I have been remiss in keeping our readers up to date on the rifle range construction. For that I apologize. It has been a very busy 2 months. Multiple vendors each trying to get their assigned tasks done, while working with other customers, weather and logistics. I will try to post some pics and video I have taken during the …
Podcast Rant – 3D Guns are Bullshit
Rant: Do I support 3-D printing technology? Yes. Do I support the right of individuals to create 3-D printed guns? Yes. Do I think 3-D printed guns are viable? No. I think they are bullshit. Marky John1911.com ”Shooting Guns & Having Fun”
Silencerco Maxim 9
I am not sure what to think about these guns. I like the concept. I like the caliber. I like that it’s shorter than most pistols with a can screwed on. I just can’t decide if the juice is worth the squeeze. It’s still too large to be practical. And I bet holsters are a nightmare. But here’s the other …
What Does The Mysterious X-37 Do?
Truthfully, no one still knows. So here we have the X-37, which looks like a mini-shuttle a rich person might for her kids to play in.

SHS-27: Excell Shotgun (Benelli clone)
So what we have here is very interesting shotgun. Especially for the price. In essence it is a clone of a very expensive Benelli semi automatic, tactical shotgun. “So what?”, you ask.

SHS-26: Second Chance Glock 22
So…how to even begin. It’s a Glock. Model 22. 40 caliber. Beyond that I’ll have to leave it up to the next owner. Enjoy the video. I took some liberties. No harm, no foul.

USS America CV-66 SINKEX
A photograph has been making the rounds for a few days. It’s an image of the EX-USS America during it’s SINKEX event back in 2005. Initially the photo was being reported as a “new” unclassified image from the Navy’s very secret report. However after some research, it appears the photo has been in the public domain for some years. I …
The Bernardelli is Roached
Ok. I’ve been holding these pics back for a few days. I wasn’t sure how best to present them. After some thought, I just figured a gonzo album of the madness is best. Why beat around the bush? This Bernardelli P.One Pistol is in rough, rough shape. What we know. It was sold to Israel as a police handgun. Eventually …
GSG MP40
I have been eyeing these from afar for a while and I finally ran across one in a retail establishment. My main interest is not in using it as a pistol, but instead SBR’ing it. But I had some reservations. Street price? Quality? Ease of SBR’ing. I don’t have any definitive answers yet. But I will say that my initial …
