What’s Inside:To whom it may concern: I would

like to express my deepappreciation for your great service.A short time ago, the primer-feedingmechanism of my Square Deal “B”was not working properly. I calledDillon technical support, explainedthe problem, and it was suggestedthat I send the press to Dillon,which I did. Within a short time(about a week), I got the pressback. Not only was the primerproblem fixed, but several partswere replaced. It was evident tome that the press had beengone over thoroughlyand that worn orpotentially worn-outparts were replaced. My SquareDeal “B” press is ideal for theamount of shooting that I do andit is a joy to use. The condition ofthe press when it was returnedto me is just anotherexample of the service and commitmentto customers that makes Dillon an outstandingcompany. Again, thank you very much!

Bob Hollenbeck – Roseburg, OR

My Dear Friends at Dillon – My Square Deal “B” gothome on Saturday and is now up and running. I

can’t begin to thank you enough for your service andproducts.

Paul B. O’Neill – Winter Haven, FLThanks for your letters, guys! Bob, you reminded me thatthe Square Deal “B” really IS the ideal reloading machinefor lots of folks. Personally, I’d always preferred my RL 550s because I load for several calibers; but thesedays I’m primarily shooting 9mm in both pistols andcarbines. So, for anyone who shoots mostly one caliber,the SDB is a no brainer. I won’t mention any names, buta well-known gunwriter friend of mine swears by theSDB and has one in 9mm and one in .45 ACP. Smart guy!

By J. B. WoodWith its long list of color combinations, the

Taurus Spectrum is well named. There may besome gun-people who will dismiss it as just anoth-er small .380 pistol, albeit with an artistic touch.They will be missing a lot. For example, look atthose color “panels” that are set into the steel slideand polymer frame.

They are neither hard nor soft, but some-where in between, and are a perfect grippingsurface for the hand and fingers. When youwant something like this, go to the experts. Tau-rus did. The origin of the special panel materialwas an international company called PolyOne(polyone.com), of Avon Lake, Ohio.

The panels set into the slide, in a swoopingrecess, take the place of the usual retraction serra-tions. The recesses are deeper at the rear, and tomy fingers, offer a better grip than serrations. On

the frame, the surfaces give just the right amountof adhesion, firm, but not rough.

Let’s get the color stuff out of the way, so wecan concentrate on the other good design features.The first production, like the test gun shown here,will be in basic black. A little later, there will be“standard” versions with frame and panel combi-nations in white, black, and gray. Eventually, therewill be 20 colors offered, with some add-on to theprice for special orders.

Some colors will not be offered, as certain pig-ments affect the durability of the polymer parts.Can’t have that. I’m not going to try listing all ofthe possible color combinations here, as it wouldtake up too much space. I’m sure that most read-ers, unlike this low-tech writer, will have access tothe web. Go to the Taurus site.

With an empty weight of only 10 ounces, theSpectrum will definitely not be a drag on your belt

or pocket. The other numbers are also small. Its5.4 inches long, with a 2.8-inch barrel. Height is3.8 inches with the 6-round flat-floorplate maga-zine, and 4.4 inches with the finger-extension 7-rounder. Width is 0.89-inch or 0.99 if you includethe tiny slide latch.

Overall, everything is beautifully rounded – nosquare edge anywhere. At the lower rear of thetrigger-guard, a slight recess allows the next fingerto ride higher. At upper rear, a generous in-curvesets the Spectrum solidly in the hand. On thelonger magazine, the superb design of the endpiece gives a perfect rest for the small finger.

The falling-barrel locking system of the Spec-trum has two good effects. It makes the slide easi-

er to retract, and softens the felt recoil. The triggersystem is a true Double-Action-Only, with noreset. The internal striker is always “at rest.” Thereis no manual safety, but an automatic striker blockis cleared only in the last bit of trigger pull.

Speaking of trigger pull, this one is smooth andeasy. Taurus lists it at “7 to 9 pounds,” and to myeducated finger, they got it right. On a straight-through pull you don’t feel the little hesitation atthe end before let-off.

With a slow pull, it’s there, and you can “stage”it for careful aim. The “experts” say you shouldn’tdo this. If you’re familiar with the pistol (and youshould be!), it’s not a problem.

Dillon’s RL 550 has long worn the title of “TheWorld’s Most Versatile Progressive Reloader,” and

stripping it down to its most basic form – Dillon’s BL(Basic Loader) 550 – adds a whole new dimension ofversatility for the shooter/hunter who needs to feedseveral rifles.

The BL 550 is essentially an RL 550 without the auto-matic priming and powder systems. Capable of loadingover 160 calibers – just like the RL 550 – it uses anymanufacturer’s standard 7/8” x 14 reloading dies. It’spriced comparably with other manufacturers’ turretpresses; yet unlike them, it’s fully upgradeable to Dillon’sProgressive RL 550 loader!

The interchangeable toolhead (Page 15) makes itquick, easy and inexpensive to change calibers. Forexample, if you load .30-06 for elk, .243 for deer and.22-250 for coyotes, you don’t even have to change theshellplate. You simply pull two pins and swap the tool-head with your .30-06 dies to another toolhead withyour .22-250 or .243 dies in less than 30 seconds! Theadditional toolheads are $26.45 each, or $24.45 each ifyou buy three or more – if you load for several rifles it’s ano-brainer! Once you get your dies adjusted, you’llnever have to re-set them.

A powder measure adapter (bottom right photo) isavailable if you want to use a manual measure that youalready own. Or, if you want to weigh every powdercharge you load, it’s easy – you can use a powder trick-ler with the powder die/funnel assembly that comeswith the BL 550.

CV-2001 – The Industry Standard Dillon’s CV-2001 Vibratory Case Cleaner is one of

the largest in the industry. Its 12-1/2 quart bowl capacitywill allow you to polish up to 1,300 .38/.357 or 550.30-06 cases per hour.

Not only is our capacity greater than most, but ourmotor is also larger in horsepower, internally cooled,thermally protected, and turns on precision ball bear-ings. This is no “hobby” machine!

The bowl and base are constructed of 7/32” thickinjection molded high-strength polypropylene which isimpact and abrasion resistant.

Case/Media SeparatorsAfter we sold thousands of our famous first genera-

tion FL-2000 case cleaners, customers who had pur-chased them began asking us to address the problem ofseparating the cleaned and polished brass from thecleaning media.

We knew from the beginning that the simplestmethod of separating would be a rotating squirrel cage,but we had to find a design we could manufacture eco-nomically. Our problem was that it had to be BIG – bigenough to handle the entire load of the FL-2000 seriescase cleaners.

The solution was an injection molded reversible part.Simple, and it works great. Ourdevice is large, 10” x 14”, and willhold more than 1,600 .38 Specialcases. It sits on a large media col-lection tub that measures 18” x 22”.The tub keeps the mess off the floorand bench.

It’s fast – so fast it will removemedia from 1500 rounds of .223brass in a matter of seconds.

Limited Work Space?Dillon’s introducing the new CV-750 heavy duty

Vibratory Case Cleaner for those with limited space. Thisnew case cleaner uses the same motor as the CV-2001and is every bit as tough – just more compact. To

accompany the CV-750, the CM-500 does the same jobas the larger CM-2000 Case/Media Separator; and, likethe CV-750, handles just about half the capacity of thelarger unit.

Although scaled down in size, these two pieces ofequipment are every bit as tough as their full-sizedcounterparts. We used the same materials in their con-struction and designed them to work just as hard – anddo it in a more compact area!

Super 1050/RL 1050 Short Trim Die Toolhead

For short rifle cartridges like the .300 Blackout, youmust use a Short Trim Die Toolhead when using a Dil-

lon Rapid Trim 1500 Case Trimmer during case prepara-tion. Otherwise, the toolhead is too thick to facilitate thecorrect case length. This specialty toolhead enables youto correctly trim and prepare short rifle cases on your1050. (NOTE: the Blue 1050 toolhead stand – PartNumber O54-62200, $49.95 – is not included.)

The slide of the Spectrum locks open after thelast shot. The slide latch is external, but it is notmade for routine thumb operation. It is tiny, withminimal protrusion. To disengage it, it’s easier tojust pull back slightly on the slide. On the plusside, this also ensures proper feeding of the topround from a fresh magazine. This applies to allpistols, not just this one.

The magazine release button is in the usuallocation, at the rear terminus of the triggerguard. For you left-handers, it is reversible. Onthe right side of the frame above the trigger iswhat appears to be a wide-slotted screw. That’sthe takedown latch. Fieldstripping the Spectrumis marvelously simple.

With the chamber empty and the magazineremoved, use a cartridge rim or other non-marringtool to turn the latch counter-clockwise until theslot goes from vertical to horizontal, and move theslide assembly off toward the front. Lift out therecoil spring unit and the barrel, and you’ve doneit. When you put it back together, moving the slideassembly into place automatically resets the latch.

On a small, deep-concealment pistol of thistype, sights are of less importance. These are ade-quate for the purpose. Square-picture, they arepart of the slide, thus non-adjustable. Protrusion isminimal – they’re not going to snag on anything.

Shooting the Spectrum was interesting in sever-al ways. Ammo was Super Vel (We’re glad to seeyou’re back!), their 80-grain SCHP load. Standing,with a two-hand hold, at 7 and 15 yards. The felt-recoil was brisk, but it was not painful. The goodergonomics of the grip tamed it.

The 7-yard groups averaged 3.5 Inches, and at15 yards about an inch more. They were right inthe middle of the 8-inch black of the ChampionVisiShot targets. And yes, for the best ones, I“staged” the trigger. There were no feeding orejection problems.

For the “basic black” version shown here, sug-gested retail is a very reasonable $289. A final“color” note – the slide will also be offered inmatte stainless steel. And, the Taurus design teamis to be commended for not putting a silly flippersafety in the wide, smooth trigger, nor squaring thetrigger guard.

Until now, reusing military brass, with itscrimped primer pockets, has been a tedious

task. The Dillon solution is a remarkably simpledevice that bolts to your bench and allows you toswage the primer pockets with speed and ease.The case is supported from the inside, so youwon’t be tearing the rims off the brass. A toolsteel, hardened swage rod (easy to change fromlarge to small primers) simply rolls the crimpaway. No reaming is necessary. Our unique com-pound cam leverage system assures not only easeof operation, but perfect alignment with each andevery round. Sound simple? It is and it works.What’s more, it’s inexpensive. The Super Swage600 comes with large and small swage rods. 6.8 SPC Back-Up Rod O54-62124 $20.959mm Adaptor O54-62168 14.95.40 S&W Adaptor O54-62169 14.95

The RT 1500 is used just like astandard size die. The big dif-

ference is that while you are push-ing the case into the die to size it,an electric motor driving a car-bide cutter at 4500 RPM is trim-ming the case to length. Chips aredrawn off through a vacuum man-ifold that clamps to the outside ofthe special size/trim die. (Vacuumcleaner and hose not included.)The RT 1500 is equipped with a

quick-disconnect power cord;and it can be used on any stan-dard reloader, single stage orprogressive.

This holster/mag pouch combina-tion was designed specifically for

the Single Action Shooting Society’s“Wild Bunch” category of CowboyAction Shooting, incorporating a hol-ster and mag pouch that look likethey were made at the turn of thecentury, yet feature state-of-the-artspeed and accuracy. The holster ishard molded so as not to lose itsshape even after thousands of draws.It spaces the pistol’s grip frame awayfrom your body so you’ll get a fullcombat grip, and the holster includes

the T-nut lock system to ensure that itstays in place during a draw.

The mag pouch spaces the maga-zines so when you grab one mag, thesecond isn’t in your way; above thebelt line so the belt doesn’t interferewith the draw; and at the max depthrequired by the sport – and no more– so you’ll get a full grip and the abil-ity to index with your forefinger for arapid mag well insert.1911 Holster O54-19947 $139.95Mag Pouch O54-19946 44.95

Mr. Bulletfeeder has been around for some years now,and has gained a huge following worldwide. The

patented system is by far the best performing personal-usebullet feeder on the market, and has been, since itsintroduction in 2006. Double-Alpha Academy has teamedup with RAK Systems, the original designer and patentholder of the system, to redesign and streamline theproduct, making it more compact, more versatile, betterlooking and more affordable than ever before.

The Mr. Bulletfeeder by Double-Alpha is now aproduction-grade product, with Double-AlphaAcademy – a world leader in practical-shooting-relatedproduct manufacturing and distribution – at the helm.The design allows the bullet collator to be mounted ontothe casefeeder, eliminating any increased footprint andspace use, and the new patent-pending dropper is ahuge step forward in design, durability and reliability.

Lose a spacer? This four-pack of Nose Guide

Spacers is identical to whatcomes with the Mr. Bullet-feeder. These are used to

adjust the height of bullets,so they don’t spill out or

flip upside-down.

The Output Tube Assembly is what connects the Mr.Bulletfeeder by DAA’s collator to the dropper. It

feeds the bullets into the dropper, keeping them alignedand feeding smoothly. The Small Output Tube Assemblyis required for the rifle calibers (both .223 and .308) as

well as when loading very short, light 9mm bullets, suchas many of the 90-grain bullets available. The Large Out-put Tube Assembly is required when loading 9mm (over

115-grain bullets), .40, or 45.

Sizing/Depriming DieOur sizing/depriming dies feature a unique “floating

decap assembly” with a snap spring that throws thespent primer off the pin and eliminates the problem ofprimer “draw back” that often occurs when decappingmilitary brass. The primary feature of Dillon’s size diedesign – the long, tapered carbide ring with a radiusedopening – remains unchanged.

That radiused opening, and its importance to progres-sive reloading, is one of the reasons why our seat andcrimp dies are better. We found a way of manufacturingthese dies that has enabled us to make the lead-in radiuseven bigger! The bigger radius makes progressive loadingwith our equipment even smoother – but that’s still onlya part of the story.

Bullet Seating DieOur quick-disassembly seat die allows the user to dis-

assemble and clean the seat die without losing adjust-ment. In this manner, bullet lube and shavings can bequickly removed from the die, thereby guaranteeing aconstant seating depth. We’ve incorporated a “flip-flop”seating stem and a clip that enables you to remove thedie insert and change the seating stem from round noseto semi-wadcutter without unscrewing a seating stem outof the die body. We’ve always included both types ofseating stems, but the new double-ended design makes ita simple matter to remove a pin, reverse the seatingstem, make any minor seating depth adjustments thatmay be necessary and go on loading in a fraction of thetime it used to take.

Crimp DieWe’ve made it easy for you to remove the die insert

for cleaning without having to change the critical crimpadjustment. Once your crimp die is set for the properamount of crimp, you’ll never have to change it. This isespecially good news for all of you who load lead bul-lets! Before, you had to unscrew the die from the tool-head and disassemble the die in order to remove anybullet lube or lead residue. Then, you had to start fromsquare one to re-adjust the crimp. Those days are over.All you have to do now is pop a clip and the die insertdrops into your hand for cleaning.

NOTE: All Dillon Pistol Die sets include our sizer/decap die,seat die and a separate crimp die. (Taper crimp for autos;

accu-crimp for revolvers.)

Dillon Three-Die Rifle Die Sets include a sizing/depriming die, a bullet seating die and a taper crimp die.Dillon Two-Die Rifle Die Sets include a sizing/deprimingdie and a seat/crimp die.

Sizing/Depriming DieThe sizing/depriming die is full-length, to minimum

tolerances, sizing cases down to function in semi- andfull-automatic firearms. We strongly suggest that a head-space case gage be used to correctly adjust the size die.

For high volume users, such as commercial reload-ers, law enforcement agencies, and high power orservice rifle competitors, we also offer .223 and .308die sets with a full-length carbide sizing die. Lubrica-tion is still required, but the increased scratch resist-ance and die longevity of carbide are of great benefitto these groups of users.

The depriming assembly includes a carbide expanderball for “squeak-free,” effortless neck expansion. Thisexpander ball is located in the middle of the deprimingstem to take advantage of superior initial leverage foreasier extraction.

In the event of a stuck case, the design of the deprim-ing assembly allows it to function as a stuck caseremover.

Bullet Seating DieOur bullet seating die is internally designed to keep

the bullet straight throughout the seating process. Onceproperly adjusted, the only measurable runout will bethat which is inherent in the bullet.

Taper Crimp DieThe taper crimp die is also specially configured to

center both the case neck and the case body, therebyaligning the entire cartridge for a more uniform crimp.Dillon Rifle Dies are designed to meet the more rigidrequirements for both accuracy and precision demandedby today’s marksman.

A taper crimp die is preferred for loading ammunitionintended to be used in semiautomatic firearms withdetachable box magazines, and in lever-action firearmswith tubular magazines.

By Mark PixlerI’m NOT worthy.That was the thought that popped into my head

when I started shooting the JP Enterprises GMR-159mm Carbine. The Aimpoint Comp 5 optic I hadordered specifically for the GMR-15 hadn’t yetarrived, but I wanted to get it out to the range andtry it with various ammo, so I clamped on aGG&G quick-detach scope mount with a Bushnell1.5 – 6x scope I happened to have in my officeand took it to the range.

I had done a quick-and-dirty bore sightingstanding against the north wall of the dining room,through the kitchen, and onto the south livingroom wall with a laser boresighter and figured thatwas good for about 10 yards or so. As it turnedout, I was pretty close. From the bench, the car-bine shot a ragged single-hole group from thebench at 10 yards. Not exactly at my point of aim,but close enough for me to determine that JP’shandiwork was…well…awesome.

I tried the GMR-15 with the 9mm ammo I hadon hand: factory Sellier & Bellot 115-Gr. FMJ andmy handloads using SNS Casting’s coated 135-

Gr. RN projectiles and Accurate #5 powder. Bothshot equally well, so I used my handloads when Itook the GMR-15 to a local subgun match. Whiletaping up my targets at the match, one shootercommented that my double taps looked like littlepeanuts – all over the target, mind you, but littlepeanuts! Lets me know that I made the right deci-sion on my “carbine load” with the 135-Gr. bul-lets and Accurate #5. The downside is thatdespite the polymer coating, the compensator onthe GMR-15 did get leaded up a bit (sorry JP!)and it took the trusty old comp-cleaning recipe of50/50 white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide toclean it up.

When I started my “quest” for a pistol-calibercarbine, I tested an AR-15 that used the standardColt/UZI-style magazines and thought the magswere a bear to load, and found that because of thedistance the round had to travel from the maga-zine to the breech, feeding problems occurredwith some bullet shapes. That, and the prolifera-tion of GLOCK-style magazines on the markethelped me narrow my choice to a PCC that coulduse GLOCK mags.

The GMR-15 worked flawlessly with the fol-lowing: factory GLOCK 33-round mags, a MagPulPMAG 15 that I used while bench resting it, andan Elite Tactical Systems GLK-18 31-round maga-zine with a Taylor Freelance (taylorfreelance.com)Magazine Extension. I highly recommend thatyou pick up the ETS C.A.M. Pistol MagazineLoader if you’re going to be using the 30+ roundmagazine with extensions, though, in order tosave your fingers. Even with the 10-round exten-sion, I was only able to insert 35 rounds with my(aching) thumb alone.

When I spoke to Adam Burt, the general man-ager at JP Enterprises, about reviewing a GMR-15,I asked about an optic to go with it. I wanted touse an optic worthy of the rifle. Too often, I’ll seesomeone purchase a premium rifle and hobble itwith a bargain-basement optic. Adam suggestedthe Aimpoint Comp M5 and introduced me via e-mail to Brittany at Aimpoint (aimpoint.com).

What I like most about the Comp M5 is that itcan be used as an occluded-eye gunsight. In otherwords, you leave both lens covers closed and therear lens cover has a window that allows you to

see the red dot on a black background. With botheyes open, you see the red dot superimposed overthe target and it works just as if you were lookingthrough the sight tube. Some of the earliest red-dotsights worked this way, and unfortunately, they fellout of favor over time. For those of us with eye-dominance issues, they work particularly well. Fornormal folks, maybe not so much. Fortunately,they can use the Comp M5 with both lens coversopen as intended.

The carbine and sight worked well together, faroutpacing their somewhat hapless operator at thelocal monthly subgun match. I did manage (even-tually) to hit everything I aimed at, with the excep-tion of a few plates on several plate racks, whichrequired repeat shots to knock down. My fault, notthe gun’s or sight’s.

My misses might have had a bit to do with thehasty boresighting technique I used when I mount-ed the Comp M5. Sort of a “well, it’s about 15paces from the corner of the photo studio to thisspot outside the door in the hallway and that oughtto be pretty good” effort. I did notice that given

DP

how far the sight is above the bore, zero-distanceis pretty critical on the AR-15-style PCCs. That’sone reason why serious PCC competitors tend tohave both close- and medium-range optics mount-ed on their guns, similar to serious 3-gunners.

Since I’d shot one of the subgun matches before,I decided roughly 10-15 yards would be adequatefor my purposes. In the future, I’ll probably go thetwo-optic or irons-and-optic route as well.

Meanwhile, I have to tell you that the JP Enter-prises GMR-15 is not your garden-variety PCC.And, that the GMR-15 I tested isn’t your garden-variety GMR-15. Pricing for the GMR-15 starts at$1699. This particular rifle would retail at around$3000. For the extra money, what you get is the JPPSC-17™ Dual-Charging Upper, JP EZ Trigger Fire

Control Package with an Armageddon Gear Revo-lution Roller Trigger, JP 3-Port Compensator, JP MKIII Signature Series Modular Hand Guard, JP Ther-mal Dissipator, and a Gray Cerakote finish.

There’s a reason serious professional, competi-tive and recreational shooters choose JP Enterpris-es rifles. Quite simply, it’s because JP Enterpriseshas the reputation of offering premium productsdesigned to exceed one’s expectations and for pro-viding stellar customer service. In this or any otherindustry, there’s not much more you can ask for ina company.

By John MarshallIt was January 26, 1945, during World War II.

Just outside of Holtzwihr, France, U.S. CompanyB, 15th Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division was underattack by six tanks and roughly 250 Germaninfantrymen. Nineteen-year-old Second Lieu-tenant Audie Murphy, then acting commander ofhis severely depleted company, ordered his mento fall back to prepared positions in the relativesecurity of a nearby forest. Murphy himselfmanned a forward observation post to directartillery fire. He had had run out of ammo for hiscarbine, so Murphy, under withering fire, racedforward to a disabled, abandoned and burningAmerican M10 tank destroyer. On its top was aBrowning M2HB .50-caliber machine gun.

Murphy took immediate control of the big gun,and used it to virtually destroy advancing infantry-men on three sides of him. He figured that thetanks would not go further without supportinginfantry, and he was right. After totally disruptingthe German advance single-handedly for an hour,he ran out of ammunition. Leaping off the vehiclein spite of a serious leg wound, he returned to histroops to call in artillery. Then, refusing medicalattention, he led his men forward in a counterat-tack to rout the enemy.

Shortly after he left the still-burning tankdestroyer, it exploded, no doubt causing Murphy tothank his lucky stars. For his actions on this day,Murphy was awarded our nation’s highest honor,the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was tobecome the most decorated U.S. soldier of WorldWar II. Murphy died a month short of age 46 onMay 28, 1971, in a tragic airplane crash.

The formidable type of machine gun that Mur-phy used in that exploit is now the longest-servingmilitary firearm in U.S. history. Over three millionhave been built since 1921, and it’s still in servicewith our armed forces around the globe. It wasoriginally designed by the immortal John Browningin 1918 as a water-cooled scale-up of his earlier

.30-caliber M1917 machine gun. The .50BMG (Browning Machine Gun) cartridgeutilized was in turn a scaled-up versionof the standard .30-06 round. The orig-inal gun, designated as the M1921,weighed in (with the water-filled cooling jacket) at 121pounds. Considerablylightened by removal ofthe water jackets andequipped with lightweightbarrels, versions ofthis gun wereexperimentallymade for aircraft usefrom 1921 through 1937.

Following Browning’s death in 1926, Dr. S.H.Green further developed the original design from1927 to 1932. He came up with a modified singlereceiver that could be used in seven types of .50-caliber machine guns by using different barrelsand/or water jackets and other specialized com-ponents. Unlike the original M1921 (left sidefeed), this receiver could be rigged to feed fromeither the right or left side. This made it ideal forspecialized use in aircraft wings and side-by-sidemountings. In 1933, Colt made several proto-types, and the newly-designated M2 was manu-factured beginning in that year with support fromthe U.S. Navy.

A version that dispensed with the water jacket,using a heavy air-cooled barrel, became known asthe M2HB (heavy barrel). This dropped the weightto almost 84 pounds. A useful modificationallowed a quick-change barrel, which could beheadspaced to the receiver rapidly in the field.There was an AN/M2 version with a much lighterbarrel (total weight 60 pounds) that became stan-dard for use in military aircraft. This was widelyused in many fighters and bombers during WWII.As a side note, an uncle-in-law of mine mannedone of these as a waist gunner on a B-17 bomber

Since the M2 fires from a closed bolt on theshort-recoil principle, it was easily modified forsynchronized firing through the propeller of fighteraircraft. This system was used by the P-40Warhawks used in the early stages of WWII, andnotable for their use in China by Claire Chenault’s“Flying Tigers.”

The M2HB has a cyclic rate of 450-575 roundsper minute or at an optional slower rate. It canalso be fired in single-shot mode. This factprompted legendary U.S. Marine sniper CarlosHathcock to custom-mount a Unertl scope onone and achieve enemy kills at incredible dis-tances in the Vietnam War. One confirmed kill ata measured 2,460 yards was a world record untilbroken by a Canadian sniper in 2002. The

AN/M2 aircraft guns fire at a 750-850 rpm rate. When modi-

fied for electrical ormechani-

cal cyclicboosting (the AN/M3versions), they can fire atmore than 1,200 rpm. M2HBsused in quad mounts for ground usewere particularly effective for anti-aircraft andmass personnel use at extended distances. DuringWWII, there were reports of snipers firing fromtrees being quickly eliminated by quad-50s sim-ply cutting down entire trees at trunk level withlong bursts. Army heavy weapons companies inthe war were each issued one M2HB with aground tripod mount for use where needed.

In October of 2010, the Army type-classified anM2A1 version which incorporates a new quick-change barrel and removable carrying handle, avery effective slotted flash suppressor, fixed head-space and timing (the point in the cycle at whichthe cartridge optimally fires), and a trigger-blocksafety. With these modifications, a shot-out or red-hot barrel can be changed out in seconds with noheadspace adjustment. Conversion of M2HBs tothe new system began in June 2011.

Browning M2s have been adopted as standardby an incredibly long list of other nations, a ring-ing endorsement of the gun’s abilities. The A to Zlist of these nations is way too long to print here,but it is very impressive. Virtually any war youcould mention, from WWII to the present, hasseen the employment of these remarkableweapons. Over a dozen U.S. companies havebeen involved in its manufacture, and many havebeen produced worldwide.

The specifications for this robust machine gunare as follows: Weight: 83.8 pounds. Total weightincluding ground tripod and traversing/elevationmechanism: 127.9 pounds. Barrel length: 45

Muzzle velocitywith M33 ball ammunition(bullet weight 660 grains):2,910 feet per second. Feedsystem: Belt fed, using M2 orM9 metal links.

The operation sequenceshould be learned by everyU.S. infantryman. The bolt latchrelease must be locked downbefore beginning to load. Theammunition belt is fed from aside mount into the gun. Thebelt is pulled through theaction as far as it will go, andwhile retaining the grip, pullback on the operating handleas far as possible and release it.This half-loads the gun. Pull theoperating handle back all theway again and release it to

complete loading. Unlock thebolt latch release by pressingdown on it. Pressure on thethumb trigger will now fire thegun as long as it’s pressed oruntil it runs out of ammo. Itshould be fired only in shortbursts. To unload, lift the coverand remove the belt. Pull theoperating handle back and lookand feel in the chamber to besure the gun is unloaded.Release the bolt and let it goforward, then lower the cover.

The M2 series machine gunsare incredible. No othermachine gun in history has hada longer service life – in U.S.service continuously since1921. It is still a vital compo-nent of our small arms arsenal,and is in active service withmany other nations as well.The grand old “Ma Deuce” isindeed a classic both in termsof longevity and devastatingeffectiveness.

Story and photos by Doug LarsonEvery once in awhile, a new gun comes along

that changes the common standard. And the SIGP365 does just that.

Up until the P365 was introduced, a subcom-pact gun of similar size would carry only six orseven rounds of 9mm Luger in the magazine. Thatwasn’t much, but it did permit the gun to be moreeasily carried discreetly, especially in a pocket.But now, the P365 has changed the game byincreasing magazine capacity to 10 or 12 rounds.Somehow, SIG managed to stuff a modified dou-ble-stack magazine in a grip about the same sizeas those of most small single-stack handguns.

While small guns appeal to some because theyweigh less than a full-size gun and take up lessspace so are easier to carry discreetly, they aregenerally more difficult to shoot accurately or rap-idly. A shorter sight radius and often, fixed minis-cule sights make accurate shooting a challenge.And a narrow, short grip that most of the time pro-vides no place for the little finger to grasp the gun,make holding onto it under recoil very hard, espe-cially when firing rapidly. The P365, though, willbe a pleasant surprise to those lucky enough to gettheir hands on one.

I recently attended a special event at Gunsite(gunsite.com) where instruction was provided onconcealed-carry techniques. For three days I car-ried a gun in a front trouser pocket using a FrontPocket Horsehide Holster by Galco (galcogun-leather.com) while most others in the class carried

a service-size or compact duty weapon concealedon a belt holster. However, the P365 proved to beso user friendly that I won the quick draw man-on-man contest where contestants were required todraw from concealment and deliver a hit on asteel plate before the opponent. And I do not con-sider myself to be a champion competitor – farfrom it. The SIG P365’s shooter-friendly attributesplayed a huge role.

It’s small, but still easy to shoot. The gun has abarrel length of 3.1 inches and an overall length ofonly 5.8 inches with an empty weight of just 17.8ounces. It’s slim with a one-inch wide grip and aslide that is actually about one-tenth inch slimmer.

A critical handgun dimension that affects easeof concealment is grip length. And here, the P365essentially matches a Kahr PM9 and Walther PPKwith an overall length of about 4.3 inches meas-ured from the top of the sights to the toe of thegrip with the flat-base 10-round magazineinstalled. But the magazine capacity beats boththe PPK and PM9 by four rounds or 66 percent.That’s thanks to SIG’s patent pending, modifieddouble-stack magazine.

While the P365 is comfortable to shoot withthe flat-base 10-round magazine installed, SIGoffers an extended baseplate for it, which providesadditional gripping surface of about two-tenths ofan inch, making the gun even easier to shoot. Andremarkably, only another two-tenths of an inchlonger, the 12-round magazine doubles the capac-ity of the other two guns. And with the 12-round

magazine, overall height of the gun still permitseasy discreet carry, even in a pocket.

The trigger guard is generously sized and is sig-nificantly undercut to permit a higher grip, whichhelps to reduce felt recoil. The standard SIGLITEnight sights are excellent and feature tritium filledvials, which make them visible in dim light. Evenin broad daylight, the front sight is easy to seethanks to a bright-green ring surrounding the tri-tium vial. These drift-adjustable sights are worthyof a full-size gun.

A great aid in making the P365 a user-friendlystriker-fired pistol is the trigger. It’s a two-stagedesign with smooth take-up, a somewhat spongysecond stage and then a positive break at just overfour pounds. Reset is distinct. Although the triggerstroke description is not flattering, in actual use itis a very useful and easy-to-manipulate trigger thatdoes not hinder accurate shooting.

The magazine-release button is located on theleft side at the junction of the trigger guard andfront strap. Some people with medium or smallhands will have trouble ejecting the magazinethough – the button could be more promi-nent. And the backstrap configura-tion, com-bined withthe maga-zine base-plate,results inthe rear ofthe base-plate con-tacting theheel of thehand,whichkeeps themagazine from falling free whenejected. However with practice andproper training, this shortcomingcan be overcome.

The gun’s polymer grip has slip-resistant texturing that reminds one ofskateboard friction tape and is very effec-tive in anchoring the gun in the hand. The gripmodule surrounds a stainless-steel chassis withslide rails in much the same manner as the SIGP320, which leads to speculation that SIG mightoffer different grip modules in the future.

The polymer grip module also features a SIGproprietary accessory rail just forward and abovethe trigger guard. SIG plans on offering a laser unitand tactical light for the gun. Up top, the slide ismade of stainless steel with serrations front andrear and is finished with black Nitron, making fora durable and rust-resistant finish.

During the entire test period, there were nomalfunctions of any kind with a variety of ammu-nition. And field stripping for cleaning is easy.After making absolutely sure the gun is unloaded,

the slide is locked to the rear, the takedownlever located just forward of the slide lock isrotated 90 degrees and the slide is moved forwardto separate it from the chassis rails. The dual-spring guide rod assembly is then removed andthe barrel is lifted from the slide.

Apparently SIG has big plans for the P365 andis planning to produce special self-defense ammu-nition and a suppressor for it. Additionally, an airpistol is in the offing that can be used for practice.

yet shoots like a much larger gun.

REDDINGReloading Dies & Accessories

Acharacteristic of virtually all progressive reloadingmachines, regardless of brand, is that the dies are set

rather close together. When you are first setting up a“naked” machine, there is plenty of wrench room, but ifyou have a need to adjust a die afterward, it often re-quires a delicate touch to maneuver a lock ring on acrowded toolhead.

Dillon Precision has addressed this in two ways. Wenow offer new 1” die lock rings and a 1” Bench Wrenchto fit them. This combination gives much more room to

re-adjust dies after they’re already mounted. The oppo-site end of our new wrench is a 7/16” box-end for ad-justing the Powder Bar of any Dillon Powder Measure.Our new lock rings fit any standard 7/8” x 14 dies.

By Duane ThomasThere are two schools of thought on becoming

really good at executing a draw from concealment.(1) It’s really not that important a skill to have, theimportant thing is to see the problem coming soonenough we can meet the enemy with the gun al-ready in a two-handed firing grip. You’ll commonlyhear this attitude summed up as, “The fastest drawis to start with the gun already in your hands.” (2)Being able to execute a fast draw from conceal-ment is very important. Most of us carry our de-fense gun concealed, and, while seeing theproblem coming early-on is certainly desirable,perhaps not always possible. Being able to producethe gun swiftly in an emergency is an importanttool to have in our repertoire of defensive skills.

I believe both camps have valid points. Situa-tional/environmental awareness is hugely impor-tant. So too is the ability to produce your weaponin a fast, efficient manner. So let’s not argue aboutwhich is more important, and accept that havingboth in our bag of tricks is better than having sim-ply one and not the other.

I cannot help but notice that many people inthe “Being able to do a concealed draw is not im-portant” camp are those who can’t do a fast drawfrom concealment. Therefore they have to believethat hole in their skill set is immaterial. You’ll alsohear them say things like, “Drawing from conceal-ment is a fine motor skill fraught with opportuni-ties to fumble under stress.” The truth is that doinga fast, efficient draw from concealment is just amatter of stringing together a sequence of big, sim-

ple movements, not the equivalent of performingbrain surgery while wearing kitchen mittens thatthose who can’t do it believe it is, and that stress-resistance, like smooth efficiency, comes withpractice. Let me make this really clear: I’m notsaying that doing a good draw from concealmentdoesn’t require a serious amount of practice. Itdoes. I’m just saying that the basic movements aresimple and easy to understand, and, once we’veput in the practice time, easily executed. The peo-ple who complain about how “hard” and “fumble-phone” is this process are those making excusesfor their lack of practice. This brings us to the topicof how to do a good concealed-carry draw.

First, let’s ask ourselves in what position ourhands should be before starting the draw. I’m a fanof the John Farnam recommended approach of,the instant you realize you might be in a “draw”situation, grabbing the front of the concealing gar-ment on the gun hand side, staging it to flingbackward out of the way to expose the gun. Somepeople don’t like that, believing this is a “pre-as-sault indicator,” i.e. an alert opponent might rec-ognize this means we’re carrying a gun and readyto draw. By contrast we have the “knife blade”technique where the master hand is held stiff withthe fingers outstretched, and the hand is supposedto “knife” between our body and the concealinggarment. I don’t like the knife blade because, inmy experience, its success is highly dependent onthe sort of clothing worn. A baggy shirt can easilysnag our fingers as they should be smoothly “knif-ing” between the shirt and the vest/jacket. I prefer

SHOOTING TIP: THE C

Step 1: The concealing garment isflung back, the master hand acquires agrip on the gun butt, the support handmoves toward the body’s mid-line.

Step 2: The gun comes out of theholster, the support hand is flat

against the body and staged to meetthe master hand.

Step 3: The hands meet high, thetwo-handed grip begins to build,the gun muzzle is up and orienteddownrange, though not yet fullyhorizontal. The index finger is still

outside the trigger guard.

to grab the covering material and fling it backwardout of the way, fully exposing the gun and holster.Thus, once we’ve gotten the covering garment outof the way, it becomes a non-factor in the draw,we will have the gun out and aimed and possiblyeven firing before the material has even settledback into place.

The most commonly prescribed starting posi-tion in “combat” pistol matches is “hands natu-rally at sides.” I call that the “cold start”technique, since it simulates being taken totally bysurprise. While I like the Farnam technique, hon-estly the vast majority of my own concealed drawpractice goes from the cold start. Thus if I see theproblem coming in time to stage my hand in theFarnam technique, I’m ahead of the game; if Idon’t, it’s no big deal.

Looking at the photos taken for this article, bythe way, I have to confess I didn’t realize I flingthe gun hand side of my vest to the rear so hardduring a concealed draw it actually wraps aroundbehind my body. I deliberately carry my cellphone and key ring in my right lower vest pocket,partly because, as a right-handed person, that’sthe most efficient location to access them and putthem away, but also because I know it gives thatside of the vest a nice amount of weight to pull itup and to the rear, totally exposing the gun andholster on the draw.

It’s commonplace to break the draw down intofour steps. Some people do three. I break it downinto six. While some people believe “a three-stepdraw is faster than a four-step draw because it has

less steps,” that’s really not true. What makes atechnique fast isn’t how many “steps” it has, it’show much wasted movement we’ve cut out, andthat’s far easier to do when we can place attentionto how we execute the technique all along theway. Actually, I’d probably be faster if I broke thedraw down even further than this.

Step 1: The concealing garment is flung to therear, the master hand acquires its grip on the gunbutt. The web of the hand snugs into the recurveof the grip tang, the thumb is flagged high, both toassist the hand sliding into position and to openup the side of the grip panel for the support handto slide into place. The support hand begins tomove toward the body’s mid-line.

Step 2: The gun comes out of the holster andis rotated forward, it’s drawn high, the supporthand is now flat against the body, getting it out ofthe way of potentially being crossed by the gunmuzzle.

Step 3: The hands meet high, the two-handedgrip begins to build, the gun muzzle is up andoriented downrange, though not yet fullyhorizontal. The index finger is still outside thetrigger guard.

Step 4: The gun is now out and horizontal andbegins to be pushed forward. At this point, andnot before, the finger begins to slide inside thetrigger guard.

Step 5: The gun is on its way toward the target,the sight are visible in our lower vision, the triggeris prepped.

CONCEALED-CARRY DRAW

Step 4: The gun is fully upand horizontal, and has justbegun its extension towardthe target. The index fingerbegins to slip inside the

trigger guard.

Step 5: The gun is up almost into lineof sight, the trigger is prepped.

Step 6: The arms reach full extension, thesights are aligned, at this point we clean upthe sight picture if necessary, and applythat last little bit of force to the trigger to

fire an accurate, aimed shot.

No s#!+, there I was…in my office,cleaning my 686 SSR when the boss

walks in with that “whisky-tango-foxtrot”look on his face. “Hi,” I said (thinking fast),“I’m trying out these Bore-tips before Iwrite the Blue Press copy for them. Theywork GREAT!” The Bore-tips Swabs REAL-LY DO work. What you can’t see under thefoam is a plastic jag sized for a tight borefit which provides for the uniform applica-tion of solvents and oils. They work withall standard 8-32 thread cleaning rods,and are tough and reuseable.

Step 6: The arms hit full extension and thetrigger is a fraction of a pound away from break-ing. At this point, depending on how solid is ourindex, and how far away the target, we might ormight not need to take a few extra hundredths ofa second to clean up the sight picture beforebreaking the shot.

Prepping the trigger on the draw, while simpleto do once you’ve mastered it, is something weneed to put a serious amount of practice time intobefore we ever attempt it with live ammo. I prac-ticed this for a solid month, hours every day, be-fore I ever tried it on the range with a hot gun.Even then, I started out doing it with live ammoreally slowly. The days of sub-second draws wereconsiderably in the future at that point. I wouldHIGHLY suggest you do likewise.

It’s important to realize, the only reason webreak the draw down into steps is to make thetechnique easy to learn. As our skill level pro-gresses, eventually the steps all blend into one,and it’s no longer “1-2-3-4-5-6,” it’s just “draw.”One movement. That happens with practice.

The technique I’ve just described is commonlycalled “the angle draw” because the “up thenout” movement track is described as “like a 90-

degree angle.” It’s really not, but describing itthat way does seem to help people understandthe basic concept. Sometimes you’ll hear this re-ferred to as “the American technique” since it’show the vast majority of trained shooters inNorth America have been taught to draw. Theangle draw has multiple good qualities. It’s easyto understand. It’s easy to execute. It allows us toget the sights up into the eye/target line earlyand use them to guide the gun on-target whileit’s still moving forward. This is very importantfor people who shoot multiple different guntypes, or are using a gun that doesn’t fit theirhand and point perfectly, or who have a less-than-solid index, since we can use our eyesightto largely compensate for those problems. Theshortcoming of the angle draw is that it’s not asfast as some other techniques. Drawing the gunhigh before beginning to drive it forward doesintroduce some wasted motion. However, thisarticle was about the angle draw, the simplest,easiest-to-execute technique that will swiftlygive us a good level of speed with accuracy onthe draw, and we’ll leave discussing other op-tions for a later date.

Scout Scope Mounts easily allow for complete DISASSEMBLYof your rifle for cleaning and maintenance while retaining zero.These rifles are designed so that carbon build-up can easily becleaned from the gas tube and piston. This is routine mainte-nance, necessary in order to maintain a properly functioningrifle.

By Jerry D’AmicoWhich is the most important of the four compo-

nents of your loaded round? Is it the projectile(bullet)? Is it the primer? Is it the powder charge?Or is it the only component that contains the rap-idly expanding hot gases that propel the projectileevery time you fire a shot?

Yes, I’m talking about the brass case. I knowmany shooters who will buy expensive jacketedbullets, expensive imported pow-ders, and insist on specificprimers. Then they loadthem all into brass casesthey picked up off theground at the range, whichthey roughly sorted, if atall, barely cleaned, andnever checked before, duringor after loading! I have a friendwho was shooting very well at anational-championship match, whena ruptured 9mm case stuck in hischamber and cost him what shouldhave been a first-place finish. If hehad been more selective aboutthe source of his brass, or atleast carefully sorted hiscases before, during, andafter loading he could haveprevented that disaster.

Let’s look at sourcing andsorting your brass for best resultsand start with the most commoncaliber in use today, 9mm. Thetechniques we discuss can beused for other pistol and rifle cal-ibers as well.

SOURCINGIn a perfect world we would

shoot only factory ammo, or buyand load only factory-new brass,shoot it once and leave it behind. Idon’t know anyone who can afford to do that! But,even with factory new un-primed cases, manufac-turers recommend you size them before loading.So the only time saved using new instead of previ-ously fired cases is the sorting and cleaning. Sinceyou should sort and inspect ALL your cases beforeloading, regardless of the source, factory newbrass cases only save you the cleaning step.

The next best option is so called “ONCEFIRED” cases. But unless you are the one whofired them “once” how can you be certain? I’venever met anyone who could tell exactly how

many times a case has been fired by looking at it!I have safely loaded and fired many well-worn pis-tol cases, and seen factory-loaded cases split thefirst time they are fired! YOU are the best judge ofthe condition of a spent case and whether or not itis safe and efficient to load and shoot it.

If you are an occasional shooter, recoveringyour own cases and others at the range shouldkeep you supplied. But if you train or compete

regularly you will soon discover, as Idid, that scrounging for brass

doesn’t provide a consis-tently adequate supply ofquality cases. Remember,

if it’s free, you’ll get whatyou paid for! I have afriend who shoots an open

gun and buys a batch ofnew .38 Super Comp brass at

the beginning of each year. Heloads major power factor and shootsthe daylights out of it all seasonlong. He leaves it on the groundafter the last match of the year andwatches with great amusement as

guys scurry to pick it up think-ing they’ve struck gold!

Seek out experienced rep-utable brass dealers, and I amnot talking about guys oncraigslist.org trying to peddle

brass they picked up at the range!Many gun shops and reloading-component retailers offer firedbrass cases you can buy withsome confidence. Sites like gun-broker.com allow you to checkthe feedback and reputation ofdealers before you buy, forcingsellers to be at least somewhataccountable for the quality oftheir product.

SORTINGIf you do your own sorting it’s easy, right? Any-

body can separate 9mm from .40 S&W and all theother calibers. But wait, what about separatingyour 9mm from .380 Auto and worse, 9mmMakarov? Yes, both of those smaller cases are turn-ing up everywhere; especially .380s now thatGLOCK and other makers are turning out more ofthe smaller pistols. The differences in the three areminute, just one millimeter in case length separatesMakarov (9x18) from standard 9mm (9x19) and.380 Auto (9x17). The smaller cases can quickly

find their way, undetected, into your loaded ammoand your chambers, with disastrous results!

The only way to successfully sort your cases isby LOOKING at and READING EVERY HEAD-STAMP. Now you see why starting with clean brassis so important! You can sort your cases by CALIBEReasily enough when they are still dirty. But youshould FINE sort and inspect only clean cases. It’s alot easier to read headstamps and assess the condi-tion of clean cases than dirty ones. Yes, it is tediousand time consuming, but you don’t get without giv-ing. Some shooters use those plastic slotted sortingbins you fill with cases and shake. [Editor’s note:See page 46 for the Shellsorter.] They work well forrough sorting by caliber but only if you sort one ortwo handfuls of cases at a time. You still need toFINE sort by hand, but you can save time and sortby HEADSTAMP (manufacturer) at the same time.All cases of the same caliber are NOT createdequal! Like different bullet styles and brands ofammunition, most guns will actually cycle andshoot better with some brands of brass cases overothers. Serious shooters experiment with differentbrands of components to find the perfect load. Youshould do the same with your brass cases; find thebrand that works best in each of your guns. Usingthe same brand will produce more consistentvelocities and more reliable performance.

Look for obvious signs of damage, excessivewear, fatigue and multiple firings. Watch for older“dated” cases, primer flattening, “flow,” and pierc-ing or other signs of excessive pressures. Split,dented and otherwise damaged cases should obvi-ously be scrapped. Check your nickel cases moreclosely; they tend to split sooner than yellow-brasscases. Some shooters don’t like them for that rea-son. Nickel cases are prized for their brightappearance and some believe they feed more eas-ily. Manufacturers seem to favor them for high-endself-defense loads. If you do load them it is not agood idea to mix nickel and yellow brass in yourloads as they can feed and perform differently.Headstamps worn to the point where they arehard or impossible to read is a telltale sign of mul-tiple firings. The same is true for multiple ejector“nicks” and wear around the case rim.

Look closely for BERDAN primed cases, theones with the two tiny flash holes instead of onelarge center one. These cases are of foreign manu-facture. The headstamps are often an odd mixtureof hard-to-decipher numbers and letters we like tocall “HIEROGLYPHICS.” The first time you break adecapping pin will the last time you don’t checkfor BERDAN primers. Headstamp rule of thumb:

“If you can’t read it, don’t load it!”Be on the lookout for steel cases, most are also

foreign manufactured and easy to spot with dullgray steel coloring and odd headstamps. But for-eign and even some domestic manufacturers pro-duce brass and nickel-colored or “washed” steelcases. You should check all your cases with a mag-net to be sure.

Watch for “NATO CROSS” stamped cases, mostcommonly 9mm and some rifle-caliber cases. Thestamp is a “CROSS” inside a circle and alwaysindicates the original round was manufactured tomilitary specifications with a crimped primerpocket. The military specifies the “crimp” to keepprimers from backing or blowing out fromincreased case pressure when the guns get hotduring rapid or full-auto fire. To avoid primer-seat-ing problems you must swage the primer pocketsbefore trying to seat a primer. [Editor’s note: Whileall NATO-CROSS-stamped cases have crimpedprimer pockets, not all cases with crimped primerpockets are so marked.]

A quick way to sort out split and damagedcases is to grab a handful at a time, cup yourhands together and shake them. Solid cases ofthe same caliber will make the same sound whenshaken together. A split, dented or damaged case,however slight, will make a very different, dis-tinctive sound as it strikes the good cases. Thatsound is best described as a “jingling” or whatwe refer to as “sleigh bells.” Remove the casesfrom your hands one a time, shaking in between,until the “jingle” stops, the last case you removedbefore the “jingle” stopped is the damaged one.You can check larger lots of cases at one time byspreading them across a towel on a hard surface.Pass your hand back and forth with just enoughpressure to shuffle the cases against each other.You will get the same result as shaking them ahandful at a time.

The same trick works for separating cases of dif-ferent calibers. Even an undamaged case of a dif-ferent caliber will make a distinctive sound whenshaken with other cases of the same caliber.

By Alan KorwinIf you say, “Yes,” purists on the gun-rights side,

and anyone who understands background-checkplans are really gun-registration schemes, isgoing to look at you with suspicion, or as adownright traitor.

Try saying, “No,” and much of the civilizedworld will come down on your head. Lamestreammedia will lead the charge, and no attempt toexplain how “rights don’t need permits,” and what“infringed” means will matter. Or be heard.

It’s tough to spot at first, but this is a classicloaded question like, “Areyou still beating your wife.”No simple answer gets youout of hot water. My guideto handling hostile inter-views generally suggestsresponding to these land-mines with a question, tobalance the scales. “Whatmakes you think I ever beatmy wife?” Because the per-son asking questions con-trols everything, doing thattakes control back when aninterview is that badlybiased. Happens often.

In this specific casethough, “Do you supportbackground checks?” has abetter answer: “Not as cur-rently configured.”

That doesn’t immediatelyinflame the sides, it allowsfor time. The interviewerexperiences some dead air,speechlessness, must think. You stand a chance ofa realistic dialog. It’s not anything the media hashad to contend with so far.

Power players on the pro-rights side need to getthis message: stop being defensive, or in denial, orcaving, and get a chance to confront the issue fair-ly. Force the other side to defend what turns out tobe an indefensible position.

“Not as currently... what? What do you mean?”Now they’re yours.

“Well, background checks as they currentlystand aren’t working, right? They haven’t affectedthe Muslim jihad or the jihadis, and they have noeffect on psychotic children willing to mass mur-der their classmates. After two decades, murderersin the inner cities are all armed and they keepkilling each other. So, I don’t know, do you sup-port that?”

Background checks – so highly praised up untilnow – are a self-evident failure. When you readthe proposed new laws, America is being misledby a few basically hard-core left-wing “democrat-ic socialists.” Thinly disguised as legitimate politi-cal operatives, they’re not looking out for oursafety. Their true goal, with the background-checkcanard and deceptive bills they’ve drafted, is todisarm the American public, coalescing power inthe armed hands of government. It only soundsradical because the mass media hides it so well.In fact, it’s exactly what socialists do, straight out

of history books.The youths now chanting

the background-check chanthave no clue about any ofthis. They haven’t beenasked a single hard questionon any of the so-called“news” shows.

Democratic socialism,progressives, leftists, liber-als, the constantly changingnames of the one group pro-moting the so-called back-ground-check scheme(which kids are now cryingfor) ought to be enough toalert America to what’sgoing on here. Start with theobvious. The highly toutedcurrent system has been inplace for decades – decades– and inner-city murderersare as armed as if there wasno system at all. The homi-cides and armed assaults

are unabated. That’s clue number one.Every mass-murder jihadi assault and crazed

spree murderer in a school – promoted on TV andprint media for weeks – was unaffected by themulti-billion-dollar background-check system.Even the “news” has pointed this out. Thoughthat’s a clue, now it’s a bargaining chip – “weneed more background-check-something,” we’retold. When you look at the proposals, though,none of them would affect the featured masshomicides at all (with a single military exception,at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars).

Sending the names of more than ten millioninnocent gun owners to the FBI every year haszero to do with stopping crime. ZERO. Do youeven need to be told that? A background check forcriminals needn’t require sending YOUR name tothe FBI – that’s a scam you’ve been sold.

Do You Support Background Checks?How Do You Answer Without Creating Enemies?

“If I believed backgroundchecks would solve

our problems, then yes, of course I would supportthem, any rational person

would. Why even ask? However, the homicide problems we’re having

aren’t related to background checks.”

The FBI could just as easily send encrypted“wanted posters” to dealers, so dealers can see ifthe buyer is a fugitive, murderer, rapist, arsonist,jihadi, illegal alien, certifiable lunatic or othermiscreant – all barred by EXISTING law from buy-ing guns. People who probably shouldn’t be onthe street at all, from a safety perspective. Maybeyou never thought about that. Maybe the “news”never mentioned it. The abused and assaulted guncommunity knows it well. Digital wanted posterswould be far less expensive, also.

Every background-check proposal skips the partwhere, after criminals walk into gun stores withcash and get turned down, crooks simply walk outfrustrated with their money in hand. Is that what“97% of the public supports,” as democrats claim?

No, as currently configured, a thinking personwho cherishes freedom and law cannot supportwhat the socialist left and their media teammatesare vigorously promoting.

Not all that long ago there were NO back-ground checks on gun sales. There wasn’t evenany paperwork. Americans simply bought guns atSears, or by mail. I saw ads for mail-order guns inmagazines I got at the local luncheonette. Kidswent to school in pickup trucks with rifle rackscarrying loaded guns. You wouldn’t THINK oftouching someone else’s gun. Shoot up your class-

mates? You couldn’t IMAGINE such a thing.Where would a person even GET such an idea?Read that line again, it’s important.

The second reasonable answer to the loadedquestion about gun checks is this: If I believedbackground checks would solve our problems,then yes, of course I would support them, anyrational person would. Why even ask? However,the homicide problems we’re having – jihadis,maniacs, inner-city gangs – aren’t related to back-ground checks.

America has been sold a bill of goods, bysocialists and a band of groupthink followersthey’ve snowed, including some otherwise prettydecent people.

This debate is not about background checks.That’s psychological diversion. This is aboutsocialism vs. The American Way. It’s so obviousafter decades of evidence, save for the misleadingeffects of the media’s constant deceptive drum-beat. That drumbeat is effective, isn’t it? But nowyou know.Alan Korwin’s website features plain-English

The CQC-6K is a manual opener using either the thumb diskor the patented Emerson “wave shaped feature.” This openingfeature enables the knife to be opened as it is removed from thepocket. The pocketclip is reversible for left- or right-handed carry.

Designed by Belarusian custom knifemaker Dmitry Sinkevich,the new Kershaw Pub looks like nothing you’ve ever seen.

Closed, you’d never know there was a handy blade inside –although you would definitely see the equally handy bottleopener. And if you were exceptionally sharp-eyed, you mightnotice the slotted screwdriver tip right next to the bottle opener.

To reveal the blade, just push down on what looks like thekey ring attachment. You’ll see the blade move out of the com-pact handle. Keep pushing and the blade will swing all the wayout, ready for use. The blade is a modified sheepsfoot with astraight edge and clipped rather than rounded tip. The handle hasan anodized aluminum front scale in bright blue and a steel back.
