This may interest some people.

Buy a SIG556 by March 8th and get a $300 rebate.

That’s some stimulus we can get behind.

Several technical issues have pretty much derailed my plan to post 1.3 bazillion photos from SHOT. Looks like I’ll be lucky to get 13.

Anyway, here are a couple of AUGs from Monday’s media day shoot.

Steyr AUG/A3 SA at 2010 SHOT Show

Murdoc was pinging targets left and right with one of these. Almost looked like he could shoot.

Beretta CX4 Storm and TX4 Storm

The new TX4 Storm tactical 12ga shotgun with the CX4 carbine at Monday’s Media Day.

I will be posting a lot more SHOT photos over the next few days.

With all the 870s out there which are used for everything from competition to hunting and even tactical applications, I knew the demand for a drop-in, creep-free, adjustable 870 trigger would be well received.

Charter Arms Rimless Revolver

Got this tidbit in an email about next week’s SHOT Show:

And as a gun industry media professional at least ask about the progress on the Charter Arms Rimless Revolver which was unable to make it to market due to production demand and orders for all the other Charter firearms.

I get quite a few requests for info on the Rimless Revolver, but there’s been little info to be shared. Maybe there’ll be good news at the show.

Another offering from MasterPiece Arms:

New Guns for the 460 Rowland from MasterPiece Arms

Release:

BRASELTON, GA – MasterPiece Arms, the nation’s only true MAC-10 manufacturer, introduces the MPA 460 Rowland, a brand new addition to its unique and impressive product line.

These firearms are chambered for the 460 Rowland Round. The .460 Rowland round is a high performance proprietary cartridge intended to attain .44 Remington Magnum level performance in a semi-automatic pistol or carbine. The overall cartridge length is identical to a 45 ACP, but the case length is 1/16” longer. The overall performance of the 460 Rowland Cartridge is nearly double that of a standard 45 ACP round.

The 460 Rowland is offered in three varieties of firearms: the 6” 460 Rowland Pistol, the 10” 460 Rowland Pistol, and the 460 Rowland Carbine.

The 6” 460 Rowland Pistol, or MPA460-10, is chambered for 460 Rowland ammo, has a 6” threaded barrel with muzzle break, scope mount, side charger and 30 round magazine. The MSRP is $579. Also available with extra 45 ACP Upper included for $669.

The 10” 460 Rowland Pistol, or MPA460-15, is also chambered for 460 Rowland ammo, has a 10” threaded barrel with muzzle break, scope mount, side charger, and 30 round magazine. Its MSRP is $675, but is available with extra 45 ACP Upper for $799.

The 460 Rowland Carbine, or MPA460-1, is chambered for 460 Rowland ammo, has a 16” threaded barrel with muzzle break, AR-15 hand guard, scope mount, 2-7×32 scope with illuminated reticule, side charger, MPA low profile fixed stock, 30 round magazine, 1:16 barrel twist- RH, 3.8 lbs trigger pull, parkerized finish, American-made, Lifetime guarantee. The MSRP is $853, but is also available with extra 45 ACP Upper for $999.

I’ve heard of the 460 Rowland but don’t know anything about it other than it’s meant to provide .44 Magnum power from a .45-size cartridge. Anyone have any experience with it?

Seems like this would be a lot of kick for a MAC 10-style gun. The carbine model might be interesting, but I haven’t seen exactly what that looks like.

…doesn’t mean you SHOULD.

Hilarious. Via Uncle.
