This episode of the GUNS Magazine Podcast, GMP #291, hosted by Brent T. Wheat and featuring Roy Huntington, explores the enduring appeal of "oldie but goodie" standard cartridges that have remained relevant since the advent of metallic cartridges. The discussion aims to convince listeners of the value in trying these "obsolete" or "old-fashioned" loadings. The episode is presented by Rock Island Armory and Armscor, highlighting their STK series of striker-fired pistols with 1911-like features.
This Q&A session covers a range of firearms topics, from the failure of the XM8 rifle due to cost-effectiveness concerns to the historical reasons for continued revolver use in WWII. Ian McCollum discusses the technical nuances of firearm nomenclature, the practical issues of 1911 hammer bite, and the limitations of flechette ammunition. He also shares personal favorites from his collection and offers insights into the future of 3D-printed firearms and the plateau of modern firearm design.
