Magnum Research is launching a limited-edition Desert Eagle pistol chambered in the expected .50-caliber cartridge that’s equally as famous as these gas-operated Israeli-designed pistols, .50 AE (Action Express). These limited-edition pistols are all decorated in a Viking and old Norsemen theme. With a monotone, battle-worn finish and Viking motifs strewn about, this pistol’s aura relates to the eras of pre-medieval Scandinavia, its fierce warriors and their love for conquest and exploration. The Viking Desert Eagle is based on the .50 AE Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark XIX, the most-current .50-caliber model in Magnum Research’s catalog. Thanks to its one-of-a-kind gas…

Palmetto State Armory has just released a new version of its Krink AK pistol in 7.62×39.One of the most recognizable small arms in the world is the AKS-74U, a shortened version of the AKS-74 service rifle of the Soviet Union. In the West, it’s colloquially become known as the Krinkov, or Krink for short. With a shortage of original parts kits to build guns from in the U.S., Palmetto State Armory has been filling the void with its Krink AK pistols in various calibers. Having already released versions chambered for 5.56×45, .300 BLK and the original 5.45×39, PSA has just…

This idea grew in Chris Benchetler’s mind for over a decade — but life had to run its course before he could finally execute it. First, in 2013, he skied in the lightsuit segment in the Sweetgrass Productions film Afterglow. Then, in 2019, he made Fire on the Mountain with Teton Gravity Research (TGR), which became an instant cult classic ski flick. Athletes in skeleton LED suits shredded blower powder, sent big air, and ripped mountains apart under the cover of darkness, all to the music of the Grateful Dead, the soundtrack of Benchetler’s life. Those films opened doors, made…

Part of keeping costs down and affordable also means that the TriStar Arms APOC isn’t cut for optics.…

By Massad Ayoob Posted in #Guns When I was 10 years old, I read Jeff Cooper’s articles in Guns & Ammo magazine in which he extolled the 1911 “.45 automatic” as the ultimate gunfighting/self-defense handgun. What he wrote made a great deal of sense to me. All these years later, it still does. Slim and flat, among the easiest of full-size “fighting handguns” to discreetly, accessibly carry concealed. Unarguably adequate in power for its task, all the more so today with improved ammunition. It’s been long-since proven reliable. It has a low bore axis to minimize muzzle rise and…
