SIg Ammo review
SIG Sauer is getting in to ammunition business and Lucky Gunner did some review of the product. Surprisingly almost all calibers except .45 acp did not show any comparable or outstanding performance compared to current market offerings. .40 S&W did ok, passing 12-inch standard, but 9mm and .380 acp lacked penetration.
But all offerings were reliable and accurate.
You can read more about it from their website including some details

Remington R51 Problems
Military Arms Channel is reporting some problems with Remington R51 sent to one of his gunshop. The video is quite interesting. Remington did not have a sample at the Media Day and withdrew by lunch time. The sameples at the SHOT show didn't seem to have this problem but it could be that first production batches need some work done. However it doesn't excuse the problems seen in video.

The dangerous drawstring adjuster
Jacket drawstring adjuster and accidental discharge has been known for years and chief of Connersville, IN police is the latest victim. The news is a bit exaggerating but it is something to think about.
A lot of jackets have such adjusters and unless you are really using them it is a good idea to just cut them out. The strings can be attached together by other means. If not, you can use a duct tape but it probably won't survive fashion police's scrutiny.
The best way would be to clear your garment away from holster as much as possible. No one won shooting by doing the fastest reholstering.

When firearm enthusiasts come to Las Vegas, there is usually a plan to stop by a shooting range and have fun with select-fire weapons. The oldest in town is The Gun Store on Tropicana Ave. Within last few years there has been some other new ranges.
Battlefield Vegas is one of those relative new comers. Located behind Circus Circus, it is a bit off the Strip, but has been building its business steadily since it opened.
