Shotgun Sights
With the advent of our SM-1 package, you have the option of adding a silver or bronze bead or a tritium night sight. We have put on both types of sights for our customers and see advantages to either. The standard sight for the SM-1 is the bead. For most applications, this will suffice. When the barrel is cut to 18.5″ you have opened it up a lot, and it follows that you will loose some precision. This is why we don’t even offer a rifle sight for the SM-1. For some of you, the tritium night sight will have definite...

Great website that has good information. As common sense dictates, you should still check with the individual states before going with firearms, but these maps are very helpful. Let’s work hard to get the TN law banning concealed carry in restraunts that serve alcohol repealled. If you’re at Applebee’s and don’t drink, what’s the problem?

Chuck Taylor (not the Converse guy) has an interesting article on his website about the combat shotgun. It describes some testing that his school did with pumps and autoloaders. They were trying to answer the question of whether or not there is a clear winner of the best combat shotgun designation from a test and evaluation standpoint. They tested, Remington, Mossberg, Benelli, and Browning by shooting them with multiple types of shot at varing distances. What they discovered might surprise you. Evaluators did not choose the well known...

A few months ago, we were asked to turn an ordinary Remington 1100 into a versatile home defense shotgun. We liked it so much, and the response was so great we have decided to combine the best features available for the Remington family of shotguns into a package we call the SM-1. The great part is that we use your existing Remington 870, 1100, or 1187. This means that you can have a great home defense shotgun for under $500 with every accessory you need. How do we save you so much? We don’t you the gun. So many of our customers...

With the weather being hot, it seems appropriate to mention a product that has been around for a while, but it might be new to some shooters because they have never thought that it could be used in a shooting application. Most of us at MCC are runners, and with the season getting ready to start in Nashville this fall we have already started training. A friend of ours named Tim put us onto the Camelback hydration system. We have tested them on a few runs and they work great. They come in all shapes and sizes for anything you might need, but...

I was test firing the other day, and it reminded me how important magazines are for your semi-automatic weapons. By the way, a clip is sometimes referred to as a magazine, but only by the uniformed. Don’t make the same mistake that I did and call it a clip to a professional if you want to be taken seriously. Anyway, back to the point of test firing. In any semi-auto, the magazine will often be the weak link to most of the malfunctions that you are having. This was true with the a Colt Defender that I was testing. The stock colt...
