Random observations from the ADE community
I saw this come up on an advertisement and thought they did a pretty snazzy job, so, I am reposting the info here…
Most purses I have seen look like crap, these on the other hand, look pretty good, here are a couple of their models:
Two things to consider:
There is a governmental mandated recall on the GSG-5 with the simulated supressors
Apparently (per GunTrustLawyer), “ATF has now determined that this is regulated by the NFA and must be replaced.” Pretty odd ending for a gun that had to cease production anyway….
Update - I found the following info that helps explain the recall from m4carbine.net:
“As you are aware, the GCA, 18 USC $ 921 (a) (24), defines ‘firearm silencer’ as follows:
“….any device for silencing, muffling or diminishing the report of a portable firearm, including any combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in assembling or fabricating a firearm silencer or firearm muffler, and any part intended only for use in such assembly or fabrication.”
General characteristics of known firearm silencers include:
1 Ported inner tube (bleed holes)
2 Expansion chambers
3 Baffles or washers which create seperate expansion chambers
4 sound dampening material such as foam, steel wool and other materials
5 End Caps
6 Encapsulators
The previously submitted GSG-5SD barrel shroud incorporates a large expansion chamber and integral end caps and, therefore, was classified as a firearm silencer.”
Thanks to TheFirearmBlog for this story.
Since it seems like a few people have been looking at the PM9, this story would be of interest.
Short summary: during range visit, a PM9 “blew up” in the shooter’s hands while using factory ammo… Notice the failed extractor and side panel.
As you read the rest of the story it turns out the shooter may have been using reloads, the seemingly main cause for all the Glock KaBOOMS! that have led to Glocks being called grenades.
To be honest though, it looks like the damage is a little different.
Here is a photo of an exploded glock-nade:
This explodes near where the round is chambered due to an unsupported casing. This problem seemed to be most reported with the .40’s.
So the PM9 looks to be a different mechanism to me. Probably too much energy in the recoil that made the slide come back with excessive force — yay for double charged reloads :-p. Kahr was apparently excellent with the service.
Nicely documented at TheFirearmBlog is the new line of Smith and Wesson handguns designed for concealed carry. One revolver and one autoloader. My questions:
Thanks to Engadget for this story. Looks like this pistol made by Armatix requires the close proximity of the matched watch in order to fire… I feel so much safer now.
Of course, Gizmodo has the better tag line… “$10,000 Gun Won’t Shoot Unless Near an Ugly Watch”
It looks like some (if not all?) ACOG’s come preinscribed with bible verse references…

I found this story over at DoubleTapper (click here for the reference and full story). Mr. DT called Trijicon and got the following information:
And REV21:23 refers to Revelations chapter 21, verse 23 which says “And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”
