If you are new to AR-15's, or are considering buying a higher capacity magazine for the first time, we have some very cool offerings. The purpose of high capacity magazines is to reduce the time it takes to reload, and increase the time engaging the target.

AR-15s are popular for many reasons. Specifically, target and range shooting, long-range shooting, home defense, and lately a surge in popularity as a hunting rifle. They are lightweight, accept accessories easily, are adaptable, and most importantly, they are modular.

Accuracy with the AR-15 relies heavily on stability at the two grip points. The rear pistol grip gives shooters a natural approach to pull back the firearm and seat the rifle into their shoulder. Add a foregrip to the platform, and the shooter has a much improved forward point of contact.

Subsonic ammunition is specifically manufactured, or loaded, to not break the sound barrier. This ammunition's general purpose is to avoid creating a sonic boom, or in ammunition terms, a sonic crack.

Any round that propels the bullet at a velocity below the sound barrier is subsonic ammunition.

Everyone already infers that all range ammo should be full metal jacketed ammo (FMJ) and all defense ammo should be jacketed hollow-points (JHP). So, what is my beef with the range ammo subject? It is not the fact that we are more likely to choose FMJ for target practice because we do, it's the opinion of many that we should ONLY use FMJ ammo at the range and JHP for defense.

Legislation enacted by the 90th United States Congress gave us The Gun Control Act of 1968. The GCA is a United States Federal Law that regulates the firearms industry. The Law includes regulations for buyers, sellers, manufacturers, and firearms owners.

For the past 20 years or so, the handgun market has been flooded with striker-fired pistols. It started back in the early 1980s with the release of the Glock 17. Because of its popularity, many people think that Glock developed the first striker-fired pistol. Actually, it was H&K. H&K produced a striker-fired, polymer-framed pistol in 1970.
