Sub-MOA accurate Designated Marksman M14s for 800-yard engagements!
The ideal platform for a trained Designated Marksman, the EBR system includes a Leupold optic, six magazines and field maintenance gear.
Imagine a rifle and its attendant training so good that Taliban forces have been forced to modify their tactics. The Designated Marksman program was officially implemented in 2003 by the U.S. Army and has been in high demand ever since. A Designated Marksman is trained to deliver precise, long-range rifle fire out to around 600 yards. Unlike a sniper, DMs maneuver with their squad as normal and can be tasked with long-range shooting and overwatch as needed. Much like the Combat-Lifesaver program, this additional training extends the ability within a squad.
The operating rod guide block makes the M14 barreled action into a monolithic unit.
As implemented, the Designated Marksman program and qualification calls for as-issue rifles, either an M16A2 with iron sights or M16A4 with optics. Effective long-range shooting is more about marksmanship and know-how than equipment. Issued M16s shooting 5.56mm ball are more than capable of getting consistent hits a half-kilometer away, but enhanced gear helps. Purpose-built M16-based Designated Marksman Rifles made by the Army Marksmanship Unit have been fielded with good results and help make getting those hits easier.
To date, over 6,200 EBRs have been fielded, more than the M110, AMU-built DMR and M24 sniper rifles combined.
A potential problem, especially at extended distances, is the lack of “oomph” the 5.56mm cartridge offers. DMs are charged with engaging enemy targets out to 500 meters and standard-issue rifle ammunition might not cut it. Increasing to 7.62mm potentially affords greater range. It certainly hits harder. While training some of the first units deploying to Iraq in 2004 at Fort Hood, we had many soldiers assigned as Designated Marksmen being outfitted with M14s. While this took care of the power issue, these were simply rack-grade M14 rifles with a mix of aftermarket bolt-on bases and optics.
The Sage stock includes a barrel whip control screw that minimizes barrel vibration and improves accuracy.

Beretta PX4 Compact 9mm

Two guns in one — service or concealed carry — with 16-shot firepower!
My thought is that the perfect carry gun will still fill my hand, but is no larger than necessary—“big enough, yet small enough” to be the perfect combative carry gun—regardless of whether it is for personal security or law enforcement. My former agency has always striven to issue a pistol that is medium in size so that the gun can be carried by uniform personnel, plainclothes officers and while off-duty. I happen to agree with this trend and I have seen it in practice across the country by agencies both large and small.
While attending the 2010 NRA Show, I happened into the Beretta booth and moved into a corner where the Px4 pistol line was on display. One model caught my eye because it was a mid-size that I had not seen before and interestingly, no one was paying any attention to it. I picked it up and immediately liked the feel of the gun. It filled my hand without excess material hanging from under my grip, it was not overly tall in the hand and it was compact enough to easily carry concealed, but would also look right at home in a police duty holster. As soon as I got home, I made contact with the folks at Beretta and was told the Px4 Compact would be introduced later that year.
The pistol employs a rotary barrel system. Note the helical groove around the oversized locking block portion of the barrel.
The Beretta Px4 Compact is perfect for a dual use police service pistol. With an overall length of 6.8 inches and height of 5 inches, the Px4 Compact is sleek, symmetrical and efficient—and with a weight of 27 ounces, it’s not heavy so it can be carried on a duty or suit belt with ease.
