August 2022: New Guns and Gear

You are looking for a new iron, or a piece of kit to improve your existing one? Colt’s latest venture into revolvers is a bit of a thrill. The King Cobra Target.22 LR, affectionately called the “Baby Snake”, delivers the same aesthetics and performance as the original.357 Magnum but in a 10-shot rimfire. The all-stainless steel revolver is capable of some interesting twists, whether it is aimed at a bull’s-eye competition or high end plinking. The revolver is available in two lengths of barrel (4 and 6 inches), with a 1:16 twist. It also comes with Hogue rubber grips and a bright front fiberoptic sight. The King Cobra has a fully adjustable rear sight. This is a target model. Taurus 856 Executive Grade RevolverRevolver enthusiasts are well-versed in the cost-savings that Taurus has provided over the years. It’s been used by more than one penny-pincher. The introduction of the Executive Grade line by the Brazilian manufacturer means that the company is moving away from its proven track record. The 856 Taurus stalwart is the first to get things started. The +P.38 Special Executive Grade version is constructed around an all-stainless steel frame and features a set of Altamont walnut handles. Taurus designed the +P.38 Special for concealed carry. He bobbed the hammer and machined all snag point points. Each DAO trigger was hand-tuned by Taurus to ensure a smooth, stack-free pull. It looks like it offers some attractive upgrades for an extra cost. Standard Manufacturing Switch Gun. It’s difficult to get an armed citizen carrying their primary weapon consistently. Standard Manufacturing may have found a way to make it easier. The Switch Gun provides five rounds of potentially lifesaving.22 WMR in a small package that is not much larger than a spare magazine. The revolver, made of stainless-steel polymer and folds up into a small rectangle that can be folded into a pocket-rocket. It deploys at the touch of a button. There is one problem. It’s SAO, which may not be appealing to everyone. The Heritage Barkeep was a popular single-action army variant that made waves in 2021. It continues to be a popular choice for throw-back wheel guns, with one of the most unique configurations. The Barkeep Boot, as its name suggests, is Heritage’s attempt at something that can be slipped into your Tony Lamas stack. The.22 LR’s 1.68-inch barrel is small and weighs only 25 ounces. However, the six-round revolver will work well as a distinctive plinker. Heritage offers three options for the Boot Barkeep’s grip material: black wood, gray pearl, and wood with a serpent motif. Each comes at a steep price. A good gun vise should be the first thing you have on your bench. Real Avid has the solution. This unit is specifically designed for the job and offers a lot more flexibility than a traditional bench vise. The Master Gun Vise can reposition firearms to suit any angle, which is a benefit for many jobs. It also comes with accessories to make it even more useful. Gun-Fit jaw sleeves were a notable feature that allowed for precise hold of each firearm being worked on. The Master also includes a Torq-Lok pin to apply heavy force and a leveling knob for mounting scopes. Federal Premium ensures that these people have the best ammo available for their job. The ammo manufacturer recently introduced its Punch.22 WMR ammo. This ammo is designed to expand its range of personal-defense ammunition. The round features a 45-grain nickelplated lead-core bullet. It is optimized for personal-defense situations. This new load has been rigorously tested for reliability and functionality. The Punch.22 WMR case is nickel-plated for easy extraction and corrosion resistance. Federal ensures that the.22 WMR can protect your life. Federal has now added a souped up option to the tried-and-true.38 Special: A 125-grain +P load that is more than capable of handling business. The ammo is specially engineered to deliver top performance with short-barreled revolvers. It has a muzzle velocity of 945 feet per second, which guarantees top performance with Silvertip bullets. The projectiles were originally designed for law enforcement and provide penetration and quick energy release. There is virtually no weight loss and bullet fragmentation. The Super-X jacketed hollowpoints have notched jackets to ensure positive expanding. This makes them a devastating weapon channel.
