Griffin Armament Enhanced Gas Pocket Bolt Carrier Group
by Hrachya H on December 30, 2024 at 4:00 pm
Griffin Armament has introduced a new AR-15 bolt carrier group called Enhanced Gas Pocket BCG . This BCG is designed to reduce the right ear sound signature when used with suppressors. It achieves this goal by having the gas vent holes on the left side and venting the excess gasses into a milled pocket and the receiver itself as opposed to venting out through the ejection port.

by Daniel Y on December 28, 2024 at 2:28 pm
Welcome back to another edition of Silencer Saturday. Last week we looked at suppressing the Beretta Cheetah. This week we’re jumping from little subsonic pistol calibers up to hunting rifles.

Guns of the Decades - 1970s: Smith & Wesson Model 29
by Cameron H on December 28, 2024 at 1:00 am
Welcome back to Guns of the Decades. Here, we’ll pick a firearm from a decade, and briefly talk about where it was at the time. It’s not meant to be an all-encompassing detailed record of the firearm or a claim that it was the best firearm of the decade. It's a fun read with a different take on a gun at a specific time. In this week’s article, the decade will be the 1970s, and the firearm will be the Smith & Wesson Model 29. The Model 29 is a .44 caliber handgun, made incredibly popular by the films of the time. The most notable film the Model 29 appeared in was the Dirty Harry series of films, but it also appeared in several other movies including Taxi Driver.
