New Carry Pistols from VT

A further irritation to our “gun rights victimized” Euro-readers, this weeks preferred deals in carry hardware.  I am writing this on Thursday, the 23rd (January 2015).  I have just finished radio with Stew and then Rense, surprisingly tiring.

On both shows we talked about guns.  I see gun ownership as civic responsibility.  They can’t be uninvented and you can kill with a table knife.

It is our jobs to arm ourselves, within reasonable laws.  No legislation to protect us from ourselves is reasonable while a police state arms itself against us, and that is most certainly going on.

When government and criminal elements, one in the same in many cases, fear an armed populace of responsible and informed voters/gun owners, only then can we begin to turn things around.

They way it is now, not in all cases, maybe some, maybe many, we have to “protect and serve” ourselves.  So be it.

For those who don’t travel in Europe, seeing the streets lined with SWAT police with MP5 machine guns is the norm.  More than a couple of our European readers have gone into ‘zombie mode’ shock at the offerings VT makes through its Custom Shop.  As Mike Chester recently pointed out, “We won’t be happy until every VT reader is armed better than any police special operations unit in the world.”

Toward that end, we have designed a line of American weapons to shame the MP5.  Our “blackout” pistol in .300 caliber, costing only 30 percent of what an MP5 will run, weighs about the same.  We don’t offer full automatic and are limited as to folding stocks.  We use legal “braces” which fit over the buffer systems that make the far more powerful American weapons easier to handle and far more accurate.

They use 9mm pistol round.  Our smallest machine pistol (MP) uses the NATO .223 with ranges 3 times that of the 9mm.  Our largest, the .308 (7.62×51 NATO) has 9 times the stopping power and 5 times the range for the same size weapon.

The most popular MP is the “Blackout.”  This is a hybrid round designed around the .223 cartridge but using the .308 bullet.  More powerful than the AK 47 round, the blackout is smaller and yet a blackout based MP barely moves when fired.

What shocks Americans is what we see as the complacency of Europeans to disarm and hand their governments over to a gang of bribed bureaucrats in Strasbourg.  Our bribed bureaucrats are in Washington, something entirely different.

Last week, we watched the French bend over and kiss their honor goodbye, buying into a theatrical and childish staged phony terror attack and, in the process, further eroding their civil rights.  In America it required our government blowing up half of downtown New York.

..and people wonder why Americans love guns.

300 Blackout Carbine with premium optic

The traditional M4 Carbine done in .300 blackout with a premium heavy barrel capable of handing 150 grain plus at velocities well over 2000 fps.  Brunton scope is bright and clear, perfectly matched to the blackout performance.  Premium mil-spec iron sights and a detachable carry handle combined with an outstanding free float rail make this an desirable custom weapon.

Loadout:

HBAR .300 Blackout chrome lined super-premium barrel

NiBo Bolt Carrier Group ($175 value)

Trinity 12 inch free float quad rail (175 value)

30 round magazine

$999

.223/5.56 10.5 Inch AR Assault Pistol

There are shorter barreled AR pistols,  However, the .223 gives up range and ballistic performance quicker than the blackout.  If you have one weapon to buy, capable of putting out firepower and weighing virtually nothing, this is it.  This is simply a case of everything being right.

We added two inches of barrel and cut the weight with a ultra-light handguard but kept the flash can “overlap.”

Loadout

10.5 Inch super-premium chrome lined barrel

KAK Flash Can ($40 value)

Trinity 12 inch Free Float Quad Rail ($175 value)

800 lumen (rated) Cree weapons light ($90 value)

Troy Industries Swivel/End Cap ($60 value)

$999

7.5 inch 300 Blackout Assault Pistol

We tested this on loads approaching .308 performance.  Do not forget ear protection and, if you are shooting at night, make sure to bring a quality video camera, no one will believe it.  This comes with a 4x combat optic designed for hostage rescue teams, shooting a dime off a table at 50 yards.  Balance is perfect, handling is outstanding.  I would recommend that a serious shooter/collector buy both.

Loadout

7.5 Inch Super Premium chrome lined .300 blackout barrel

9 Inch Ultra Slim/lightweight free float rail ($165 value)

4x CQB scope with BDC (bullet drop compensator) and flash-kill ($225 value)

 .308 Pistol 11.5 Inch

This is the single most powerful weapon of its size in the world today.  With standard 25 round magazine, or an optional 50 round drum, this has unparalleled range and stopping power with ease of control.  This is the lightest .308 available.  Needless to say, this is also one of the rarest and hardest to get weapons in existence.  Considering that this is technically a pistol in full 7.62×51 NATO/.308 Winchester, we are breaking some new ground here.

Loadout

11.5 inch DPMS 1/10 twist custom barrel

SigTac Gen 2 Pistol Brace ($159 value)

UTG Pro .308 13″ Super Slim Free Float rail ($200 value)

Troy Industries QD Swivel ($60 value)

Forged Aluminum Upper and Lower receivers

Full automatic .308 Bolt Carrier Group ($249 value)

$1799 $1399

 VT Equipped M4 Carbine (popular)

We simply take a standard M4 Carbine and add over $300 in options, saving a trip to a gunsmith and months of screwing around.  This is  all anyone needs, affordable shooting, a decent optic, great ergonomics and NOTHING to replace and upgrade.

Loadout:

.308/7.62NATO Precision Sniper Rifle

Jewel quality “first” barrel in full 24 inch allows this .308 to deliver full ballistic performance at ranges above 400 meters. This converts quickly for use as a “field gun” as the barrel weight and design are suitable for both hunting and tactical use. Priced out at less than “parts only wholesale,” consider this a Christmas/Chanukah gift.

Load Out:

DPMS Stainless 24 inch “Lite” barrel ($300 value)

Premium Full automatic Bolt Carrier Group

15 inch Super Slim quad rail ($250 value)

ACL Stock ($120 value)

Ergonomic Grip ($25 value)

6×24 50mm scope ($120 value)

Harris type (UTG) bipod ($79 value)

25 round Magpul Gen 3 magazine ($25 value)

Palmetto receiver group

$1299

Mini-AK .223 Assault Pistol

We don’t normally offer AK products but this is a favorite.  The standard PAP/Serbian AK, selling “black market” for over $900 is offered with 3 30 round high quality steel magazines. The .223 round reduces recoil and nearly doubles effective range (based on rapid fire) when combined with a brace and holographic sight.

An aluminum pic rail is mounted on the sight rail, allowing full use of the high quality system.  Included is a high quality private label CQB Holographic sight using CR123 batteries.   Everything on this is rock solid.  We could make you the envy of every Kiev backed merc on the block.

Loadout:

10.25 Inch barrel

3 magazines ($100 value)

SigTac Brace ($159 value)

CQB Holographic Sight ($175 value)

Aluminum 3″ pic rail

$799
