For our third installment of the PDW Project, we are examining chassis systems that attach to a firearm. These kits include options like the Roni systems, the KPOS, the RT 20/20, and even the Flux Raider, to a small degree. My test sample today is an RT 20/20 attached to a Glock 43X. I’ve also […] The post PDW Project – Chassis Systems appeared first on GAT Daily (Guns Ammo Tactical ..read more

I give my review of the Green Ops Advanced Covert Carry Skills class. Bottom Line Up Front: Take this class!!! Mike Green has spent a bunch of time overseas, in plain clothes. He worked in environments where being armed was somewhere on the spectrum between unusual and unacceptable. Sounds a lot like the civilian context.

On Sunday, Mike Jones and his Garand Thumb team dropped their XM7 review. It is as close as we can get to the military rifle and ammunition. The properly loaded bi-metal cases and a round ‘close’ to one we could see in use—solid copper. The EPR projectiles of the M855A1, M80A1, and M(whatever this gets […] The post The XM7… now the M7? appeared first on GAT Daily (Guns Ammo Tactical ..read more

During the era of full-caliber military battle rifles, no other standard-issue military rifle had iron sights like the M1 Garand. Even though the M1 Garand’s primary purpose was to serve as an infantryman’s rifle with a real-world 3-6 MOA accuracy potential, its sights were still fully adjustable, more precise than they needed to be and […] The post The M1 Garand’s Superlative Sights appeared first on GAT Daily (Guns Ammo Tactical ..read more

In the spirit of continuing that humbling experience, a friend of mine privately called out my lackadaisical handling of my pistol. I went back and realized that I made this mistake on more than one occasion, so I felt compelled to correct this and show what “right” looks like. Darryl Bolke likes to say that […] The post POCKET PISTOL CARRY CORRECTION: Using the Raven Pocket Shield Safely & Effectively w/ Small Guns appeared first on GAT Daily (Guns Ammo Tactical ..read more

In my recent test of the Judge Home Defender, I lamented the fact that Federal had seemingly discontinued their .410 handgun line of ammo. I had a few of the old shells lying around, and in testing, it proved to provide the tightest pattern possible with the Judge Home Defender. A month later, I’m in […] The post Federal Brings Back .410 Handgun Loads appeared first on GAT Daily (Guns Ammo Tactical ..read more

One of the long-term projects I’ve been meaning to write about is the .45-caliber Colt Competition Series 1911 on loan from a friend. I’ve been dry-firing and taking this 1911 to the range intermittently since 2022–including the only Steel Challenge match I’ve ever shot.  Colt Competition Series Overview The Colt Competition Series is one of […] The post The Colt Competition Series 1911 Part 1 appeared first on GAT Daily (Guns Ammo Tactical ..read more

The rise of the .32 is going to happen. At least, I think it will. As a fan of the .32 ACP, I’ve been researching the other .32 caliber cartridges and learned a bit more about the .32 H&R Magnum. Harrington and Richardson teamed up with Federal to produce the round in 1984. H&R had […] The post A Case For the .32 H&R Magnum appeared first on GAT Daily (Guns Ammo Tactical ..read more

It’s January 1945, and you’re a German male in Berlin. Things aren’t looking great. That mini-mustached monster is seemingly insane, and now boys and old men are being conscripted into something called the Volkssturm. You know the war isn’t going well because you’re 60 years old and being conscripted into this Nazi-led militia. At least […] The post MP 3008 – The German STEN appeared first on GAT Daily (Guns Ammo Tactical ..read more

We all think about how our EDC is there to protect us, and keep us safe. Rarely is any consideration given to the ways in which our defensive firearm can hurt us. Not all those ways result in physical harm, there’s the possibility of social, professional, or legal consequences as well. If the last 12 […] The post SOCIAL FRICTION: The Ways Your Carry Gun Can Hurt You appeared first on GAT Daily (Guns Ammo Tactical ..read more
