2 of Chris Kyle’s favorites: .300 Win Mag and TAC-338 Lapua (24 Photos)

Shared from Zite   In American Sniper, Chris Kyle starts by describing the AR-style, semi-auto, black guns that he used, like the US Navy Mk-12 5.56 Rifle, and the SR-25 7.62 Rifle (aka Mk-11). Although those rifles served a purpose, Kyle wasn't a huge fan of either. In fact, he talked about how the SR-25 had a bad reputation of jamming up in the field. He finished the section on the SR-25 by saying "There were other issues with the weapon, however, and personally it was never one of my favorites." That was immediately followed by his words, "The .300 is in another class entirely." 2 of Chris Kyle's favorites: .300 Win Mag and TAC-338 Lapua (24 Photos) thebrigade.com - In American Sniper, Chris Kyle starts by describing the AR-style, sem...

A Plea for Self-Defense in Great Britain

Shared from Zite   This is where we find ourselves now. Every citizen in Europe and the UK faces the risk of an Islamic attack merely while going about normal day-to-day business. UK citizens in particular face this risk whilst being denied weapons of self defense.

Springfield Armory XD Mod.2, by Pat Cascio

Shared from Zite   Just a quick run down is in order on the new and improved XD Mod.2. The virtues have already been listed in numerous other articles, since everyone was fast to report on this gun. The thing that strikes me is the new, improved and slim frame. The second thing is the "Grip Zone" areas on the frame; there are three different textured areas on the grip, all subtle but all doing the job they were designed for, which is keeping the gun in your hand under recoil. There's a 3″ Bbl, and the gun comes with two magazines– one is the 13-rounder, and the other is an extended 16-rd mag with a sleeve on it. The XD Mod.2 is a double action only handgun. I love the two white dots on the rear sight and the red fiber optic (replaceable) with green on the front sight, and SA provides extra fiber optic rods. Springfield ...
