The Story Of The Russian GP Series Of Grenade Launchers
by Lynndon Schooler on March 28, 2025 at 12:00 am
In the jungles of Vietnam, US special forces started to deploy under-barrel grenade launchers with the philosophy of combining grenadier and rifleman “seamlessly” into one platform. Beginning development in 1964 with the GLAD project (Grenade Launcher Attachment Development), MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command, Vietnam-Studies, and Observation Group) operators were finally slung in 1967 with the XM148 grenade launchers under their XM177 carbines, the progenitors of the Colt Commando, M4 series, and arguably, the AKS-74U “Krinkov.” Just a year later, the US was fielding to great effect full-size M16s with the pump open XM203, instantly recognizable by its distinct cheese grater ventilated heat shield over the rifle’s barrel. Soviet intelligence quickly took notice of this development cycle, likely long before the weapon ended up in the hands of US operators.
POTD: The M110 SASS With M110-PRG Suppressor In Action
by Eric B on March 27, 2025 at 11:30 pm
Photo Of The Day and we take a closer look at the M110 KAC flow-through suppressor called M110-PRG mounted on a M110 SASS. It’s amazing how long these suppressors are, in a world of much shorter ones for the 7.62x51mm caliber. They certainly give the M110 that special look.
Concealed Carry Corner: Why Less Really Is More
by Matt E on March 27, 2025 at 11:00 pm
Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we had some fun talking about what people carry depending on the car they drive. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I want to take a closer look at some trends when it comes to customizing guns as well as the overall size of carry guns. I get a fair amount of questions from readers about what size handgun they should pick when it comes to carrying a concealed handgun. Let’s take a look at how, in most cases, it’s better to carry fewer items and why less really is more.
TFB Review: Meprolight MCO PRO Closed Emitter Red Dot
by Sam.S on March 27, 2025 at 6:00 pm
In the increasingly competitive red dot market, closed emitter optics have been gaining popularity for their durability and protection against the elements. The Meprolight MCO PRO is a relatively new entry in this category, promising a combination of ruggedness and versatility. I had the opportunity to test this optic in the field, and here's what I found.
Kydex Vs Leather Holsters: Which Is Best For You?
by Matt E on March 27, 2025 at 3:00 pm
Trying to figure out the best holster to carry a concealed handgun in daily can become overwhelming with options and configurations. The age-old question when looking for a new holster is to choose between Kydex and leather holsters. Both materials have their strengths as well as their drawbacks. To add even more options to the market, I decided to check out a hybrid holster that is made out of both materials. I recently snagged all three styles from Falco Holsters and gave them a fair shakedown to see which style I prefer the best.
