Weatherby SA-459 TR 12 Ga.

Semi-auto tactical scattergun ready for LE patrol duty!


Introduced in 2011, the Weatherby SA-459 TR semi-automatic shotgun was designed for defensive and LE applications, plus comes at a very affordable price. Shown here with the Blackhawk Night-Ops Xiphos NT.


For many years, when the name Weather-by was mentioned in the context of firearms, the image that came to mind was a custom bolt-action rifle, its stock having a diamond-shaped inlay, and chambered for a proprietary Magnum cartridge. Weatherby and big game hunting—especially dangerous game—were almost synonymous. Today, things have changed somewhat, as you can still get the Mark V rifle with an action that has been legendary since 1958, plus there’s the newer Vanguard rifle series, and an even newer selection of semi-automatic and slide-action shotguns, all in sporting or Threat Response (TR) variations. Of course, you can still count on Weatherby quality and reliability, even if the danger comes from a two-legged instead of a four-legged source.



Mounted atop the Weatherby’s receiver is a 1913 Picatinny rail and attached to it is a fully adjustable “ghost ring” peep sight.


New for 2011 under the Threat Response line is the Weatherby SA-459 TR, a semi-automatic shotgun available in 12 or 20 gauge with a 3-inch chamber. As stated in the title, this shotgun was configured especially for defensive use. It’s even named after the California Penal Code section for burglary: 459. It was designed as an affordable yet formidable and dependable source of protection. Being a longtime practitioner of law enforcement, I can certainly see where it would have applications for the uniformed officer or plainclothes investigator. Its relatively compact overall length of 39 inches with an 18.5-inch barrel and 13.5-inch length of pull makes the SA-459 TR easier to handle within the confines of a vehicle and enhances its effectiveness in up-close, threat-response situations.



The right side of the receiver shows the location of the ejection port and the generous-sized operating handle of the Weatherby SA-459 TR.


The Weatherby SA-459 TR has many of the features that have become popular in today’s “black gun” and tactical markets. From the muzzle to the buttstock pad, it has a matte black, non-reflective finish. The short, defensive-length barrel is chrome-lined for easier maintenance and durability. The muzzle of the SA-459 TR has a screw-on muzzle brake with two rows of round ports on its circumference. Up front is a red fiber-optic sight mounted in a skeletonized steel housing with protective wings to ward off damage.



The Weatherby SA-459 TR has a removable muzzle brake and a cylinder bore choke. An optional TR Accessory Rail can be attached, too.

Colt Mustang Pocketlite .380


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。

Legacy workhorse reborn for reliable, accurate backup.


Almost a dozen years after being discontinued, the Colt Mustang Pocketlite is back with an aluminum frame and stainless steel slide.


Concealed carry pocket pistols are not new. Yes, the latest .380 and 9mm ultra-compacts are, but the idea itself is centuries old. The very first were little single-shot flintlocks dating back to the Revolutionary War. By the time of the American Civil War, 150 years ago, single, double, triple and even four-barreled pocket pistols in .22 and .32-caliber rimfire were in common use.

The first semiautomatic pistol small enough to discretely hide away in a vest or trouser pocket was invented by John Moses Browning in 1897 and manufactured by Fabrique National as the Model 1900. It was chambered in .32 ACP. In the United States, the first subcompact semi-auto was the Colt 1908 Vest Pocket Model Hammerless chambered in .25 ACP. This was to become one of the most popular small pistols of the early 20th century, remaining in production until 1946. It should come as no surprise then that Colt also manufactured the very first subcompact .380 some 40 years later. They called it the Mustang.

The Mustang was produced in a variety of models from 1986 until 1999, including the Plus II (1988-96), Stainless (1990-1998), and five versions of the Pocketlite, before being discontinued. At the end of the 20th century, the .380 Auto, which had been invented in 1908 by John M. Browning, was regarded as a substandard round for personal defense. Not an entirely correct assumption. This was further disproved in 2003 when the Kel-Tec P-3AT took the country by storm as the go-to concealed carry handgun. Fast forward to 2012 and .380 pocket pistols have become the most popular concealed carry sidearms in the country. Add to that recent advances in bullet designs and terminal velocities for .380 Auto cartridges, and resurrecting the Mustang Pocketlite becomes both a prudent and well-thought-out decision.



The Pocketlite has a very solid feel. The Mustang’s beavertail is a definite advantage on a short-recoil-operated system, where the slide travels well back over the web of the shooting hand.


After a decade-plus hiatus, Colt simply didn’t dust off the tooling and start building the same gun—they made improvements in its design and construction. The latest version uses a new aluminum alloy receiver, stainless steel slide and barrel CNC-machined from solid bar stock for precise tolerances. The new gun looks and feels different, too, with an overall superior fit and finish compared to its predecessors, particularly in slide-to-frame tolerances. This is further set off by the stark contrast between the polished stainless steel slide and the matte, bead-blasted appearance of the aluminum alloy electroless nickel frame, which has a warm, champagne-colored hue. The slide’s side panels and the hammer flats are polished bright to contrast the thumb safety, slide, magazine release, and top surface of the slide, which have a matte finish. It is a handsome, two-tone combination.





With a loaded magazine, the Mustang tips the scales at less than a pound and measures 5.5 inches in length with a 2.75-inch barrel. The minimal weight and length of the gun, combined with the short single-action trigger, proven frame and grip design, and firing pin safety block, make this an ideal small-caliber handgun for personal protection and concealed carry. The magazine holds six rounds, so capacity is seven with one in the chamber and “cocked and locked” is the standard carry method, just like a Model 1911.



Many pistols claim to fit discreetly in the pocket, but with the Colt Mustang .380 “Pocketlite” proves to be a fitting moniker.


There are several features that distinguish the Pocketlite .380. First, there is the thumb safety, which permits the slide to be manually cycled even when the safety is set. Thus, one can check for a loaded chamber, clear the gun or load the first round with the safety engaged. Additionally, the Mustang Pocketlite does not use a magazine disconnect, so it will discharge a chambered round with the magazine removed.

The Pocketlite has a very solid feel in the hand, more so than .380s with a polymer frame. While this adds a little overall weight, the heft makes the Mustang substantial in terms of grip and recoil management. The large 1911-style thumb safety is very easy to release on the draw and has a positive lock that you can feel and hear when pushed upward into the locked position, or when thumbed down to release. The latter, however, is a bit of a “tell” to anyone within earshot. While there is ample triggerguard room to move the index finger in and out without brushing against the trigger, this would not be the case if wearing a glove, and greater care is necessary. When gripping the gun, the little finger wraps easily under the magazine floorplate for support.


Galco’s Pocket Protector PRO438 grips the Mustang like a magnet and has a wide, double-stitched opening for easy reholstering.


With a consistent trigger pull, short take-up and quick reset, rounds fired at 1-second intervals struck consistently just above point of aim from 21 feet (7 yards) on a Speedwell B-27 silhouette target. Recoil from all three types of ammo fired was modest, allowing quick follow-up shots. The greatest issue found with the Mustang is reacquiring the front sight after recoil, which is fine against a dark background like a B-27 silhouette, but it was more difficult with a lighter background.



Overall, the Colt Mustang Pocketlite is very much the same gun as in 1986, just built with more modern techniques and materials. This is a very easy gun to handle and shoot. Considering how many subcompact .380 Autos are on the market today, the opportunity to get the original doesn’t come around twice. Well, in this case it does.

5.56mm SBR Uppers


私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。

Seven short-barrel rifle uppers to fit an array of mission requirements!


SBRs (Short-Barreled Rifles) offer a lot of practicality in a small package, for a price that is significantly less than the select-fire rifle or sub gun. Manufacturers such as CMMG, LaRue Tactical, LWRC International, Stag Arms, Troy Industries, Wilson Combat and Noveske Rifle Works (above represent a wide range of products and price points to meet the specific needs of the end-user.



The 12″ LaRue Stealth can serve in both a CQB and precision rifle role. It is shown here equipped with a Magpul PRS stock, Leupold MK 4 scope with LaRue mount, and SureFire’s new Mini suppressor.



The CMMG 7″ upper is among the shortest of the short-barrels, shown here with an Aimpoint Comp M4S, S&W/Troy Back-up Iron Sights and a Magpul Angled Foregrip.



The 8″ LWRC PSD is a piston rifle that is designed for CQB and protective missions. It is equipped with Magpul MOE stock and grip, an Aimpoint T-1 Micro with a LaRue mount and LWRC iron sights shown in the raised position.



The Noveske Rifeworks upper is based on a VLTOR upper receiver and features a 10.5″ polygonal-rifled barrel, Noveske rail, and the Switchblock. It is also shown with the Aimpoint T-1 and SureFire Mini suppressor.



Troy Industries offers the M7 conversion as a kit. Note the Troy vertical grip, pistol grip and sights. The Aimpoint T-1 is mounted on the shorter LaRue mount for an absolute co-index. The complete rifle can be broken down and transported in the factory-provided Hardigg case.



Stag Arms can provide their rifles and uppers in both right- and left-hand versions. The 11.5″ upper features a Samson rail, standard front sight, Arms 71L-R rear sight, and an A2 flash suppressor.



The Wilson Combat upper features a match-grade barrel and their new TRIM rail. It is a slim-line rail that allows the user to mount short Picatinny rail sections in the desired location.
