21st Century Gunfighter LLC and United States Shooting Academy got together to take a look at muzzle devices. There are loads of them out there so it’s good to see someone take a look at them. They are right up front about stating that this isn’t a scientific test but that they have mitigated random influences as much as reasonably possible. All demos were preformed on the same day, with the same gun and the same ammunition, by the same shooters. This is a shooting evaluation so it’s subjective, but interesting.
We recommend you take a look at the entire series.

PNW Arms has introduced a new Supercavitating Underwater Bullet. It’s designed for use in maritime environments where you might want to engage submerged or partially submerged targets. Typically .308 bullets will only go through three to four (3-4) jugs at most. This example shows it going through 13 one gallon jugs, a steel plate, and then another jug. In waterborne operations this general purpose version of the projectile can go over 15 meters underwater and then have positive effects on target.
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.
Featuring a 5″ barrel with integrated muzzle brake, the MasterPiece Arms 5.7 x 28mm MPA57sst-ATACS integrates a Picatinny rail along the top to mount accessories. It comes stock with a 20 round polymer magazine but most striking is the A-TACS AU dip job.
War Sport has been lording their custom variant LF-15s over us for months now, teasing us with photos and telling us how great they’ve been running. Quite frankly, it looks to me like they’ve had just a little too much fun so it’s about time they shared the love with us little people.
The Legion Firearms LF-15 lower receiver comes complete and incorporates the B.A.D. 45-degree Ambi Short Throw Fire/Safety controls, Ambi Magazine Release their our MIAD? “Mix-Up” grip option, Geissele SSA-E Trigger, VLTOR MilSpec Buffer Tube w/ASAP Ambi Sling attachment and Magpul CTR Stock (color coordinated to receiver). You can choose Receiver color (Tan, OD, Foliage or Colt Gray) and Buffer weight.
There are only 15 available so you’d better jump on this quick if you want one.
