You don't think it has anything to do with the apocalyptic inflation and despotic oppression? Tge Iranians have enough.

I hope they strangle the ayatollah with his own guts.

There comes a point where existing as is becomes worse than death. That is when change happens. Harbinger of things to come. The situation in Iran is especially dire for the everyman but across the world the established systems have not been working for the majority of people. Collapse and...

Also, tangentially speaking, the Swedish Archer artillery system is an outstanding piece of kit and we should be fielding it to replace our very aged M-109 Paladins.

20mm is kinda weedy though. Limited range, Limited shell payload. The Dutch Goalkeeper system based on the 30mm GAU-8 cannon is better. A mix of these systems would work well, SAMs for long range threats, 57mm for intermediate and 20/30mm for close in. 57mm would be excellent for anti...

Cheaper than missiles though

I'm bored, politics suck, the holidays suck, the world sucks. Let's talk about yhe big boomers instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bofors_57_mm_Naval_Automatic_Gun_L/70 This thing can launch an 8lb or programable oprojectile at 3,400 fps and 220 rounds per minute. And its compact and...

Nuclear weapons make that highly unlikely.

All boiler room hits, looks okay to me

I was all set to fire off an "achtshually" About how the .30 Super Carry is closer to the .327 Magnum than the .32 H&R Magnum but no, upon some cursory research I found that the .30 Super Carry launches the same bullet weights at very close the the same velocities. Given the extremely high...

I think the .327 Magnum is unfairly slept on. I'm waiting for S&W to release on of their new Ultimate Carry J Frames in .327. .32 H&R seems way to weedy for me.

No, I'm talking about a hammer fired gun, most likely a single action. A mediocre single action trigger feels better than an outstanding striker trigger. That said also in the short list top 3 is a PDP Pro X, Full Size version with a Holosun 507 Comp on top.

A Shadow 2 Carry is among top 3 on the short list of future procurements. I have stiker fired guns, double action and DOA revolvers and now a single action in the 1911. I need a top class DA/SA to round things out.

The only reason to buy a PPK these days is for nostalgia. Oddly enough there is definitely a market for a full size, double stack, all steel pistol. Call it the P26 or somesuch. Whatever year it was designed in. There is a nascent market for challengers to the 2011 throne that only CZ seems to...
