Lone Wolf Limited Gun build

At SHOT Show, one of the things we got started on was building my gun for Limited-10. This is in conjunction with my sponsor Lone Wolf, who will be providing most of the parts for the top half of the gun. Because I’m shooting a Glock 21 in CDP, the Limited 10 build will...

The Kimber Sapphire Ultra II is a 3″ .45 ACP 1911, the slide of which has been coated a shiny blue using physical vapor deposition (PVD). At SHOT Show one demographic was drawn to the Sapphire Ultra II. You guessed it: women. And how could we not be? A shiny blue 1911? Sign me...

Sig P250 .380

Sig is expanding their lineup of modular handguns with the Sig P250 in .380 ACP. I know what you’re thinking, because I was thinking it too. “A 15+1 .380 that’s the same size as a 9mm? Why not just, I don’t know, carry a 9mm?” That was exactly what I thought, until I actually...

ruger no 1

It’s actually an old product, something that came out a couple of years back but this year at SHOT was the first time I was able to actually handle one and play around with it a bit, and I decided on the spot that I absolutely needed one for my zombie defense rifle. A...

Dear Magpul Fanboys

January 26, 2012

Don’t say I never do nice things for you.

That’s the new lower for the Magpul branded S&W M&P15. Yes, it has the Magpul rollmark right there on the lower receiver, and no I don’t get all the hubbub. Of course, I’ll freely confess that I honestly don’t “get” rifles, but that’s a post for later on.

1911 Traditional Reverse TT-357

That’s right, the venerable 1911 platform has been updated by Sig to include a chambering in .357 Sig. Long time readers will know that in the past I have scoffed at this idea, but after thinking about it for a while, I’m not going to lie – I kind of want one. From Sig’s...

Following up on the success of their G9 Carbine, a 9mm AR style carbine that takes Glock magazines, Lone Wolf plans to introduce a .45 ACP model later this year.

One of the most common modifications made to Glocks is the addition of a beavertail to prevent slide bite and to reliably position the hand in the same spot on the gun. My Lone Wolf Timberwolf frame has one, and I had one added to my G34 as well. Glock is now addressing that...
