Fayette, MO—CMMG has announced that it will add a 5.56mm version to its recently released line-up of AR pistols.
Aside from the caliber, the most notable difference in this new Mk4 K AR Pistol in 5.56mm is that it features a 12.5-inch barrel, compared to the 8.2-inch barrel found on the .300 AAC Blackout and 9mm versions. The increased barrel length will allow shooters to attain greater accuracy and excellent reliability with the popular 5.56mm cartridge.

There’s always another one to push gun control. Details here…
Fairfax, Va. – The United States District Court in the Northern District of Illinois has ordered the City of Chicago to reimburse $940,000 in legal expenses incurred by the NRA. The NRA had challenged Chicago’s ban on gun sales within city limits in Benson v. City of Chicago. The Benson case was consolidated into Illinois Association of Firearm Retailers v. City of Chicago and that case challenged five aspects of Chicago’s law: (1) the ban on any form of carriage; (2) the ban on gun stores; (3) the ban on firing ranges; (4) the ban on self-defense in garages, porches, and yards; and (5) the ban on keeping more than one gun in an operable state.
This is the second time that the City of Chicago has been ordered to reimburse legal fees in a suit sponsored by the NRA. The first was following the U. S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago in which Chicago was ordered to reimburse the NRA more than $600,000.
Lots of pistol choices out there, but which caliber will stack up best based on specifications of the military? I’d prefer a Glock in 10 mm auto, but it may be a bit much.

SureFire’s expanding family of X-Series WeaponLights has a new addition with the release of the X400-GN Ultra® (X400U-A-GN).
