On Feb. 10 South Dakota Gov. Larry Rhoden (R) signed Senate Bill 2, which deregulated suppressors at the state level. It’s a major development, despite the fact the federal requirement to acquire a National Firearm Act (NFA) Stamp before taking possession of one of the hearing-safety devices remains mandatory. More than a dozen states, including The Mount Rushmore State until Feb. 10, require residents to have an NFA Stamp to legally own a suppressor. With the cost of acquiring one reduced from $200 to $0 on Jan. 1, South Dakota’s move pre-emptively clears what would become an insurmountable hurdle should…

Ernest Landgon, founder of Langdon Tactical Technology (LTT), got his start with Beretta handguns in the Marine Corps, followed by time spent as a competitive shooter with Team Beretta, and ending up as a custom gunsmith. Based on that experience, it makes sense that two of LTT’s specialties are Beretta handguns and shotguns. The latest product of this collaboration is the LTT 80X Cheetah in .32 ACP. The LTT 80X applies the upgrades that the company provides to the 92-series to Beretta’s newest Cheetah. The model is now offered in .32 ACP. Known for customizing Beretta 92/M9 and PX4 handguns,…

The .380 ACP cartridge has historically been somewhat of a footnote in the U.S.; it’s too large to fit in tiny guns like the Colt Vest Pocket or Baby Browning, but for a long time was considered underpowered (as was the 9 mm for many years, until its adoption by the U.S. military in the 1980s). As ammunition design matured, and concealed carry blossomed across the country thanks to the efforts of the NRA, these cartridges became more significant, and the .380 ACP found its place in small firearms designed for this purpose. For example, we have the KelTec P3AT,…

00:00:10 Speaker 1: From Meat Eaters World News headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is Cow’s Week in Review with Ryan cow Calaian. Here’s cal iguanas fell from the sky in Florida last week, but it wasn’t a sign of the apocalypse or a plague. Instead, it just got a little chilly green. Iguanas aren’t native to South Florida, and it’s legal to kill them throughout the year, but controlling the population of large invasive lizards is a problem, which is why wildlife managers were happy to see a cold front moving in earlier this month. As with most cold blooded…

Measuring 5.6 inches long with a 1.4-inch bezel, the Inforce 650 LR-M is built for hard use within a 6061-T6 aluminum body that is then Type III hardcoat anodized for added durability and abrasion resistance. Intended for use aboard either a tactical rifle or shotgun, the light comes with a 45-degree, M-Lok-compatible, Scout-footprint mount, but it can also be used with several other mounts that Inforce offers. The LR-M generates 1,400 lumens and its internal reflectors are positioned for long-range target identification, providing a powerful 90,000-candela hotspot that can reach as far as 600 yards (just dial up your red…

The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) recently announced the acceptance of two new rifle cartridges for SAAMI standardization. Since its founding in 1926—at the request of the federal government—the organization has created the industry standards that ensure safety, reliability and interchangeability of firearms, ammunition and components. 8.6 Blackout The 8.6 Blackout—with the SAAMI abbreviated name 8.6 BLK—was introduced by Q, LLC. It was standardized with a 200-grain bullet traveling at a velocity of 2,200 fps and a maximum average pressure of 62,000 psi. The cartridge is based on the 6.5 Creedmoor, with the case shortened and neck widened…
