Daniel Defense has a solid reputation as a manufacturer of top-tier AR-style rifles, so the firm’s recent introduction of a pistol-caliber carbine (PCC) was no surprise. It did, however, invite the question: Would the PCC live up to the high standards shooters expect from Daniel Defense? Before we answer that question, note that the Daniel Defense PCC was introduced in three versions, all chambered in 9 mm: the SBR with an 8.3-inch barrel, the large-format pistol with an 8.3-inch barrel and a brace and the PCC 916 carbine with a 16-inch barrel. We chose to test the 916 because it…

GoldenWebb has been known for burning it down with AR uppers to see how many rounds they can sustain before giving up. While these aren’t full-auto tests, they consist of magazine after magazine with the trigger pulled as fast as possible and in a standard cadence. It’s as close as you are going to get with a semi-auto carbine. Lewis Machine & Tool Advanced Technologies (LMT AT) had worked with GoldenWebb in the past and when he approached them to apply the same methodology to suppressors, they asked him to conduct a durability test to their ION 30 suppressor. The…

When Lt. Col. Sarah Bodenheimer, commander of the 355th Civil Engineer Squadron, was tasked with leading the Civil Engineering effort behind the Air Force’s Combat Air Base Squadron, there was no blueprint, only a concept. In less than a year, a first-of-its-kind unit had to be created from the ground up. “We didn’t know what would work, but we knew we had to try,” Bodenheimer recalled. With no precedent to follow, she forged the way forward. “I made sure the team knew that the ‘do nothing’ course of action wasn’t an option.” The CABS model brings together a cross-functional team…

By Travis Pike Posted in #Skills It is a bit of a coincidence that I write this on October 3rd, 2019. It’s the anniversary of the Black Hawk Down incident and Operation Gothic Serpent. The man behind this very drill, Kyle Lamb, was a Delta Operative involved in the operation. He’s currently the head honcho at Viking Tactics and designed the VTAC 1-5 Drill I am covering here (see video above). Mr. Lamb is one of the foremost experts in tactical handgun and rifle employment, and if you ever take a class with him, consider yourself lucky.…
