That said, we also don’t like gas in our face, specifically blow back gas when running our guns (tactical AR-15 carbine/SBR’s) suppressed. That’s where the new Silencerco Gas Defeating …

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com June 29, 2022 This one’s interesting. The Russian/Ukrainian war is apparently leading to some interesting small arms innovation in the form of plastic machine gun belt links, or “Plastic Machine Gun Tape” made by a company called RAROG, who’s slogan/tagline is, appropriately (and accurately) enough “Tactical Gear Tested in War”. The Firearm …

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com June 20, 2022 DefenseReview’s (DR) been reporting on OSS Suppressors’ excellent zero-back-pressure muzzle cans (silencers/sound suppressors) for years now, even before they were called OSS Suppressors (and now HUXWRX). So, it didn’t exactly surprise us when we heard that the 3D-printed HUXWRX LOW 556K suppressor with ‘patented and proven OSS Flow-Through technology’ …

November 4, 2021 As long as we’re on the subject of tactical AK’s (Kalashnikov AK-47/AKM rifle/carbines) and TFBTV Show Time videos, we might as well do a quick piece on Occam Defense Solutions’ ODS-1775 AKM Pattern Rifle (Carbine) and ODS-1775 AKM Pattern Pistol, as well. Both …

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com June 30, 2021 There’s virtually no end to how much you can mod your Glock pistol(s) nowadays. The options are seemingly endless. Companies are even making Glock pistol grip frames and slides, so you can even have a non-Glock-factory Glock-type (or, Glock clone, if you will) pistol that you either build yourself, …

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com June 22, 2021 A company called FLUX Defense has been on DefenseReview’s (DR) radar for awhile now, but for some reason, we’ve never covered their products. This certainly isn’t for a lack of interest in stock kits for for pistols that effectively turn said pistols into pistol-caliber SBR’s (Short Barreled Rifles) or …

By David Crane david (at) defensereview (dot) com April 27, 2021 We’re a little late on this one, but we’ve been on travel, and better late than never. DefenseReview (DR) just learned that a friend of DR’s, retired Tier 1 US Army Special Forces Unit operator Mike Pannone of CTT-Solutions, will be B&T USA’s new Director of Training in a …

The Nomad-Ti’s body is made from fully-welded Grade 5 titanium, and is designed for slow, precise semi-auto shooting, not …

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 …
