I’m very excited for that STG44. I know it’s not a perfect copy of the original but it’s close enough for me.

For anybody wanting more info on the Surefire EDC1 / 2 DFT apparently they are at shot, 100,000 candela with the rechargeables and sadly and in really small we apparently don’t want to upset everybody text……CLICK switching. No ring, no gas pedal, and I guess no sale for me. Smile I mean maybe it will change but that is what I saw in the documentation posted over at CPF.

I saw that too. Unfortunate, I guess I'm out as well. The reported $300+ MSRP is a real kick too- I just don't see the premium quality in Surefire anymore to justify that kind of premium price.




"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

Here is the new 15 round magazine that PSA is making for the micro dagger/G43X/G48. It’s half metal, half polymer so no need to change the factory plastic magazine catch for a metal one (like when using Shield mags)

This is an interesting concept. It makes a .308 recoil like a .223.

The price is going to be a tough hill to climb for most but if it's accurate it would be cool to have.

DSA Arms has their FN FALs at the show. The wood furniture rifles are sweet. Want!

Cool. Like the love child of an AR-10 and a Remington Model 8.

The designer said he looked at the Barret and thought why not in a smaller caliber? I wonder how accurate it is with the BCG and barrel moving like that.

walked the entire show, did not see them, but may have missed them,

Thanks for looking but I think I have the answer to my question. On top of that, I imagine the folks at Timney are tired of being asked about this by all the Glock fans. Wink
