PNW Arms has begun to release their new Cold Tracer ammunition. Since its cold tracer, they can be used where traditional hot tracer is banned including California. Used during periods of low light, the tracer can only be seen from the shooter’s perspective.
During 2010-2011 the Army fielded a limited number of XM25 Individual Semi-automatic Airburst Systems to troops in Afghanistan. PEO Soldier described the weapon as a game changer, and the troops gave it the monicker “Punisher.” Unfortunately, we didn’t get many glimpses of the weapon’s deployment. But here are a few to tide you over until we hear more about the XM25.
Panteao Productions’ newest title examines Pistol Dynamics’ Paul Liebenberg as he customizes a stock 1911. He brings an interesting perspective based on his background. Liebenberg was a member of the World Champion South African Practical Pistol Shooting Team, NRA High Master, certified four-gun firearms instructor and professional pistol shooter who competed successfully in many disciplines in the shooting sports. In 1983 he immigrated to the US and joined Pachmayr Gun Works in Los Angeles CA were he rose to manage the Custom Gun Shop. In 1985 he opened Pistol Dynamics in Los Angeles to build high-end 1911 competition handguns and Pachmayr pistols on contract to that company. Today Pistol Dynamics is based out of Palm Bay FL where Paul continues to build high end 1911 pistols.
In this 2 disc video Paul goes over every aspect of customizing the 1911 pistol so that you can tackle doing your own customizing. He shows the proper way to fit a barrel and barrel bushing, installing a grip safety and thumb safety, trigger installation, installing and tuning an extractor, installation of the ejector, relieving the mag well, undercutting the trigger guard, lowering the ejection port, and much, much more. As Panteao says, this is a rare opportunity to learn from a master gun builder like Paul Liebenberg.

Master leathersmith David Vigil has crafted this impressive gun holster for Vigilante Leather, inspired by the one used by Nathan Drake in the PS3-exclusive ‘Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception’. The design closely matches the in-game model in both metalwork and the dye job used to treat the leather; a model dyed in black with gunmetal-colored metalwork is also available upon request. 8 buckles, 2 to each strap, allow for easy fitting, with an option for custom fitting if required. Additionally, every holster is waterproofed and stress tested, insuring full functionality in any situation. Simply put, it’s a piece that’s usable for way more than just cosplay.
Available in limited quantities from David Vigil on Etsy.

The days of full on drop leg rigs are over. Rather, Many shooters come up with various ways to modify their holsters so that they ride in a mid position, below the belt line. Spartan Village recognizes this and has developed a dedicated solution in their Mid Ride Holster. Their holster allows the proper clearance needed when the shooter is wearing a plate carrier, chest rig, or tactical vest that has pouches or other gear mounted above where their holster would usually sit. But, they also realize that this lower ride means some movement so they’ve also incorporated a leg strap.
The lower ride height allows for a proper and confident draw without the worry of other gear getting in the way. The Spartan Village Mid Ride Holster is also available in weapon mounted light configurations supporting the more widely used weapon lights such as the Surefire X300 and Streamlight TLR-1. Check the site for specific models available.
This is a Norwegian issue HK416
The Firearm Blog has posted a story that the French Army is preparing to drop the home grown FAMAS (Fusil d’Assaut de la Manufacture d’Armes de Saint-Étienne) F1 bullpup design in use since the 70s for the piston driven HK416. Due to their unofficial source they have advised all to treat it as rumor for now.
FAMAS F1
One interesting factoid about the FAMAS is that the French have to use steel cases ammo with it due to its delayed blowback design that is is too rough on brass cases.
