This guide details modifications for the Walther PDP pistol, focusing on improving performance and ergonomics. Key upgrades include replacing the recoil spring with a ZR Tactical 15lb captive guide rod for better slide cycling, applying silicone carbide grips for enhanced traction, and utilizing Aris Manufacturing optic plates for a lower optic height. The presenter also discusses preferred magazine base pads from Henning Group and suitable red dot optics like the Holosun 507 Comp and Vortex Defender-XL, emphasizing the importance of reliable mounting solutions.

This guide details how to significantly improve the reliability of a Stoeger M3000 shotgun, particularly for those experiencing cycling issues with light loads or after adding accessories. Key upgrades include installing a reduced rate recoil spring and a Benelli extractor/spring assembly. Proper lubrication of the magazine tube is also emphasized. These modifications aim to resolve Failure to Eject (FTE) and Failure to Extract (FTL) issues, enabling the shotgun to cycle a wider range of ammunition, even when heavily accessorized.

This review of the Palmetto State Armory Spiker AK variant highlights its close resemblance to the Chinese Type 56, particularly its spiker bayonet. While generally well-made with a good finish and trigger, minor fitment issues with the bayonet and the absence of a cleaning rod are noted. Initial reliability concerns with high-capacity magazines were addressed by swapping to an extra-power recoil spring, significantly improving performance.

This guide details the modification process for converting an FNX-45 pistol to fire the .460 Rowland cartridge, as demonstrated by an expert firearms instructor. Key steps involve reaming the barrel, upgrading recoil and magazine springs, and installing a compensator to handle the significantly increased pressure and slide velocity. The instructor emphasizes that polymer frames are better suited for this high-pressure round due to their flex.

This guide details the installation of a .460 Rowland conversion kit for the Glock 21, transforming it into a powerful 'hand cannon.' The process involves replacing the barrel and recoil spring, and adding a muzzle brake. The video emphasizes the significant increase in ballistic performance and recoil, recommending it for experienced shooters.

This video provides a practical field test of the Glock 20 SF handgun chambered in 10mm Auto, focusing on the performance of Buffalo Bore Heavy 10mm ammunition.
