Little shooter upgrades caliber

ByEli Kim

It wasn’t that long ago that a reporter from the New York Daily News claimed that shooting an AR15 had given him “a temporary form of PTSD.” Now for most people familiar with firearms and those people who actually suffer from PTSD, this statement left a lot of us without words to even comment. The reporter went on to state, “For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.”

Incredible to believe, but there is a small minority of folks out there who have had overwhelming shooting experiences.

We got word from Sure Shot Magazine that one of their team’s junior shooters had just graduated to a new caliber and handgun and thought this would be a good opportunity to show some good shooting practices.

[ngg src=”galleries” ids=”63″ display=”basic_thumbnail”]Filmed above is Faith, one of the Sure Shot Magazine’s Mini Shots junior shooters at 11 years of age.

So we all know people who claim that “XYZ caliber is too much recoil or muzzle flip.” Show them this video and tell them that they just need a little patience, practice, maybe double up on hearing protection to be as happy and excited about shooting as lil Faith is like in the video.

When you get a chance check out Sure Shots magazine. A magazine for Locked and Loaded Ladies,

SI-Defense Ambi .308

You’ve seen the pictures, and maybe if you’re lucky, even handled one. A fully ambidextrous battle rifle chambered in .308 that weighs in at 8.5lbs? Yes, and it shoots like a dream as well. I am talking about the Si-Defense SI-D Ambi .308. Based out of Kalispell, MT, SI-Defense is poised to take the AR-10 market by storm with this new concept rifle that will hit the market soon.

The HK P30 – Refining an Almost Perfect Combat Firearm

I recently got my hands on TracerX’s Heckler & Koch P30s V3 and was very impressed with its ergonomics even though, due to my job, I’m on a Glock platform in my personal and professional life. I’m a lefty shooter, and the Hk is a pretty ambi-friendly gun. I’ve always believed Hk pistols to be well-respected combat firearms, until I felt the P30 trigger… it is abysmal. Heavy, gritty, ridiculously long take-up and reset, this is where the P30 series with the DA/SA trigger is seriously lacking. Due to the poor out-of-the-box trigger, I would not ever consider this pistol for daily carry, despite all of the other positive features of the pistol.
