Firearms Legislation Coverage
Tuesday, January 15th, 2013A lot will be happening this week relative to the Obama administration and their efforts to restrict gun rights. Ironically, as I am covering SHOT Show, I won’t have the same level of access to what is going on on the political front. Understand that I am not ignoring this issue. Rather, I am supporting our firearms and tactical industries through my up to the minute coverage of SHOT Show.
Remember to support websites and blogs that support our Second Amendment. There has been ample opportunity to speak up and some have remained silent. To my colleagues that fully support this industry and the Second Amendment I salute you. Those that won’t stand up for what’s right and the bed rock of freedom from tyranny, well, they’re just leeches now aren’t they?

Revision Introduces the StingerHawk Spectacle System at SHOT Show
Tuesday, January 15th, 2013
Revision is unveiling their new StingerHawk Spectacle System at SHOT Show It relies on a high-impact polycarbonate lenses provide full side impact protection while maintaining distortion-free vision and an unrestricted field-of-view.
“Revision has proven its leadership position as the standard-issue eyepro provider for multiple military forces worldwide” says Eric Hounchell, Vice President, Optics at Revision. “We bring the same best-in-class protection and performance to the sleek and more edgy StingerHawk spectacle design. This is a product that we are confident will become the modern eyepro of choice for discerning military personnel.”
Through the use of Finite Element Analysis during the design phase, Revision was able to predict the highest level of performance and protection to its users. Subsequent real-time testing proves the StingerHawk Spectacles exceed U.S. Military eyewear ballistic impact resistance requirements (MIL-PRF-31013, clause 3.5.1.1 and MIL-DTL43511D, clause 3.5.10). The StingerHawk Spectacle System is virtually indestructible. The system’s interchangeable lenses are fog-, scratch- and chemical-resistant as well as providing 100% UV protection. Equipped with comms-compatible, ergonomically designed arms and a shock absorbing underframe, the StingerHawk features comfort and rugged durability packed into just 1.1 ounce (32 grams). The new StingerHawk also provides vision-correction capability through the addition of Revision’s Rx Carrier insert which is also compatible with Revision’s current eye protection line of spectacles and goggles.
FirstSpear Media Range Day
Tuesday, January 15th, 2013
FirstSpear, along with Renegade Armor, Wilcox, and Aimpoint, sponsored a media range day at the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department firing range. Three ranges were set up, with the first two featuring rifles by H&K and LMT, and pistols by Nighthawk Custom and SIG Sauer. The third range featured something a bit more exotic: rifles by FERFRANS, who are known for their Delayed Sear Activation System. This system made the 7.5″ 5.56 SCW PDW very controllable when fired in full-auto. It’s also very likely this system was responsible for reducing the felt recoil of the 7.62 SOACR near 5.56 levels. Wilcox also had demonstrations of their breaching torch technology; seeing the torch used to melt through rebar as quickly as it did was impressive. Overall, it was a great media day that offered the chance to try out some truly fantastic firearms. And, I got to spend it with Tactical Fanboy who wrote this article from his perspective. BTW, the photo of him with the FERFRANS SOACR is a snapshot in time. There are no rounds in the gun and he has just been handed it by the RSO. Also, his finger isn’t on the trigger.
New SureFire Products for 2013
Tuesday, January 15th, 2013Shooting the Newly Unveiled DDM4 Integrally Suppressed Rifle
Tuesday, January 15th, 2013
At today’s SHOT Show Media Range Day I was one of the first to be able to shoot the new DDM4 Integrally Suppressed Rifle (ISR) from Daniel Defense. With this gun you are essentially getting two Tax Stamps for the price of one; a Suppressor and SBR.
Daniel Defense designed this new carbine to accept the increasingly popular .300 AAC round. They combined a pistol-length gas system with a 10.3″ Cold Hammer Forged barrel that features a permanently mounted 5.7″ suppressor (with removable baffle core) that together, bring the overall barrel length to just over 16″. They do this by threading and welding the suppressor to the gas block. The gas block is then in turn, mounted with a spiral roll pin and welded in place to the barrel.
Shooting was smooth and quiet. What more can I say, I only got to shoot 20 rounds through it. Hopefully, I will be spending more time with one in the near future. Although I was able to fire a full-auto model, this is obviously not a transferable option. Look for the DDM4 ISR to ship in April in semi-auto.
