Mossberg has just announced a special edition Bliksem version of the Mossberg 590 pump-action firearm.The 590 Shockwave just got cooler, as Mossberg has announced the special edition Bliksem version of the 12-gauge pump-action firearm. It’s made in collaboration with Christian Craighead and his brand, Ministry of Defence (MOD). If you don’t know Craighead, he’s the SAS bloke who saved hundreds of hostages in Nairobi after single-handedly storming the hotel to engage their terrorist captors back in 2019. If that wasn’t enough, he looked really damn cool while doing it.Speaking of cool-looking, the new Mossberg 590 Bliksem. Basically a 590 Shockwave…

Here are a few things you should consider when choosing or building home defense guns.When things go bump in the night, there are of course some things to consider before you start bumping back. The gun community has been a mixed bag of sorts lately with products and technology coming out at a blistering rate thanks to changes in legislature and the expansion of the broader consumer base. There are more gun owners on a much wider spectrum of diversity than ever before, and this has inadvertently led to less tribal knowledge, less general understanding of technology and a “too…

HK MP5SD, Welrod pistol, De Lisle carbine, VSS Vintorez, High Standard HDM. These are some especially iconic firearms from years past. What do they all have in common? Yep, you got it — they’re all integrally suppressed guns that were designed with built-in suppressors. Standalone suppressors are much more common. They’re designed and rated for certain calibers, and you attach them to your firearm by threading them on to the end of your barrel or attaching them to a compatible muzzle device. There are several advantages to a standalone can. You can use it on multiple hosts, and many suppressors…

I hit the range with AS Designs’ ARC-Fire Super Safety MP5 lower to see just how fast a semi-auto can go.If you haven’t heard of the Super Safety by now, you’ve been living under a rock. The clever little gadget is capable of massively increasing a gun’s fire rate while still meeting the legal definition of semi-automatic, i.e., one round fired per pull of the trigger. More on that later.All you need to know is that they’re federally legal at the time of writing and, if you own an MP5, there’s not a single better upgrade you could get for…

WITH A NEW FORGED LOWER, PWS’S FLAGSHIP MOD 2-M RIFLE NOW FEATURES FULLY AMBIDEXTROUS CONTROLS What’s the big deal with ambi AR-15s? Whether you’re right-handed or left-handed, short of a catastrophic injury or amputation, you’ll never be fully dependent on one hand. This is why many experienced shooters no longer use the terms “strong side” and “weak side,” instead favoring dominant/non-dominant or strong hand/support hand. Your “weak” side can’t be weak, because it’s essential for recoil management, reloads, and other critical tasks. Just as you wouldn’t type an essay or cook a meal with one hand tied behind your back,…
Improving your Kalashnikov’s trigger with the Geissele AK-X.One thing AK shooters and admirers will never stop talking about is durability.Well, duh. The AK-47 was designed to be used by peasants; simple and strong were built-in.So was the crappy trigger.If you want to keep the peasants from accidentally shooting each other while assaulting the fascist positions on the Eastern Front (did the Soviets call it the Western Front?), you give them a trigger with a lot of travel.A lot.That runs counter to the way we in the West viewed rifles—something you use by aiming and pressing off a shot.What to do?Just…

I have a great friend named Sario who captured some of the first Kalashnikov rifles encountered in Vietnam. Sario just happened to be one of the first Green Berets in the Army. While today he’s a fit, vibrant, jovial man in his 80s, back in 1965, he was a Special Forces advisor running patrols with the Montagnards against the Viet Cong during his first of three combat tours downrange. The radically advanced AK-47 rifle surprised American troops when it first appeared, but became more common the longer the war in Vietnam dragged on. On one particularly memorable outing, Sario’s patrol…
