com:
“The government is seeking to procure M4A1-Plus (abbreviated as M4A1+) components as non-development items … for improvements to the M4A1 Carbine,” according to the March 13 document posted on FedBizOpps.gov. “It is anticipated that the M4A1+ components will be evaluated as a system. The system must then install on/interface with stock M4A1 Carbines.”

Why You Should Own a Carbine in a Pistol Caliber
From Guns.com:
Because of the nature of a carbine, an easy to maneuver short-barreled rifle, they seem to simplify things for new shooters – especially one chambered in a pistol caliber, like say the Hi-Point Carbine 4595.
Hi-Point Firearms Carbine
The November issue of SWAT has an article on these carbines which are available at a very reasonable price.
