With zero-dollar tax stamps and a recent wave of deregulation on NFA firearms, factory-configured PDWs have made a big step into the commercial market. For many moons, a two-stamp solution for backpack, bedside, and truck guns was beyond budget and practicality for many of us. In addition to the extra time and $400 worth of fed gov taxes, the need to snail-mail permission slips every time you wanted to cross state lines made such guns more burden than boon. But the bureaucratic landscape has changed significantly in the last year, and these guns are now a more viable option for…

The Brief: In June 2026, a Clovis, New Mexico resident fatally shot Abel Abeyta after Abeyta drove an SUV into their home late at night.

The first thing that stood out when I got the KAER safe into position wasn’t any single feature — it was the balance of it. I like it. It’s not too heavy nor too big. It feels weighty in position and secure in place. It’s not something you want to move casually about the house.

Tucked away in the southernmost corner of West Virginia is a seemingly small operation. It has no flashing lights, no neon, no massive ego stroking edifice that blares music and smells like gallons of cologne leaving you with a screaming headache like leaving the mall in the ’90s or the hangover after the first night at SHOT. Its owners are humble, down to earth, and in the truest sense partners who created a high impact operation built upon competence, vision, and a strong work ethic. This is JMac Customs, the brainchild of Justin and Ash McMillion. This story does not…
