Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! It was my dad that introduced me to firearms and taught me how to shoot and safely handle guns. He was also a lot like the dad in this comic strip.

Does Leaving Your Magazines Loaded Hurt Them?
Does leaving your magazines fully loaded hurt the spring tension? It’s an age old question that many gun enthusiasts have argued about for a long time. I feel that they do not, others feel that they indeed do. I always have a few magazines loaded, “just in case”. But to be safe I always have a few empty back-up mags ready for action. The person who made the above video asked, are you willing to bet your life on it? While there is no final word on whether leaving your mags loaded does indeed hurt them, the video does make some good points.
He advises to rotate your magazines and don’t keep them fully loaded for long periods of time. I think as long as you use quality magazines you’ll be good to go.

How Much Milsurp Ammo is Enough?
A while back we asked how many magazines per pistol is enough? Apparently you can never have too many magazines for your firearms, just like you can never have too much ammo, especially if it’s budget priced com block ammo. This guy has enough to start a well equipped militia should the opportunity arise.

Krebs Custom 6.5mm Grendel AK Rifle
The AK-47 is a rugged and reliable platform, but it’s not known as a tack driver of a rifle. Krebs Custom is putting that stereotype to the test with their prototype 6.5mm Grendel rifle based off the AK platform. Their new rifle seems deadly accurate shooting sub-MOA groups with Wolf ammo.
FNS-9 Striker Fire Pistol Coming to the US
The FNP and FNX series of pistols from FNH have become quite popular in the United States for its high quality and affordable price. Downrange.tv reported that FNH will add another pistol to their lineup in the United States with their new FNS-9 Striker fire pistols. Aimed at the US law enforcement market as well as consumer, the FNS-9 will debut sometime in 2012 and will feature multiple internal safeties, interchangable backstraps, amdixtrous controls and checkered grips. I’m a fan of the FN pistols with a hammer, and other pistols with a hammer like the 1911 and various Sigs, but striker fired pistol are very popular among law enforcement and consumers alike making the FNS-9 a logical step for FNH. If the new FNS-9 is as great as their FNP and FNX pistols they’re sure to find a niche here in the US.
