Micro-compact striker-fired 9mm — the ultimate undercover pocket pistol!



Weighing just 17 ounces and chambered for the 9mm cartridge, Kimber’s Solo is destined to become a favorite of those that trust their lives to their carry guns. Shown are the Solo Carry Stainless and Solo Carry.


There was no elaborate fanfare or warning that something really sensational was about to happen in the gun industry earlier this year. Kimber—a company best known for their extensive line of 1911s—introduced a micro-compact, striker-fired 9mm autoloader that seems perfect for off-duty, undercover or back-up use. Before it was even released, I only heard rumors and had to investigate.

What I read intrigued me. Clearly Kimber had not merely followed the template that other manufacturers use, but rather started with a fresh page and designed a gun that, from top to bottom, is built for deep concealment. Recently, I was given a chance to actually handle one of the brand new Kimber Solo pistols. To say that I was impressed is an understatement. Small, sleek and lightweight, Kimber’s 9mm micro-compact also features great sights, a smooth trigger and ambidextrous manual safeties and magazine releases. In my eyes, it’s everything that a law enforcement back-up handgun should be.



The Kimber Solo’s stainless steel barrel measures 2.7” long and mates directly to the slide of the pistol.


Many will look at the Solo Carry and mistakenly assume that it possesses a double-action-only trigger. I know that I did. But the striker is loaded to nearly 90 percent, and the balance of movement cannot be felt as the trigger is pulled. Therefore, the best description for this action would be “single-action/striker-fired.” The Kimber system also utilizes a firing pin safety that prevents the gun from being fired unless the trigger is fully depressed.



Kimber lightly bevels the mag well of the Solo Carry for fast and sure mag reloads. Note the ambi mag release.

SBR variant Rapid Engagement Precision Rifle that delivers at extended ranges!



The 12-inch-barreled REPR is much more than a SBR chambered in 7.62mm. LWRCI’s REPR can be considered for the full gamut of operations — serving as an entry weapon, patrol rifle, or precision tactical option in the LE realm. Shown here with a 4×32 BROWE Combat Optic mounted.


A truly versatile rifle is one that continues to transform itself, satisfying multiple roles with equal aplomb. The LWRCI REPR chambered in 7.62×51mm is such a rifle. Its versatility combined with relentless gas-piston reliability is making the LWRCI REPR a favorite among our troops and law enforcement personnel.

The LWRCI Rapid Engagement Precision Rifle (REPR) is offered with 12- and 16-inch barreled models, as well as an 18-inch Designated Marksman model and 20-inch Sniper model. For civilians or even law enforcement, the 12-inch barrel is not “standard” and requires a BATFE tax stamp. The REPR features a “flattop” receiver and comes with either a Flat Dark Earth or Olive Drab Green Cerakote finish, which offers unparalleled abrasion and corrosion resistance. This self-lubricating characteristic of Cerakote means that the rifle can be run with less lubrication—especially useful when operating in the desert or other dusty environments.



Many features set the LWRCI REPR apart from competitors, including its short-stroke gas piston operating system and proprietary nickel coating that nearly eliminates corrosion.


The REPR rifle utilizes LWRCI’s patented self-regulating, short-stroke gas-piston operating system, ensuring reliability in the harshest theaters of operation. LWRCI literature points to several industry leading technological innovations incorporated in the REPR. LWRCI has sought to engineer a complete solution to the deficits found in the direct impingement AR family of rifles and carbines, and was an early innovator in the AR gas-piston surge. The principal improvement comes from eliminating the venting of hot, carbon-laden gases into the receiver and bolt carrier group. This reduces the cleaning requirements associated with direct gas-impingement AR. It also means the bolt carrier group and associated springs are not subjected to the searing heat of the tapped gasses; this being one of the major causes of small parts failure. The REPR’s four-position gas setting further ensures a user can adjust to changing environmental conditions — not to mention better employ a suppressor if a mission dictates this.



The LWRCI REPR comes standard with flip-up back-up iron sights (BUIS) that co-witness with most optics. Range evaluations show nothing sacrificed when “going to irons” with the REPR at moderate distances.

Perhaps you thought there wasn’t anything left for the aftermarket to address on the Glock platform. Larry Vickers is proving you wrong by putting out a new magazine base plate. The new mag plate is wider, offering the ability for the shooter to more easily strip a stuck mag from the magwell. It’s also got a matrix of dots that can be used to number/identify a mag. No word on price or availability, yet.

So, why draw Costa? Why not. JK’s earlier work “Spirit of a Warrior” features a badass with a Spartan-looking shadow. Turning to Costa, the man has a gladiator fetish and a following. Heck, even his Beard has a following. And, it turns out, Costa’s been looking for a way to satisfy his fans’ hunger for autographs and pictures; so here we are. JK does his thing, Costa takes care of his fans. Win-win.

JK will offer a series of seven drawings, the first of which is available today from JK’s website,www.tacticaldrawings.com, for $45. The remaining six drawings will follow at roughly 3-4 month intervals.

Costa is giving 100 percent of his proceeds to the Stars and Stripes Foundation. JK’s invested his time and talent heavily in this project. He can’t afford to donate 100 percent, so JK’s donating a portion of his proceeds to Stars and Stripes Foundation as well as his church.

I know what you’re thinking: “$45 for a drawing? Of Costa?” These are not shop wall pin-up posters. This is an 18” x 12” water-colored, pencil drawing printed on 100 pound matte paper using a digital press bearing Costa’s digital signature.

Consider all the work that went into the drawing. JK spent 20 hours researching and preparing. He made period-specific props from cardboard and found a gladiator-esque model to guide his representation of the “spirit” warrior. He roped-in Pima County Deputy Sheriff Avery Cox as the model. (As an aside, JK told me, “I feel sorry for any criminal caught by that guy.”) He added some of his own touches to the armor, but the shoulder, arm and shinguards are period-accurate, as is the shield. Russell Crowe fans may recognize the helmet is inspired by the one worn by Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius in the film, “Gladiator.”

Barrett’s re-engineered, trimmed down classic 750-RPM equalizer



Serious reach! A solid M240 crew can lay down accurate fire out to 800 yards when shooting from the weapon’s bipod, and 1,800 yards from a tripod.


The U.S. military has called upon the M240B belt-fed medium machine gun for two decades to provide troop support with suppressive and direct fire. These weapons have put millions of rounds downrange, and littered the sand with hot empty brass, links and blood when called upon. The M204B is reliable, but troops in the field alerted their higher ups that improvements were needed. A request went out to “cut the fat” from a weapon that incorporates design features that date back to the end of WWI. Barrett Firearms, dependable provider of the M107 .50 semi-auto, took the initiative and designed the M240LW to take advantage of cutting-edge manufacturing techniques.




Battle Experience

Three soldiers comprise a normal M240B team, but many soldiers are trained on the weapon so they can man the gun if needed. One soldier with M240B experience is 24-year-old Aaron Fouraker.

Fouraker, a self-claimed shooting enthusiast from Russellville, Arkansas, was fascinated with firearms and shooting from an early age. After a year of college, Fouraker joined the military. “I joined the Army in May 2005,” Fouraker said, “and got assigned to Ft. Bragg and the 82nd Airborne Division in June 2006.” When he got to Bragg, Fouraker was assigned to Delta Company 154.


The Barrett M240LW utilizes the same soldier-familiar gas adjustment assembly found on the M240B.
