EDITOR’S SHOT // Eric Conn

The Art of Home Defense uring a recent trip to the famed Gunsite Academy in Paulden, Arizona, I had the opportunity to tour the residence of the late Col. Jeff Cooper, Gunsite founder and father of the “Modern Technique of the Pistol.”

We were hosted by Cooper’s widow, Janelle, who energetically explained the design features of the home. Cooper was a master of defensive pistolcraft, but his residence, built on the Gunsite grounds, is a key reminder for anyone who takes home defense seriously: It’s about much more than the gun. Cooper designed his “Sconce,” or fortress, to be utterly defensible and to give himself the ultimate advantage against intruders. As a student of residential architecture and its application for defense, Cooper employed known design elements from around the world to fortify his dwelling place. There’s a narrow window overlooking the front entryway that’s accessible from the inside of the kitchen; the window pops out to provide a shooting lane. Hallways were designed to be long and narrow, giving the home defender a tactical advantage against an intruder. A steep spiral staircase— difficult to charge up and down— runs down to the gun room/ arsenal and up to Cooper’s office, which also serves as a 360-degree lookout for miles around the property. Bedrooms are at the end of a long hallway on the main floor, and a steel gate—operated by lever from the master bed-

room—seals off the living quarters at night. Elaborate, for sure, but Cooper’s Sconce nonetheless illustrates the need for a comprehensive home defense plan. These pages, which focus on home defense, are ﬁlled with exceptional gear and advice to help you defend your home. As a current Gunsite instructor, retired police ofﬁcer and SWAT team member, Bob Whaley gives you expert advice on how to build the ultimate home defense plan (page 34). Richard Mann takes a comparative look at the shotgun and AR as viable options for defense (page 26), while David Maccar spotlights a defensive shotgun option from BoomStix (page 36). David Hart has the rundown on quick-access safes (page 20), a must-have when building a complete home defense plan. Read up, enjoy, and remember: Now is the perfect time to revisit your home defense plan.

FIRST LOOK // SIG SAUER MCX

SIG’s recently released MCX demonstrates the true meaning of versatility and modularity. DREW WARDEN PHOTOS BY JEFF JONES

First Look

SIG Sauer MCX IG Sauer has long been an innovator in the firearms industry, but in the past couple of years the company has pushed the limits of innovation with some of its new products. One of these groundbreaking new additions for 2015 is the MCX, which represents a major development in terms of firearm modularity.

Built around SIG’s reliable, gas-operated, short-stroke piston system, the SIG Sauer MCX comes with several features designed to make it as mission-adaptable as possible. The ﬁrst of these is an auto-regulating gas system that allows shooters to switch between supersonic and subsonic loads, or unsuppressed and suppressed operation, without manually adjustgundigest.com

ing the gas settings. There is no change in reliability when transitioning between these loads or operations. In addition, the MCX’s modular design easily configures to chamber and fire three different calibers: .300 BLK, 5.56 NATO and 7.62x39mm. The MCX’s aluminum KeyMod handguard is easily removed, and the firearm

comes with a quick-change barrel system for swapping between .300 BLK and 5.56 NATO barrels. Converting to 7.62x39mm simply requires an additional bolt face change. While the MCX is optimized for suppressed use with .300 BLK, it performs with any of these cartridges. The MCX utilizes a unique upper that is compatible with all MilSpec AR lowers, so shooters can also upgrade their standard system by pairing it with the MCX upper and a SIG MCX Stock Kit. An interesting feature of the MCX is the groundbreaking recoil assembly that does not require the use of a buffer tube, which allows for foldAUGUST 2015 GunDigest the magazine

12-Gauge Shotshell If there is one shotshell that holds all titles as most versatile, most popular, and most varied in loading, the 12-gauge is it. i Except for the .22 rimﬁre, by almost any meeasure the 12-gauge is the most popular sportin ng chambering ever offered. It is commonly av vailable and loaded with shot made of lead, steeel, tungsten/iron, tungsten/ polymer, or bismuth. Current shot charges range from about 7/8-ounce to o 2½ ounces. Common sh hot sizes range from No. 9 through 000 Buck. Slugs are typically 1 ounce or 1¼ ounce, but other weights are available. Further, it is relatively simple to have a moderately sized batch of custom loaded 12-gauge ammunition (with either an odd-sized shot or reduced velocity), produced by a major manufacturer. To gain a true perspective, just consider that, at one time in this country, there were literally thousands of distinct 12-gauge loadings offered. In 1995, 12-gauge commercial offerings from

GunDigest the magazine AUGUST 2015

only the big three shotshell o manufacturers totaled 435 unique manufacturer and component combinations. Further, other significant commercial manufacturers offer hundreds more loadings, especially in the h various non-toxic shot offerings. In fact, v commercially available, unique 12-gauge c loadings exceed the total of all currently available high-powered rifle loadings for all a cartridges by a significant margin. The 12-gauge has been and is still used for police and military applications and, as recently as the th Vietnam conflict, was the preferred gun of front-line troops for jungle combat. Arguably, no gun is more intimidating or more effective for home-defense situations. The 12-gauge is also at home, given proper loads, hunting big game up through whitetail deer at ranges to about 100 yards, with some shotguns and loads stretching useful range further. The key word here is “versatility.” If any chambering offers that characteristic, this is the one. GDTM

Study at home and quickly learn the step-by-step secrets of how to make money gunsmithing part-time, full-time, or as a retirement income. Currently there is a HUGE Demand for Gunsmiths. Millions of guns need fixing. Most of the old-time gunsmiths have retired and haven’t been replaced because previously there wasn’t a cost effective way to quickly train individuals to become gunsmiths and help them make money fast. This has created a chronic shortage and a huge opportunity for you. Gunsmithing is a recession-proof business. Even in tough times people spend money to get their guns repaired or professionally cleaned. It’s a lot cheaper than buying a new one and they still want and need them for hunting and self defense. You can even work part-time right from your home. Your one time

investment in the course could provide you with a lifetime of income and opportunity.

Briskey, Battle Hen Armory You don’t have to wait to start gunsmithing! It only takes a relatively small investment to get started. As soon as you begin watching the videos you will be able to start making repairs. Anytime you run into a problem, you just pop in the DVD on the subject or model gun that you need information on and do a quick review. Couldn't get a better recommendation: “I made the mistake of taking another cheaper gunsmithing course. I knew I made a mistake when I read in one of my lesson books that for further instructional help, go to the AGI website and get a DVD on the subject. When other schools are giving YOU that kind of acknowledgement, then you have to be the best." Gordon Fisher

HANDGUNS // REVIEW

HK returns with its new P30SK, a subcompact version of its larger P30 semi-auto. BRAD FITZPATRICK

CARRY n the late 2000s, Heckler & Koch of Germany introduced the U.S. to its P30 semiautomatic pistol, a double-action, polymer-framed pistol with a high-capacity magazine and a revolutionary polygonal barrel. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and the P30 became a hit with American shooters who appreciated its high level of engineering and fastidious attention to detail. After all, HK’s catchphrase is Keine Kompromisse!, or “No Compromise!” for those not fluent in German. Since the slick German semi-auto was so successful stateside, it seemed only natural that HK would target the burgeoning American concealed carry market. And it did, just not right away.

The HK P30SK (SubKompact) is a scaled down 9mm version of the popular P30 semi-auto. Even though the P30SK simply looks like a shrunken P30, it took HK three full years of engineering and development to translate the full sized semi-auto into a compact carry version. The mechanics remain much the same between the two guns, but the ergonomics of the P30SK 16

GunDigest the magazine AUGUST 2015

were redesigned to make this a stand-alone handgun instead of a cropped and chopped version of another model. The SK shares the same basic DNA as its alterer bruder, including a single-action/doubleaction design with large ambidextrous slide stop levers, luminescent three-dot sights and a polymer frame with a nitro-carburized steel slide with a corrosion-resistant

blued ﬁnish, but with a much more compact design that makes it a great choice for concealed carry. While striker-ﬁred guns are all the rage, including HK’s own VP9 and VP40, double-action semi-autos such as the P30SK still have a loyal following and still make perfect sense as a concealed carry gun. The double-action trigger pull is heavy—about 12 pounds—but it’s gundigest.com

smooth, and it’s easy to pull this gun from a concealed holster and fire the first shot quickly and accurately. Subsequent shots feature a much lighter 5.5-pound single-action trigger pull with modest take-up and a crisp, clean break. Most shooters don’t really appreciate how good or bad a trigger pull really is until they begin firing shots from a sandbag on the range. Bad triggers make this a real chore because they are heavy and creepy, never offering a clean snap. The team at HK did a great job on the trigger with this gun, and after a few shots off the bags I could predictably take up the slack in the trigger, press evenly and count on being surprised at the shot. The trigger pad is also very wide and comfortable. The P30SK grip geometry is excellent. It features a textured side and rear panels that are neither slick nor so aggressive they hurt the shooter’s hand. The cross-directional texturing keeps the gun firmly planted in your paw, and the P30SK, like the P30 before it, features interchangeable rear and side panels. Each new gun comes with three different backstraps and three different sets of side panels, so when HK claims this gun offers a perfect fit, it means it. Removing the rear and side inserts requires the use of a punch and a hammer, but once the pin is free you can mix and match component parts until you find the perfect combination. The P30SK is available with or without a manual safety, which is understandable. Some shooters vehemently support carrying guns with no manual safety, while the other camp is equally dedicated to manual-safety-only guns. No matter which doctrine you follow, there’s a P30SK for you. Both versions come with hammer and firing pin safeties but no magazine disconnect, so you can fire the gun without the mag

Six shots ﬁred at 7 yards using the P30SK outﬁtted with a Crimson Trace laser and Nosler’s new Defense loads. This kind of accuracy isn’t required from a concealed carry pistol, but it offers substantial peace of mind.

FEATURES // HOME DEFENSE

AR vs

Shotgun Which is the better choice for home defense? RICHARD MANN

hoosing a weapon for home defense is a serious matter, and as far as I’m concerned, a handgun should be an integral part of any home defense plan. Why? Unlike a shotgun or an AR, handguns are easy to keep with you at all times. With a long gun, you’ll have to go fetch it when the balloon goes up. A handgun, however, does not constitute a comprehensive home defense plan. Handguns are personal defense weapons, and while one might very well be needed during a home protection scenario, if a long gun is wielded with authority and precision, the handgun will remain in its holster. Basic Differences

Both the AR and the shotgun have more reach than a handgun. Both deliver a lot more power, and both are easier to shoot with precision. I’m not a shotgun kind of guy. This is not in any way a reﬂection on the usefulness of the weapon system—it’s just representative of my taste in ﬁrearms. As biased as I might be, I appreciate and understand that in some cases the shotgun might be the best answer. WHOLESALE INQUIRIES WELCOME

The shotgun has long been a popular weapon for home defense. Some would argue this is due to its suitability to the role, but I believe it’s more likely due to the shotgun’s prevalence in society. Uncle Bob likely kept a shotgun behind the kitchen door because a shotgun was the only gun Uncle Bob had. Carbines—short riﬂes—have always cost more than shotguns and

require more training for most folks to shoot them accurately. For the onegun homestead, a high-power riﬂe was not the best tool for small game or ﬂying foul. Just because old wives tell us the shotgun is the best home defense gun does not make it so. Many of those old wives were probably married to Uncle Bob. At the basic level, the shotgun allows for a slight bit of point of aim/ point of impact variance. This is because it disperses shot into a pattern that increases in size with range. The farther the target is away from the shotgun, the easier it is to hit. But everything has its limits, and the shotgun’s limits are not that far away.

Ballistic Differences Ballistically speaking, the AR-15 carbine chambered for the .223 Rem. is more powerful than the shotgun. With a nominal impact velocity of 1,250 feet per second (fps), a single 54-grain 00 buck pellet will have 187

ft.-lbs. of kinetic energy. This is very similar to a single bullet ﬁred from a high velocity .22 LR. If you can hit your attacker with every pellet in a 00 buckshot blast, it would be like shooting the bad guy a bunch of times, all at the same time, with a .22. On the other hand, a 55-grain bullet ﬁred from a .223 AR-15 carbine will strike with about 1,000 ft.-lbs.

of energy. But all that energy will be directed at a single spot. To further exaggerate the difference in terminal performance, shot pellets are non-expanding; they will only punch a caliber-size hole through the bad guy. A centerﬁre riﬂe bullet will expand and sometimes violently fragment, creating a much more ferocious and painful wound. Of course shotguns can

also ﬁre slugs, and slugs are wickedly powerful projectiles that make big holes and are hard to stop. A ¾-ounce slug from a 12 gauge will deliver about twice the energy of any .223 Rem. load and will make a very, very big hole going in and coming out. Hit your target with a slug and it will suffer. And as Sir Isaac Newton so aptly explained, so will your shoulder.

Ammunition Options Whether it’s shot or slug, shotguns throw a large payload. Nine 00 buck pellets will weigh about 480 grains, which is about nine times heavier than a .223 bullet. To push this cargo out the barrel it takes lots of energy, and that push goes both ways. In short, shotguns kick hard—about eight to 10 times harder than an AR-15. Recoil is the prime detractor to the shotgun; it’s the reason many cannot shoot it well and the reason many do not want to shoot it at all. Aside from recoil, there are other considerations. The most popular defensive load for the shotgun is 00 buck. These 00 buck pellets will penetrate very deep—about 20 inches in 10-percent ordnance gelatin. These pellets are also capable of passing through most interior walls and easily through any, if not every, wall in a mobile home. If you’re worried about hitting a family member in an adjoining room or if you live in a trailer park, double-ought buckshot is probably not the way to go. The solution can be smaller shot; at conversational distances #6, #7 and even #8 shot is unimaginably destructive to the human body. The downside to all shot shells is range. Much past 25 yards, shot becomes terminally ineffective for two reasons. First, the pattern size expands to the point that a large portion of your shot will miss the target, and the resulting wound is less concentrated. Secondly, round shot is not very ballistically efﬁcient and loses energy fast. If the engagement distance extends past 30 yards, it would be advisable to switch to a slug. Finally, it only makes good sense to choose the ammo for your AR with the same care and concern. To eliminate 28

LEFT: The Hevi-Duty loads from Hevi-Shot utilize frangible pellets that will not penetrate interior walls. Not a bad idea for a shotgun that will be used in a home defense setting. RIGHT: Corbon’s new Urban Response load for the .223 is a great home defense option. It will deliver a lethal blow, with limited penetration, while circumventing the worry of passing through interior or exterior walls.

penetration through interior and exterior walls, look to fragilely constructed varmint bullets or specialty loads like those in the Hornady TAP line. If, however, you are a hopeless bachelor living alone out past the landﬁll, you can opt for any shotgun or AR load you like. In fact, in the most rural settings, deep-penetrating loads might be a good idea; sometimes four-legged predators must be dealt with, too.

gun in a defensive situation could fall on another member of the household. ARs are generally more compact, often lighter and much easier for most to shoot with precision. If recoil is a big deal to you and your family but you prefer the shotgun, don’t overlook the 20-gauge. It has less recoil but is still very effective. It might surprise you to learn my primary home defense long gun is a Smith & Wesson

M&P15-22 loaded with a magazine full of CCI Stingers. No, a .22 is not the most lethal long arm, but everyone who lives in my home can operate it with enough precision and speed to deal with anything from a bad guy to a rabid fox. The key is not to rely on a home defense plan built around one gun. That’s why I also have a Mossberg 590A1 12-gauge in the den and a handgun basically on me at all times. GDTM

The Sensible Choice Practically speaking, there’s not a great deal of difference between an AR and a shotgun for home defense. It is unlikely you will need the capacity or extended reach of the AR. Of course as soon as that’s said, you’ll be accosted by a horde of zombies charging across the back pasture. Shotguns are not known as precision weapons, but if equipped with good combat sights and loaded with quality slugs, they can easily keep three shots inside a 3-inch circle at 50 yards. If you choose your ammunition wisely, from a pure ballistic standpoint, it’s a toss up. The simple answer is to choose the one you can shoot the best. If you ﬁnd the shotgun intimidating, it will never be a good choice. All the same, you might not be the person who has to wield it. The need to deploy the long gundigest.com

FOOD+GUNS

Gun owners set to get free survival food armers vow to keep up with the rush to supply every gun owner who calls toll free and beats the deadline to claim their free 72-hour survival food kit

In a crisis, your number one need is food. But not just any food. What everyone needs is good-for25-years survival food that you can rely on when the time comes that food is scarce. Well right now – in what is truly an unprecedented move – 72-hour Food4Patriots survival food kits are being given away to readers who are gun owners as long as they call a special toll-free hotline and beat the program deadline. “This is all happening because we’re worried that the people in Washington have an agenda that is about more than just guns and ammo,” explained Frank Bates, a spokesman for the company.

Military-grade Mylar pouches ensure these meals stay fresh for 25 years or more.

“Control the food, control the people. We already know that they’re coming after our guns ... food could be next, and none of us wants to ever rely on this or any government to keep our families fed.” Experts say that everyone should have at least a 72-hour supply of non-perishable food on hand at 32

Gun owners are ﬂocking to claim their free 72-hour survival food kit before the deadline.

all times. Unfortunately, too many people make the mistake of choosing products that were never intended to be survival food. They end up with expensive stockpiles that are too big and too bulky to move, should an emergency force them to leave their homes.

Chances are, their foods were not packaged for a 25-year or more shelf life. Most are not. And if they were unlucky enough to stock up on MREs, they’ll be depending on a product that can actually make you sick if you eat it for too long. Food4Patriots survival foods are made of the ﬁnest ingedients, grown and packaged right here in the USA. They taste great. They provide the nutrition you need. And they were developed speciﬁcally for use in emergencies – although a lot of folks sometimes like them for a quick meal or snack. Bates explained, “These are home-style meals that we package in airtight and resealable militarygrade Mylar pouches that keep them fresh and delicious until they’re needed. Your family will enjoy meals much like they’re already eating every day.” Every 72-hour kit that’s being given away contains four servings each of such familiar dishes as Liberty Bell Potato Cheddar Soup, Blue Ribbon Creamy Chicken Rice, Travelers Stew, and the always loved Granny’s Homestyle Potato Soup.

The company’s usual price for the 72-hour kit is $27.00 plus shipping. But gun owners who act quickly can pay only the $9.95 shipping and handling fee through this program. “We’re trying to ensure no gun owner gets left out, but they have to hurry because we have a limited supply of the 72-hour kits we can give away,” Bates warned. “Once word got out that gun owners could get free survival food, our phones have been ringing off the hook. We actually had to add extra agents to keep up with the incredible demand.”

There is still time to take advantage of this free food offer, but be aware the program will end no matter what at midnight, September 30, 2015.” HOW TO GET YOUR FREE 72-HOUR SURVIVAL FOOD KIT: Food4Patriots is committed to giving a free 72-hour kit to everyone who calls their toll-free hotline. Just give the agent the approval code shown below. Provide your delivery instructions and agree to pay the $9.95 shipping and handling fee. That’s all there is to it.

Approval Code: 72FREE Toll-Free Hotline: 1-800-590-8045 Offer Cut-Off Date: 09/30/2015 Please note: Food4Patriots says they will continue to give away these 72-hour kits for as long as their supplies last. Due to media exposure, their phone lines may be busy. Just keep calling and you will get through.

ome invasion. There is possibly no more terrifying incident to imagine than an attack on your home, your castle, the one place on earth where you should feel safe.

crime are remote—until it happens to you. Like any other safety issue, acceptance and preparation are the keys to avoiding or surviving a home invasion event. In 31 years of law enforcement, I’ve seen the unlawful entry of another’s home for the purpose of committing a crime therein take a variety of shapes. There’s the sneak thief who makes entry by surreptitious means to steal property while the occupants are distracted. I’ve been involved in investigations resulting from a homeowner inter-

rupting a burglary, which then led to assaults or hostage takings. The crime that conjures up the worst mental images, however, involves the direct assault on a home by an individual or group bent on victimizing the lawful occupants. If you’re the one caught in the middle of a home invasion, the reason or method the criminal takes to execute his or her plan means nothing in that moment. You just know a very bad thing is happening. Once we’ve accepted that bad things happen and that there are evil people gundigest.com

in the world willing to kill us or our family, we can start planning our response. That response begins with hardening the target. If you can make it harder for the bad guys to gain entry or significantly delay their entry, you might just persuade them to go to an easier target. Start with a solid-core door with good locks. And in reference to those locks, use them! I can’t believe there are still pilgrims out there in this day and age that don’t lock their doors. Alarms are good things, but like door locks, only if we use them. Those doors need to be surrounded by a reinforced jam. I spent 15 years assigned to my department’s full-time SWAT team. In most of the forced entries we made, the door and lock maintained their integrity—it was the door jam that gave way. I’ve observed the same characteristics in many burglary investigations. Make sure your windows are secure and limited in the distance they can be opened. The method you use to achieve that limiting factor must be easily removable in a crisis such as a fire. Don’t trap yourself. Glass should be capable of withstanding impact to a reasonable extent. We’re making it harder for the crooks to gain entry, but we’re not building Fort Knox. Lighting should fill all voids and dark holes, enough to prevent someone from exploiting the darkness. Add low, thick landscaping with a lot of thorns, and you’ve made reasonable strides to keeping someone from breaching your inner perimeter.

Next, have a means to verify who is at your door without opening it. Peepholes, cameras and speakers are all viable methods that are easy to install and use. Demand identiﬁcation and call businesses to verify the person’s name before you let them inside. False identiﬁcation is a common ruse to gain easy entry to a home. If the person on the other side of the door doesn’t like it, that’s too bad for them. In my experience, the more indignant the interloper, the more likely he’s up to something no good. Make sure you know who people are before you agree to have them perform any work in your house. That includes contractors and their employees. More than one family has become the victims

of heinous crimes committed by individuals who knew them through a prior business contact. Get to know your neighbors and the rhythm of your neighborhood. Look for things and people that appear out of place. Criminals will conduct surveillance on a target, especially if they’re planning a complex crime. By conducting a low level of counter-surveillance, you just might pick up this stage of planning and interdict the crooks’ plan before it’s launched. If you see something, say something. If all else fails, have a response plan to repel invaders. Start by knowing the law. If you have a castle doctrine, Continued on page 74

SHOTGUNS // REVIEW

With a bite that matches its bark, Da Boom from BoomStix is one mean home defender. DAVID MACCAR

Feel Da Boom here is a world of hunting shotguns, replete with high-end autoloaders and beautifully filigreed double barrels, as well as budget pumps and Realtree covered turkey guns. Then there is the tactical shotgun world, full of black-as-black-can-be pumps and semi-autos covered in rail segments topped with high-end red dots, with pistol grips and stocks that adjust and fold. In between is the gray area of the home defense shotgun.

If you ask some, the perfect shotgun for home defense is a simple, old school double barrel with two rounds of 00 buck ready to rock. It’s classic, pretty immune to user error and intimidating. But it’s a clunker to reload—if you remembered to grab a couple extra shells while patrolling the house in your underwear, after being awoken in 36

the dark night by sounds of an intruder. Some obviously choose a pump for home defense, again, because of its reliability. This leads them to the myriad options of tactical shotguns on the market, and to the possibility of being overwhelmed by breacher barrels and ghost rings. A lot of people end up with a tactical

shotgun that won’t ever see the inside of a SWAT team’s armory and has more than they need, or worse, the wrong components. Mark Dunn at BoomStix HD (home defense) has endeavored to fill that gap between hunting and tactical shotguns by creating a catalogue of mostly Mossberg 500s and Remington 870s with different configurations of barrel length, magazine tube length, stocks and accessories, all optimized for home defense. Dunn said he chose 500s and 870s because they’re rock solid. “When a bad guy is kicking in your front door, you want to make sure that when you pull the trigger, it goes boom, and those two models—you can use them and abuse them, and they’ll still fire,” he said. gundigest.com

The company has a jocular lilt to it. Mark isn’t known as the CEO but as The Big Ka-Boom-a, or TBK. His shotguns sport names like Sweet Baby Jane and Base No Disgrace. But when you get down to it, BoomStix is about nononsense, reliable, rugged shotguns that are easy to operate and tailored for defending your home and loved ones. There are six configurations to choose from, sold exclusively from the BoomStix HD website. The site also features a “Bild Ur Stix” function that lets you customize a Mossberg 500, Remington 870, Hatsan Escort MP Tactical, Hatsan Escort AimGuard or SRM Arms Model 1216 12-gauge autoloader from the base model up. Mark sent me their first and flagship creation, Da Boom, built on a Mossberg 500. When I first looked at it, the gun seemed a little unwieldy, with a 20-inch barrel and matching sevenround magazine tube (both from Mossberg) and an ATI Talon pistol grip with no stock. The first time I hefted it, my worries were dispelled. The gun feels handy. The length is right. It doesn’t feel too short, as stockless shotguns sometimes do, but it feels, and is, extremely maneuverable inside the tight spaces of an apartment doorway or hall. Mounted on the tri-rail slide forend was a vertical foregrip with a pressure switch attached to a tac-light/laser sight combo. It appears extremely tactical if you don’t know what you’re looking at, which is the problem new or novice gun buyers face when choosing a home defense shotgun. What’s more important than what’s there, perhaps, is what’s not. There is a rail running under the forend, to which the grip and taclight/laser are attached, taking up all the space. There are two small rail sections at the 9 and 3 o’clock positions on the forend’s left. That’s it—no top rail, no rail bits near the muzzle. There’s no muzzle brake with a fiercelooking jagged edge. The idea behind this gun is that laser sights work; that’s gundigest.com

what this gun has on board, so use it. “In the dark, you’re never going to ﬁnd your bead, so the laser puts you on target in seconds in a life or death emergency,” Dunn said. “I think you do need a laser for a shotgun. If that gun’s next to your bed or wherever

you decide to keep it, you don’t have to shoulder it and try to ﬁnd a sight in the dark. You just pop that light on, see that it’s a bad guy and the red dot’s on his chest, and threat down.” A simple, low-proﬁle brass bead sight on the barrel serves as a backup

to the laser. There’s no ghost sights to get snagged on fabric, no red dot that has to be activated. Simply grab the gun where you always do—by both grips—push the pressure switch and the target is illuminated and the laser ﬂips on. Despite heated Internet forum arguments, laser sights are a viable and useful sighting system for a shotgun, especially one set up for defense. If it’s zeroed to the center of the shotgun’s pattern, a laser sight provides

quick target acquisition, a guarantee of a clean line of sight (if the laser is getting to the target without interruption, it’s a sure bet the projectile will too) that will work in any low-light situation, and it is more than effective at the ranges one would encounter in a home. The biggest criticism of laser sights is they are hard to see in daylight and some well-lit environments. Those shouldn’t be primary concerns in a home or apartment, and if the oppor-

tunity does arise in an emergency to turn the lights on, that’s just ﬁne. Today’s modern lasers are bright enough to contend with lamps and ceiling lights, and there’s always the brass bead. The heat shield could be considered a bit unnecessary on any modern shotgun, as it was designed to allow soldiers to grab a hot barrel and use the weapon with a bayonet afﬁxed—not a typical tactical or defensive situation Continued on page 75

The BOOMDOCK is a simple idea that, like BoomStix’s other products, aims to fill a hole in the market. It’s a quick-access, wall-or-doormounted gunlock for a home defense long gun. “There’s little boxes out there for pistols, and they’re great products, but there’s just not a lot out there for long guns [short of a safe],” said Dunn. “The cool thing about the BoomDock is you can mount it just about anywhere, on any flat surface. It will take a shotgun, an SKS, an AR, an AK, and then you have your home defense long gun at hand in about three seconds.” What sets the BoomDock apart from similar products, Dunn said, is how configurable it is. “There are products like the ShotLock. It will fit any Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 or 590, but if you want to put a side saddle or a red dot on it, too bad, so sad,” he said. “The BoomDock reconfigures in seconds. You just crack a few nuts loose and move your supports around, and you can go from a Mossberg 500 with a side-saddle and a red dot to an A3 style AR with a 20-round magazine in the same box.” “I’ve even had my AR-10 flat top in there with 20 rounds of .308,” Dunn added. The whole thing is constructed of steel and locks up securely, including a device that prevents the trigger from being activated while secured in the BoomDock. It unlocks quickly with an included RFID card or a four-digit PIN code. BoomStix Home Defense is taking orders now for delivery in November 2015. MSRP: $289 38

GARY REEDER CUSTOM GUNS is proud to THE HELLCAT announce our newest custom revolver, our new $1795 HELLCAT. It is built on on your Ruger Bearcat the new adjustable 4 month delivery in most cases sighted 22 caliber Bearcat. We convert the gun from rimfire to centerfire and build a new 5 shot cylinder in 32 H&R. We also install a new barrel in the length the customer wants and add the new interchangeable blade front sight. The gun gets the Gunfighter Grip conversion with new grips and complete deluxe refinish with the normal package engraving. It has all the normal features like a full action job, Deep Dish Crown and Maxi Throat. The gun is super slick and comes sighted in and ready to go. We also build the HELLCAT on the standard fixed sight Bearcat as long as it is the steel framed Bearcat. For a trail gun it would be hard to beat our new HELLCAT. As usual one third down and we get started on your new HELLCAT.

WINCHESTER M70-308 Cal. 100% Sniper Rifle with 16” bbl. Built to prove accuracy up to 1000 yards, same as longer sniper rifles with 24”+ barrels. Barrel is 1” in diameter with a 9/16” diameter liner. Stock is made of composit material with a configuration of adjustments to assure extreme accuracy. A Leupold Mark/4 M/3-10X/136033D was used in testing this rifle. Made in this short version for the individual crawling through brush on his stomach, with it attached to his ankle in a canvas case. The idea was, as shorter version – easier to handle in close-quarter situations. Only two were built. One was tested at the factory in New Haven, CT., and the other at Aberdeen Proving in MD. The overall length is 36” and the weight is 14-1/4lbs. with accessories. A VERY UNIQUE SNIPER RIFLE FOR THE SERIOUS/ ADVANCED MILITARY COLLECTOR. $3,500. + S. & H.

in place. There’s also a special Law Enforcement Modification (LEM) model that comes with a bobbed hammer and a double-action-only (DAO) trigger with a crisp 5.4-pound pull. If you haven’t shot the HK P30 line of pistols, you will have to familiarize yourself with the location of some of the controls. The extended ambidextrous slide release is mounted along the top of the frame just below the chamber. Notably absent is the standard magazine release button that is traditionally situated just behind the trigger guard. Like other German guns, including the first-generation Walther PPQ, the HK P30 line has a paddle-style magazine release lever located on either side of the trigger guard. It’s not a traditional American styling, but it serves a very important function— when the gun is holstered, it’s impossible for an assailant to drop the magazine from your firearm. And once you become familiar and comfortable with the system, you’re probably going to like it. When the mag runs dry, simply press down on the paddle with your trigger finger, drop the magazine and reload. The system is fast and intuitive. The P30SK has a decocker, but just like the magazine regundigest.com

The P30SK measures just 6.42 inches long, making it an ideal concealed carry or backup weapon. With no sharp corners to snag or hangup, it’s an easy gun to draw and shoot quickly. The P30SK boasts a 10-round magazine capacity, which is a lot of ammunition for a compact 9mm. Still, the P30SK remains comfortable to shoot, with a width of just 1.37 inches. The P30SK has paddle-style magazine release bars on either side of the trigger guard. This system prevents assailants from dropping your magazine while the gun is holstered.

lease, it isn’t in the traditional position. Instead, it is located just to the left of the hammer. This too serves a very important function—when you are clearing the gun in the middle of a gunﬁght, you won’t accidentally hit the decocker since it’s tucked out of the way. Simply press the button and the hammer drops, and, as with the magazine release lever, it becomes second nature once you do it a few times. Some pistols look and feel cheap. Others feel like they are well-built and robust, and there are a handful of pistols that feel like they are so solidly constructed you could wither away on the range trying to get them to fail. The P30SK is that third kind of pistol. It is made of quality parts that are well machined and so tightly ﬁtted that it feels like a custom gun. The interior 72

parts are polished free from machine marks. The slide is tight and smooth, and the slide/frame ﬁt is precise. On the range, the P30SK performed very well. This is likely due in part to the barrel’s polygonal riﬂing, which substitutes the standard lands and grooves for a bore that has been octagonally reamed for a better gas seal. The P30SK comes with front and rear adjustable three-dot luminescent sights that are dovetailed into the slide, ideal for close-range work. For the 15-yard accuracy test, I mounted a Crimson Trace Rail Master green laser on the P30SK accessory rail. The green laser offers a more precise aiming point, giving a clear picture of a handgun’s overall accuracy potential without variations due to sight design. With the laser in place, the P30SK

was extremely accurate. At 15 yards, groups hovered just above an inch. Normally, during these range tests you have one brand of ammo that is a clear favorite, but after testing three different loads—Hornady’s 100-grain Critical Defense Lite, SIG Sauer’s 124-grain Performance Elite and Nosler’s new 124-grain Defense—I realized I would have to measure the groups to have an idea which ammo was the most accurate in the P30SK. As it turned out, the SIG won the day, but both the Nosler and Hornady ammunition were nipping right at its heels. The oversized extractor worked perfectly, and the only ammunition with which the P30SK took issue was the light Hornady load, which resulted in a couple stovepipe jams. This is likely due to the fact that the Hornady ammo gundigest.com

WHY ADD A LASER? After unpacking the P30SK from its box, my next step was to mount a Crimson Trace Rail Master green laser on the short picatinny rail. Lasers have grown in popularity with law enforcement and competitive shooters as well as CCW permit holders and backyard shooters, and for good reason. Lasers provide an excellent sighting system, especially in low-light conditions (and most violent attacks don’t happen at midday in a well-lit area). I didn’t realize how effective lasers were in dark conditions until I shot targets in near total darkness at the Crimson Trace facility in Wilsonville, Oregon, and one such display of just how hard it can be to hit targets in low light with traditional sights is sufﬁcient to help understand why more and more law enforcement and military units are outﬁtting their side arms with lasers. In addition, lasers help diagnose mistakes with your shooting form. If you’re choking the trigger and pulling down and left, you’ll be able to visualize this with the laser on the target. Likewise, lasers help identify your most stable shooting position and remind shooters to concentrate on their target. Over the years laser sighting systems have gained a loyal following, and I count myself among those ranks. For more information on Crimson Trace, visit its website at Crimsontrace.com.

is loaded to produce less recoil, and the P30SK hadn’t been properly broken in. I set the Hornady ammo aside, test-ﬁred the heavier stuff, and then went back to the Hornady ammo. After that, there was only one stovepipe, which seems to be a sign that once the HK is broken in it will work with lighter loads. The accuracy results from the test are below, showing the outcomes of the test with all three ammo types. As you can see, the accuracy was very good, especially for a gun with a 3.27inch barrel. Chances are you’ll never need to shoot a 1-inch group at 15 yards with your P30SK, but if the need arises, this gun will do it. The P30SK performs as well on the line as it does on the bench. It is balanced well and comfortable to shoot, and with an overall length of just 6.42 inches and a height of 4.57 inches, it is indeed compact. It’s a bit wider than

LOAD

many competing carry 9mms at 1.37 inches, but that third of an inch of width helps keep this gun planted during shooting, and it’s still an easy gun to conceal. The abbreviated grip leaves the average shooter’s last ﬁnger without a home, but the P30SK is still manageable. Semi-autos have gotten easier to disassemble for routine maintenance and cleaning, and HK is not the type of company to allow itself to be outengineered. As a result, takedown of the P30SK is extremely simple. You drop the magazine and clear the gun, pull the slide back far enough that the rectangular cutout in the metal slide is aligned with a matching piece on the slide stop, press a pin from the opposite side until the rectangular metal piece slips through the gap in the slide and then turn the gun upside down and pull the slide forward. With the

slide removed, the guide spring and barrel simply fall into your hand. It’s about as simple a takedown regiment as you’ll ﬁnd on a compact semi-auto, and once you’ve practiced, it will take you far less time to actually break down your gun than it has taken me to explain the process. There goes your last excuse for having a dirty pistol. HK resisted the urge to cut down their P30 pistol to grab a share of the compact pistol market because that meant cutting corners. Instead, the company has taken the time to produce a well-engineered, well-designed carry gun that is built to last. Will the newer VP9 and VP40 spawn similar compact carry variations? I’d venture to say it’s likely, but it’s not absolutely necessary, because the P30SK is a ﬁne carry gun that lives up to the HK name and commitment: never compromise. GDTM

“Build The Ultimate Home Defense Plan” continued from page 35

While a lot of folks think a home defense plan is all about gun selection, the starting point should be establishing a secure home that isn’t an easy target for criminals. Once you’ve secured your place of residence, selecting the right ﬁrearm is a much less complicated decision. Photos by Alex Landeen

read it. Discuss your legal rights and obligations with an attorney versed in self defense law and build your plan from there. Get to know your house inside and out, in the day and night. Establish “hard points” and know where “strong points” are located. Hard points are pre-established locations capable of being defended for an extended time. Strong points are ﬁeld-expedient locations you can defend for short periods. Know the circumstances under which you’ll hold fast in your hard point/safe room and when you’ll have to push out to a second hard point or strong point. For example, my bedroom is my hard point, but if the grandkids are staying with us, we’ll have to push out to a strong point to secure the guest bedroom. 74

Make sure you have a plan and the capability to deal with injuries. When bullets fly around, meat gets cut. That meat might belong to you or someone you care about. You have to keep blood going round and round and air going in and out. The police are also coming, so don’t forget to include a plan to link up with them and de-conflict the situation. Whew, not too much to consider, eh? Guns and gear are next on the list. Most people start here, which is exactly jack backwards. You should arm yourself with the weapon system with which you are most proficient. There, done. Have a means of carrying all your gear with you that you can grab in a hurry. For me, it’s a purpose-built shoulder bag, which rides next to

my side of the bed. In the bag goes my pistol, extra magazine, handheld light, medical supplies and cell phone. That’s everything I need to manage the scene for the time it takes to either disable the attackers or for police to arrive. Last comes the “T” word. That would be training. You don’t know what you don’t know. The latest YouTube sensei generally sucks, but classes such as those offered at Gunsite Academy (Gunsite.com), Combat Shooting and Tactics (CombatShootingAndTactics.com) and Academi (Academi.com) are excellent. I have personal experience with their training and feel conﬁdent endorsing them. So, that’s the big picture of home invasion. Start slow, build up and be ready. GDTM gundigest.com

“Da Boom” continued from page 38

Da Boom is built on a Mossberg 500 platform, but it also comes with the option to utilize the Remington 870. Either way, reliability and versatility are key.

one encounters. But in this case it does help with gripping the short gun and maneuvering it without grabbing the slide. The shell carrier from TK carries six 12-gauge rounds securely and in optimum position for loading on the left side of the receiver. The weight of the barrel and mag tube do quite a bit to offset the felt recoil of even 12-gauge 00 buckshot shells, which patterned as expected with an open choke at 10 yards and closer. Winchester 12-gauge PDX Defender ammo also performed well, with the slug and pellets going exactly where they were supposed to go. The vertical foregrip and Scorpion Recoil Pad on the pistol grip help manage the kick that the weight of the shotgun doesn’t absorb, which is certainly manageable. “This was kind of our original shotgun,” Dunn said. He also added that maneuverability was a big consideration in designing Da Boom. “If you have a shotgun with a stock, I understand there’s more stability when you shoulder a gun, but it’s harder to maneuver. With Da Boom you can get around tight corners, pile into rooms and it’s a lot easier with that conﬁguration.” “To help offset the lack of a stock we put a nice, chunky vertical foregrip on there. That FAB Defense grip adds a lot of stability, and you’re sharing the recoil with two arms instead of one,” he said. Da Boom certainly isn’t locked into its conﬁguration. The receiver is tapped for a top rail if you prefer a red dot of some kind. The light and laser can be easily removed or moved, and the same is true of the vertical foregrip. The gundigest.com

mount for the ATI pistol grip includes an attachment point for a single-point sling that can also be used in conjunction with the sling swivel mount on the magazine tube cap for a two- or three-point sling, if one so chooses. Da Boom is a solid home defense shotgun for those who can manage a stockless 12-gauge with quality components, no unnecessary accessories and deﬁnitely a mean look. GDTM

GUN INDUSTRY // NEWS & VALUES

Market Trends

New, used, collectible, plus ammunition and accessories— if it’s selling and it’s hot, we’ll tell you about it here. By BRIAN MCCOMBIE

Scott Lutz—Cordier Auctions, Harrisburg, Penn., CordierAuction.com

Glock 43 and M&P-9 Carbon Handguns Setting the Pace Don Hanna—Portland Gun Store, Clackamas, Oreg., PortlandGunStore.com Concealed carry handguns are big sellers right now at the Portland Gun Store, according to owner Don Hanna, including the new 9mm Glock 43. Priced at $475, Hanna said he can’t keep the nifty little Glocks on the gun counter because they sell so fast. “The carbon fiber, striker-fired handguns are picking up speed, too,” he added. “The Smith & Wesson M&P-9 Carbon Fiber is one that is moving very well for us, at $579.” There’s a good local market for 1911-style semi-automatic pistols, too. “We sell about an equal number of Colts, Remingtons and Ruger 1911’s. Name recognition and price point are still number one factor, especially with our first-time buyers.” That price point? “Definitely needs to be under $800.” While some stores are still having

problems getting ammunition, Portland Gun Store is fully stocked. “In fact, we include a free box with every new handgun we sell. The customers need to get out there and do some shooting. It’s essential for the survival of our industry.” Hanna’s seeing some renewed interest in AR-platform rifles, especially from first-time buyers. With a recommendation from a friend or fellow shooter, these first-timers are often very willing to spend well above the $700 for an entrylevel AR. There’s also a noticeable uptick in people who are building their own AR’s. “A lot of these customers tell me they want to build a custom rifle with all the good parts. Replacement triggers and quality pistol grips are the best sellers right now.”

At its May 28 auction, Cordier Auctions saw spirited bidding from both persons in actual attendance and a large number of collectors bidding via the Internet on over 250 lots of antique, collectible and modern firearms. Early lots of antique handguns included a rare James Reid Pocket Model 2 Revolver in excellent condition, which sold for $1,000 on a pre-auction estimate of $600 to $800, according to Scott Lutz, Cordier’s Director of Firearms and Militaria Auctions. A Savage Revolving Arms Co. Navy Model revolver went to an Internet customer for $900 after spirited bidding Collectible handguns featured a Standard Conehammer Broomhandle Mauser in 7.63mm, which sold for $1,400. Colts remained strong, with a 1911 Pistol in .45 ACP selling for $1,500 to an Internet bidder after heavy competition. Among the modern handguns, a Smith & Wesson Model 63-4 Revolver with an unusual 5-inch barrel brought $600, while a FN Herstal Model Five-Seven-IOM pistol in 5.7x28mm caliber hammered down at $900, nearly twice the amount of Cordier’s pre-auction estimate. In antique long guns, an early 19th century Hese-Hanau Fry-Core-type rifle sold for $1,200. This rare Europeanmade, single-shot muzzle-loading percussion rifle sold to an online buyer in Europe after heavy bidding both online and in the room. A U.S. Springfield Model 1861 musket with “G. AICHELE/ CO. B 214 REG” carved in the stock sold to a bidder in the room for $1,900. Among the collectible long guns were two Springfield Armory M-1 Garands. The first was a .30-06 in excellent condition, which sold for $1,700, on an estimate of $800-$1,000. The second, a Tanker in .30-06, went at $1,400. Meanwhile, a Winchester Model 42 shotgun in .410 sold for $900.

AUGUST 2015 GunDigest the magazine

Gun Writer Elmer Keith Still Calling the Shots —At Auction! Francis Lombardi—James D. Julia, Inc. Fairfield, Maine, JamesDJulia.com Arguably the most important gun writer of the last century, Elmer Keith, sometimes referred to as “the Father of the Magnum,” is still influencing the gun world. This time, the occasion was a firearms auction held by James D. Julia, Inc., where Keith’s collection of firearms recently went up for auction. And the prices paid bear strong testament to Keith’s continued importance. According to Francis Lombardi, Department Head of Julia’s Firearms Division, one of the first guns up was the most famous of all of Elmer Keith’s handguns, a customized Colt SA Army revolver referred to as “The Last Word” in handguns. Bearing Serial No. 5, beautifully engraved and custom designed by Keith and Harold Croft, the Colt came to the auction block with a presale estimate of $30,000 to $50,000. Yet, after a furious bidding battle, it went out at $80,500! A pair of Smith & Wesson hand ejector First Model (triple-lock target revolvers with holster rig) owned by Keith was conservatively estimated at $6,000 to

$10,000, but they blew through the high estimate to bring nearly $40,000. Keith was a renowned big-game hunter, and his collection included many double rifles that accompanied him on various hunting safaris. The most significant or historic gun was unquestionably the W.J. Jeffrey Grade 2 best box lock double rifle that at one time had been owned and used by hunting legend Jim Corbett. During his lifetime, Corbett killed 44 man-eaters, two of which accounted for killing and devouring over 800 people. His trusty double rifle was estimated at this sale at $75,000 to $150,000. But the rifle flew well beyond the high mark to approximately $265,000. Firearms owned by the late Norm Flayderman, an expert in antique and collectible firearms and their values, were also offered. Items included a scarce Civil War brass frame revolver with holster presented to 1st Sgt. Wm. Ahrberg/Co. E 16th K.V.C. The gun carried a modest estimate of $2,000 to $4,000, but it went out at over four times the high estimate for $17,825.

High School Shooting Programs Generating Strong Market for Youth Shotguns Matt Mullner—Joe’s Sporting Goods, St. Paul, Minn., JoesSportingGoods.com In Minnesota, surging interest in high school shooting sports has led to a surprising number of youth shotguns being sold at Joe’s Sporting Goods. Most in demand: shotguns for competitive trap shooting. “What surprises me the most is the amount parents are willing to spend for their child’s firearm,” said Matt Mullner, gun shop manager. “I guess like any other high school sport, like football or hockey, equipment is expensive. But I’ve seen parents spend up to $2,000 for their son or daughter’s trap gun. That’s not the norm, but the average is still right around $1,200!” For handguns, the top seller here has been the Smith & Wesson Shield at $449.99. “Sales of that pistol easily triple any other firearms we carry,” Mullner noted. The store has also seen many sales of rimfire rifles. Ruger 10/22s are among the most popular rimfires here, at $250. “CZ has become a very hot line for us the past few years, too,” Mullner added. “No specific model sticks out, but the CZ rimfire rifles range from $399 to $569.” Unlike a lot of establishments, Joe’s has been able to get pretty good supplies of .22 LR ammunition. What it can’t get? .22 WMR ammo. It’s also having trouble stocking Benelli’s new 828 O/U, the Italian gun maker’s first-ever over-and-under shotgun. Distributors tell Mullner that high demand for the shotgun has created a shipping bottleneck. GDTM
