UF Pro's handgun diarming technique test

UF Pro has been posting some videos and this one is putting handgun disarm tactics.


There are several things to keep in mind. First, outcome of technique does depend on people engaged in this situation. One may have better training or natural ability, resulting in different outcome.

Second, the situations in video maybe not be a good representation. In the video, shooter knows there will be disarming techniques. If this is done for real, there is no telling when this will happen. Element of surprise may be favoring the 'hostage'.

That said, anyone who carries guns for defense should not scoff at something like this. There are times when you might be the shooter, and the other way around.

USMC experimenting with rifles

US Marine Corp is experimenting several things and here are the most notable ones that hit the news recently

M27 trial: USMC adopted M27 IAR to have a bit more commonality between guns and lighter 5.56 machine gun. The new news is that 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines have been training with these as a part of pre-deployment excercise.

Some of draw backs mentioned in the article is the tendency to expend more ammunition and the cost of the rifle itself.

Silencers for whole Battalion: 2nd Division is running a trial where they will put silencer on every rifle, from M4 to M2 .50 cal. This is to see if silencers can help with better communication with lower sound signature.

What type of gun to use in home defense?

Matt Landfair of Primary and Secondary wrote about what type of gun to use for home defense. Pistol, shotgun, or carbine?

He goes through pros and cons. A bit long to read since the article also talks about some other considerations to make, but is certainly a good article
