the Wrapid Loader is an older design still being made that can be stored flat and curls after it's drawn.

I love them, really good options if you're carrying a revolver.

 

[The Dude]

I've been itching for a short wheelgun for a while myself. I'm really liking the new Pythons with the 3" and 4" barrels. My old man carried a S&W 686 with a 4" barrel for INS for many years until they were replaced in the mid-to-late-90s by the Beretta Brigadier 96D, and I've always had a fondness for revolvers with that barrel length. They just look right.

The FCU shit is so annoying because nobody ever does anything or if they do they stop making them/it turns into vaporware. At least with the Magpul x Ruger crossover you still have Magpul and their mad scientists.

FCUs are odd cause they should be popular than they are. I mean peope love playing with their AR like a Lego kit afterall.

I've seen rumors of CZ working on one but nothing official.

Wheelguns are fun. I've been seriously eyeing the Heritage Roscoe.
I have a Heritage Rough Rider in 22/22WMR.
Had it almost 2 decades now.

You would not believe the utter dog shit this thing has been through. But still never once had a part break, had a failure to bang. The only complaint was how fucking fat the grips were, and that was solved with a sanding block and a half a bottle of bourbon.
I think that they may have fucked with their manufacturing, there was a few years where people were saying the RR was breaking mainsprings, triggers, etc....
But it seems like they listened and really tightened up.
The roscoe has old school flair, and would make a fun tacklebox blaster. Throw it somewhere, don't give a fuck about it.

In a perfect world they would make a performance center 327 in a small frame with a flat hammer like the colt dao king cobra. Throw a crimson trace grip on it and sell it to me for $1,200 please.

why not just bob the hammer? that's a pretty common carry revolver swap or work done.

also after talking with some people re: ATF stablizing brace, they are gathering information, but have halted prosecution pending clarifying language.

My understanding is that they are refusing to admit they are wrong about pistol braces, but acknowledge they can't enforce it with the current SCOTUS. So we will have to deal with this again in our lifetimes most likely.

So what's going on with that new glock clone from Ruger, the Ruger RXM? I like the grey grips and slide. Apparently it's based off the 3rd gen glocks. 15 rounds standard isn't bad either. Almost certain it takes Glock mags too, so yes you can load up your meme 33 round sticks into this thing.

Imagine a Glock 19 but made by Ruger and Magpul.

Allegedly it's great.

If I didn't have a Dagger I'd probably get one.

Below is a screenshot of an Arfcom post by Bill Geissele talking about the release of Federal's new 7mm Backcountry (incorporates a Steel/Boron Alloy case to allow for higher pressures) and Geissele's new bolt gun. He says that there are more high pressure cartridges coming down the pipe

Oh dear God here we go again.

Wow this brand new cartridge is totally going to kill .308/7mm Remington/.300 win mag and yep it only works on ONE rifle that ONE company makes.

2 years later "well that rifle was discontinued so I guess we better stop making the round"

Rinse and repeat every 3-6 years.

Reminds me of 7mm PRC except this is even MORE proprietary as it seems it require a special case material.

Investing in semi wildcat cartridges locked into one manufacturer is ridiculous IMHO. Also this new cartridge is probably going to kick harder than .30-06.

Also what ever happened to 6mm ARC and 6.5 PRC?

Syrian terrorist with a 9A-91, a couple dozen/hundred of them were looted from the Syrian Presidential Palace and probably other internal security and special forces facilities so expect to see them floating around the ME for the next couple decades, even just as collectors items like Syrian STG's are now ever since all the ammo got shot up

*Syrian freedom fighter who picked up what Assad's dogs left behind as they ran to Iraq and Lebanon.

I'm pretty shocked that something like this hasn't really been done before. His looks a lot better fabricated but even rudimentary RCWS haven't really been seen in warfare outside of the one example I can think of in Syria where they were using it on a shit metal APC or whatever and controlled it with a gaming controller and TV. I'd think a remote weapon or even fully AI controlled turret would be brewed up somewhere, especially with all the drone shit on display.

RWS are actually Rather Easy to make.


A voice controlled RWS like this is a meme setup vs something you control with a laptop or a controller and screen. A joystick and buttons and a camera is better than "LE Reddit weapon station, turn 32 degrees to the left and fire seven rounds then ACK"

7mm Backcountry

lol at no SAAMI approval
lmao at steel case
rofl at that pressure peak

Everyone wants to be Elmer Keith now.

No no you don't understand, making barrels a wear part on the level of a humvee's pitman arm will surely make for a constant stream of income for years to come. There's no way it can fail!

6.8mm PDW with integral suppressor from B&T announced in 2025. I can feel it in my bones. MSRP civilian $10,000. Past the $4,000 mark you’ll be comforted in knowing $6,000 of it went into still gassing you through the proprietary internal telescopic stock. Swiss magic.

Is this going to be a new proprietary 6.8mm cartridge, the old 6.8mm SPC, or the US Army's new 6.8x51mm/.277 Fury? Being a PDW, you'd imagine it would be in a pistol cartridge, and .27 cal seems a bit too small to be effective in a pistol cartridge form factor, unless it's really hauling ass like the 7.5fk. I'd honestly love to see a PDW in 7.5fk. I think it would be an excellent cartridge for that kind of platform.

Titanium polymer 3D printed cartridges. But you can hand-load them. 2010s but more future.

No bro please bro just change the dimensions by 5% one more time

bro please this time it will be amazing

You reminded me of this example. Its from 2013 in Syria. The other example that comes to mind is Israel. They have remote observation stations with RCWS. These are found around "buffer zones" exactly where you'd think they'd be.

While not unique(happens with the Beretta 92 and 1911 for example) it's still not a great look for a newer pistol to not account for that on a serialized part. Apparently they'll only repair it(bend it back into place) one time.
Before anyone says "Don't ram the magazine in" it used to be taught that you slam it in as recent as ~25 years ago. Half of it was because Glocks don't have this problem and the other half is because people were not assertive enough with their equipment.

Under stress it can be difficult to manage how hard you slam it in there. It's funny Sig wants this to be the ultimate platform for any need and then doesn't design it to have a over insertion stop.

On a closed slide it's got resistance, but transfer the technique to a slide that's locked back and you can fuck your gun(unless it's a Glock).

I have sneaking suspicion that SIG is priming the 365 family to almost totally take over the 320 family and essentially had with the newest high capacity versions.

Also what ever happened to 6mm ARC and 6.5 PRC?

PRS faggots were the bane of 6 ARC for a bit there. Haven't fired it in a while so hard to say if ammo is still as scarce. Conceptually the idea of 6mm ARC or 6mm Max are interesting. I only have experience with the ARC round but of all the compromises either of the 6mm new AR-based cartridges make, the most damning is this: market establishment. It's damn hard to catch up to the 5.56 in that department. As I've said before, I had hoped 6 ARC would offer me an AR capable of 0-600m target engagement and still be reasonably capable of fighting in a cramped urban environment. It can definitely do the first one and even if it could do the second one, we all know for sure that 5.56 works well there, is easy as fuck to get hold of, and has a shit ton of market support.

6.5 PRC is definitely still around and I'd consider it 6.5 CM Magnum. It can run a slightly heavier bullet a bit faster, giving it a flatter trajectory out a bit farther than CM. If you're shooting at steel or paper even well into LR distances I don't see compelling reasons to go for the PRC over the CM. If you're interested in ballistic effects on live targets well out into LR distances, the PRC will offer you a heavier bullet with a better BC and a bit more velocity = fuck shit up better farther away. I like running mine suppressed as it's less disruptive to me and helps to tame the rather mild recoil.
