Editor’s Note: In this review, Ryan Domke evaluates the ProMag 50-round drum magazine for the 9mm Springfield Armory Kuna. This Made in the USA polymer magazine provides a lot of shooting between changes. Domke gives us a close look at how well it performs. The magazine was provided to the author by ProMag for this review.If there is one word I would use to describe shooting the Kuna, it’s fun. And while the standard magazines give you plenty of capacity for most range sessions, sometimes you just want to have a little more fun. Made in the USA, ProMag’s drum…

Editor’s Forward: We see an old name and believe it’s been the same the entire time, but with old companies that’s rarely the case. The original Remington, E. Remington & Sons, was first founded in 1816 to manufacture flintlock barrels and other firearm parts. They did so in earnest, but the Remington of today isn’t that same company. In fact, they’ve changed hands many times over their 200-year history. This article is from RECOIL Issue 35. This secretive sniper rifle, the CSR, saw action almost immediately after being made, though it isn’t currently available from anyone carrying the Remington moniker.…

The Brief: A property dispute in Lehigh Acres, Florida, escalated when Eddie Jordan II attacked a resident with a pickaxe. After being knocked to the ground, the resident shot Jordan in the leg in self-defense. Following a secondary dispute days later, law enforcement officers arrested Jordan near a local convenience store. Jordan was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Investigators ruled the resident’s use of force justified under Florida self-defense laws, as the resident faced an imminent, potentially fatal threat while pinned on the ground beneath an armed assailant. LEHIGH ACRES, FL — A confrontation over property boundaries…

Editor’s Note: In today’s article, Yamil Sued reviews the XS Sights R3D 2.0 night sights for the Springfield Echelon. But, how do they perform? Read on to get Sued’s take on them. The sights were provided by the company to Sued for review. I’ve been a big fan of tritium night sights for a long time. Any time I test a new every day carry (EDC) pistol, the first questions I ask are: Does it come with tritium night sights, or can I easily find an aftermarket set for it? The author’s Echelon 4.5F wearing a fresh set of XS…
Last week, we warned that America’s fuel system was heading into refinery maintenance season with dangerously little room for another major disruption.Then another disruption showed up.Exxon Mobil’s Joliet refinery outside Chicago lost power Sunday and shut down. As of Friday morning, it still wasn’t running, and Exxon had not given a restart date. The company has since disclosed that floodwater overwhelmed a pump at the refinery, while the original blackout was blamed on storm damage to ComEd power lines.Joliet produces roughly 11 million gallons of gasoline and diesel every day. Five days offline means something on the order of 55…

EDITOR’S FOREWORD: This article originally appeared in the 1965 Gun Digest annual, and was the first significant coverage of the then-new AR-15. Funny how politics is always involved in weapon procurement. Note the nonsense about “hydrostatic shock” and reports of 5.56mm nearly taking limbs off in Vietnam. This article has been edited and curated to fit this format, but the complete piece with more extensive testing can be found in our archives. The much-maligned M14 is being quietly phased out of production. It has apparently been abandoned by the Pentagon brass, though not yet openly repudiated. A search is in…
Founded in 1949 by three former Mauser engineers, Edmund Heckler, Theodor Koch, and Alex Seidel, the success of the G3 Rifle started Heckler & Koch’s changeover in the German defense industry from parts to weapons. The HK MP5A1 and the A2 (shown) launched the firm’s status as a top contender, following the introduction of the world’s most well-recognized submachine gun. It has been in non-stop service since 1966. The MP5A2 circa 1977 was the basis for nearly 100 different configurations and truly epitomized the company’s famous motto: “Keine Kompromisse …” (“No Compromise!”) Author Photo.
