The Sightmark LoPro Green Laser
Mansfield, TX-May 22, 2012- Sightmark’s first low profile laser, the LoPro Green Laser features a low profile design, allowing it to be mounted in front of a riflescope without blocking the field of view. Designed to be mounted on a picatinny or weaver rail, the LoPro can also be mounted on the side of the quad rail. The laser is offset for clearing the front sight post.

Lots of great pics of the Connecticut Shotgun Showroom. Very Impressive
… If your mico 1911 can make it through one of his classes, he is willing to pony up the cost of the class.
I have gotten tired enough of watching people fight with 3″ “subcompact” 1911 .45′s to put this video (and the accompanying challenge) out in public.
I think 1911s are a bad idea to start with, but it is simply reckless to offer these mini-versions as defensive firearms to the public. They have a ZERO PERCENT Success rate in my training courses…. Never had one not fail. Yes, people will undoubtedly post how they have the magic unicorn Ultra Carry that never chokes. Cool— SHOW UP at a class and prove it…. I’ll refund your tuition and pay for the ammo if it really runs and you really run it
I’m not gonna get dragged into a flame-war here about what gun is the best, but Rob has seen a lot of people put a lot of rounds down range from a bunch of different guns. When he makes a definitive statement like this, its worth listening to.
Michael Bane also has an opinion on the matter.
Thats how political this whole thing has become… And thats just insane. Whats worse is that you know politicians are carefully reading this stuff in order to try to figure out what stance to take on the issue. This is a damn shame.
Public perception is changing, however:
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 24% of American Adults still believe the man who shot Martin should be found guilty of murder. But that’s down from 33% in late March when the case first began to draw national headlines and 30% in early April.
Forty percent (40%) now think George Zimmerman, who has been charged with second degree murder in the Martin shooting, acted in self-defense. That’s up 25 points from 15% in March and up 16 points from 24% last month. Thirty-six percent (36%) remain undecided, compared to 55% two months ago
Over at Mouse Guns and Gear, Bruce has got a ballistics test up of the Remington UMC 9mm 115 gr JHP… Now thats something that you dont see being tested everyday.
I actually have a box of this stuff. I picked it up because it was an inexpensive way to fill up my 33rd mag with some HPs. I was stoked to see Bruce’s test results. Pretty darn good expansion (.565″) and 12 inches of penetration from a short barrel DB9… Thats definitely acceptable.
An AK walks into a carbine class… and is the only non-AR in the bunch. Great pics and a full write up over at CTD.
And this from the article…
Bring a cleaning rod too, because even AKs can jam.
I mentioned a while back that Gear Patriot put together a list of various people on the Twitter Net that us Gunnies need to be following. It was originally entitled “101 Twitter Accounts Every Gun Lover Should Follow”, but it was really only made up of about 80-something different Twitter accounts. Well, after even more poking and prodding by yours truly it has now officially been updated to actually include 101 people that you need to be following.
You can check out the full list today on AmmoLand.com… Tell em the Gunmart Blog sent ya!
Look at everything you can do with just a few simple dots
Over at All AK-47 they have one of the first reviews that I have seen for this new comp on an AK. I have mentioned the Effin-A several times on the blog, and it looks like a really great comp. Seems like from the review that its pretty darn good for the AK too.
Feel good story of the day… Yeah, there are a bunch of “stupid criminal” jokes in this one.
