HiPoint 2.0

I'll bet it would make a good hammer for minor construction projects. Gives new meaning to the term "tack driver!"

I believe it is polymer. Not so good for hammering.

Use the side of the Slide.

You guys see the EAA MKA 1923 there? Bull-pup 12 ga.

Nothing like saying, "fuck you" to the left handed people that might want to buy it.

Well...why do you always stand on the wrong side of the gun?

Here are the pics that I took today as PMB, Sinus211 and I strolled around.

We stopped at the Lone Wolf booth and chatted with Caleb Giddings, former Top Shot contestant and Washington state resident. He showed us some of the frames and slides that LW offers, including these:



See the little insert near the front of the slide on this one? It's made from titanium and provides a little bit of grip (but not a lot), and a little bit of bling:



And you can get it in different colors:



^ Not earth-shattering, but kinda cool if you want to jazz it up a bit.

We stopped and talked to the folks at Mission First Tactical, where the big news was their redesigned AR-15 magazine:



I may have one in my checked bag . . . destined for some, ah, "testing."

Moving from $12.99 to the upper end of the price scale, we stopped at the ZEV booth to see some of their pistols and the tricked-out Glocks. Here's one of the ZEV OZ9 pistols:



These guns were pretty nice . . . good triggers, good feel in the hand, etc. No surprise there, I guess.

Tactical Solutions was showing their new Pac-Lite TSS integrally suppressed upper for the Ruger .22 pistols. I'm not generally a huge fan of single-use (integral) suppressors, but I have to admit that this thing was pretty cool. It's very light and easy to handle, probably because the guts of it are titanium. It's user-serviceable, as you can screw off the endcap and empty the baffles out. Pretty slick.



And you guys know how I like the oldies . . . so I took a quick snapshot of these beauties from Traditions. These are replicas of, from top to bottom: 1853 Enfield, 1863 Zouave, 1861 Springfield, and 1842 Springfield.



Moving from oldies to cool new shit, here's Sinus211 fondling the Grand Power Stribog. This is a 9mm gun, and a pretty cool one as you've probably read in a couple of threads here on WaGuns. They have a new version in the works, but it's pending ATF approval, and as we know there's not much happening at the federal level at the moment.



We kept hearing "blah blah blah new Hi-Point blah," so we headed over there. First was the usual array of Hi-Points, such as these:



Then there it was . . . the new, the amazing, the mystical . . . safely locked inside a clear box:



I briefly considered lowering myself from the ceiling using a tactical black rope, hovering above the floor and using a laser to cut a hole in the box. However, I then remembered that Dan had already gotten a decent look at it and had more info that I did, so I'll let him spill the details. However, to me, without even touching it . . . it looks like a fucking Hi-Point. How disappointing. I'm not a Hi-Point hater in the least, they are good for what they are, but I was expecting something a whole lot prettier considering the hype.

Hogue had some nice rubber grips on display for the small pistols such as this Kimber . . .



. . . and the Springfield 911. This was particularly interesting because the guys who shot the 911 yesterday (I wasn't one of them) disliked the particularly rough texture on the grip. So, this would certainly fix that problem:



We also visited the NEMO booth. We already know from STED9R and dreadi that their rifles are extraordinary, so we skipped those and checked out the Monark pistol. Ooooh, damned sexy! I liked the trigger and the feel of the gun quite a lot; the grip texture was a bit aggressive for me, but as I noted yesterday maybe that's a me type of problem. Anyhow, this is a really nice gun:



I have a North American Arms mini-revolver in .22 Magnum and .22 LR that I really like, except for the loading process which involves putting your hand down by the muzzle and pulling out a pin, then removing the cylinder, loading it and reversing the process. So, we stopped at the NAA booth to check out their other offerings.

First was the absolutely TINY little revolver in .22 short. I can't remember the last time I saw .22 short ammo, but hey, this thing is cool anyhow!



They also have a .22 Magnum/LR model with a side-opening cylinder, which is a huge improvement over what I have. It's still slightly tricky to get open, but not too bad:



My favorite, though, was the top-break model. Pull the hammer to half-cock, pull on the latch at the top, and presto it's open and ready to load:



Next it was on to Sarsilmaz, where I discussed my experience with my SAR 9. The rep didn't seem too surprised, and he said that they will definitely run better as you use them more. He called the mix a combo of an HK VPN (the frame) and a Glock (the slide), which of course isn't too surprising.

They had a .357 Magnum there that caught our attention. While the triggers on the SAR guns are fairly meh in general, this revolver (and its brother sitting right next to it) had FANTASTIC single-action triggers. The double action wasn't bad either, but the single action was really nice, and comparable to my Smith & Wesson Performance Center gun. I was really impressed.



At the Taurus booth we saw the usual suspects for the most part, but we had a chance to check out their new TX22. This is a new .22 pistol from them; the feel of the gun was good, the trigger was quite nice . . . and the magazine holds 16 rounds! That's a heck of a lot for a .22 pistol. Hopefully they can make it run well! MSRP is $349, which means that it will sell for what, maybe $300? To me, that's a little too much for a Taurus, but who knows. Anyhow, interesting gun:



And after all that . . . these white boys all ate ourselves sick at the Korean BBQ:



Kimchi, and excessive amounts of meat followed by more meat. We done good.

*burp*

Nice murse, Mike.

Korean restaurant... You got Mike to eat Kimchi? I don't believe it. He had a burger, right?
