By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com February 28, 2021 DefenseReview’s (DR) been writing about Walther pistols for awhile now. We like the brand, partially because they make high-quality firearms, and partially because they’re the choice of British MI6 Special Agent 007 James Bond from the time of Sean Connery’s Bond, the ORIGINAL Bond. Ironically, we’re not tremendous fans …

By Jeff Gurwitch February 24, 2021 Let’s be real, when it comes to rifle slings, most shooters have settled upon using 2-point slings (with a single adjustable strap, connected to the rifle at the buttstock and handguard). Multi-point slings and single points have for the most part faded out of large-scale use. Multi-point slings have faded because they’re somewhat complicated …

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com February 10, 2021 DefenseReview published a piece on CAA’s interesting Micro Conversion Kit (MCK) carbine conversion kit for Glock pistols after Mikey Hartman took us through it at SHOT Show 2019. Well, CAA now has a Gen-2 MCK, or MCK 2.0 that looks pretty good, so we figured we’d cover it as …

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com January 31, 2021 A lot of people have been reporting on the new KelTec P50 5.7x28mm tactical pistol as of late, which is understandable. It looks cool and futuristic, utilizes 50-round FN P90 mags (magazines) that insert horizontally into the gun, underneath the clamshell tip-up-style barrel/top rail component, and sports Keltec’s signature …

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com December 15, 2020 DefenseReview (DR) covered the Beretta APX 9mm (9mm Parabellum/9x19mm NATO) striker-fired combat/tactical pistol prototype right after we handled it at the 2015 Beretta Tactical Summit, where we were among the first journalists to get to examine it. Well, cut to four and a half years later, and we got …

By Jeff Gurwitch December 7, 2020 When it comes to pistol magazines, there’s no such thing as too reliable. Over the past year, I’ve been using Tyrant Designs’ (TD) Glock 19 & 23 Magazine Extension (+5 rounds) for my Glock 19. During this time, it’s stayed continuously loaded (except of course when being used at the range), and has been …

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com November 24, 2020 Last updated on 11/25/20. While we here at DefenseReview (DR) certainly like our tactical AR (AR-15) rifles, carbines and short barreled rifles (SBR’s), we also like our AK’s (Kalashnikov AKM’s), and Arsenal Inc. out of Las Vegas makes some pretty interesting ones. The most interesting ones at the moment …

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com October 14, 2020 Last updated on 10/15/20. DefenseReview’s (DR) been covering S&S Precision products for quite awhile now, and for good reason. They exhibit excellent minimalist design and quality, and they work. So, we certainly weren’t surprised to see something like the new S&S Precision Chest Rig-Modular (CR-M) tactical armor plate carrier/Rhodesian …

by David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com August 16, 2020 A veteran-owned company called Modern Tactical Creations, or MODTAC for short, is making some very interesting carbon fiber Suppressor Shields for tactial AR (AR-15) carbine/SBR’s (Short Barreled Rifles), and MODTAC’s Dave Mason was kind enough to show DefenseReview (DR) some of them at SHOT Show 2020. The MODTAC Suppressor …
