Have you ever wanted a submachine gun when walking your dog? Magpul has a concept designed Flashlight Submachine gun, the Magpul FMG-9. “It’s Transformerish” according to the Video on BoingBoing.net.
I for one don’t walk my dog and live in a safe neighborhood if I choose to do so… But have never run across the need to carry a sub-machine gun. The video was from the 2008 Shot Show.
Magpul has a 20 round magazine for DPMS AR10’s. Pmag’s have long been considered the best polymer magazines for .223 AR15 rifles. Magpul is best known for rebuild kits for USGI magazines and AR15 accessories. Both DPMS and Brownells.com stock the new .308 magazines.
The 308 PMAG will not fit Armalites but will fit a variety of other’s like the Remington R-25, LaRue Tactical OSR, Lewis Machine and Tool (LMT) MRP 7.62 and others. With every Magpul PMAG a molded polymer dust cover is included to use during long-term storage.
Springfield Armory has debuted the latest addition in the XD(m) Series of pistols, the 3.8″ XDm Short Barrel for easy concealment.
The new 3.8 XDm is currently only fitted in 9mm. It packs a 19 rounds in the magazine and another one in the chamber. The 3.8 concealable 9mm raises the bar in personal protection and concealed carry. The image on the left shows a fiber optic sight that will soon be available in the XDM line.
Immediately noticeable on the 3.8″ is the slide serration. Instead of being straight lines they are more curved giving a new functional image to the traditional straight serrations on previous XD(m) models. It appears besides cosmetic changes in the slide, a new upgraded grip, and 3.8″ barrel the new XDM hasn’t changed much from the 9mm XD(m) introduction. There is a 4.5 oz weight difference over the full size where it’s closest competitor (Glock 19) only drops 1.5 oz from it’s full size counter part.
I haven’t yet seen one in person but will be interested to know how the next line of XDm Polymer Pistol’s hold up to its predecessors the XD(m) 40 S&W and XD(m) 9mm.
