Nosler Defense Ammo

Bullet and ammunition manufacturer Nosler will introduce a new line of handgun and rifle self-defense ammunition at the 2013 SHOT Show next week. Â The Nosler Defense ammo will come in seven loads: one in .223 Remington and the remaining six across the three most popular handgun cartridges: Â 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP.

There will be two offerings from Nosler in each of the handgun calibers. Â One offering will be a traditional Bonded Performance hollowpoint, while the second load will be a polymer-tipped Bonded Performance hollowpoint. Â Deeper penetration and better performance through intermediate barriers are two of the reasons so many self-defense bullet designs use a core that has been bonded to the jacket. Â The polymer tip help prevents the clogging of the hollowpoint, while also helping to ensure bullet expansion.

Ruger SR1911 Commander

The much rumored Ruger SR1911 commander is now a reality after the company announced its introduction on its website. Â Ever since the introduction of the original SR1911, Ruger and 1911 fans have been asking for a commander-sized gun.

The new SR1911 commander is a traditional 1911-style pistol that is slightly shortened in general parameters of the original Colt commander 1911 pistols. Â The gun has a shorter barrel length (4.25″ instead of the full length 5″ barrel) and only holds seven, not eight, rounds in each magazine.

Handguns

Ruger SR45

The Ruger SR45 is now a reality. Â Just days ahead of the 2013 SHOT Show, Sturm, Ruger & Co announced the big bore addition to the company’s popular “SR” series of handguns.

Chambered in .45 ACP, the new SR45 comes standard with 10-round magazines, giving the shooter a lot of firepower. Â Yet, Ruger claims the SR45 remains a relatively thin pistol like the SR9 and SR40. Â According to the specs, the SR45 is 1.27″ wide, which is just 0.07″ wider than a Smith & Wesson M&P. Â The grip width is not specifically mentioned for the SR45.

2 Comments on Detroit Gun Works – Direction Change; Won’t Be At SHOT

I recently published a teaser ad that suggested a cooperative effort between Detroit Gun Works, Blackhawk! and Kroll International. Â I speculated that Detroit Gun Works would be building an AR-style rifle. Â Well, it now looks like Detroit Gun Works will not be at the SHOT Show and may not be making any products with their brand on it in the near future.

In a statement published on their website, Detroit Gun Works stated they will not be at the 2013 SHOT Show, and they will not be making lowers or rifles with the company name on them.

SHOT Show Rumors

Less that 30 days away, the SHOT Show rumors are starting to fly. Â Some are more credible than others, but only time will tell which prove to be correct.

Winchester Repeating Arms is supposed to be introducing new versions of the Super X Pump (SXP) shotguns including a rugged marine version. Â I would expect the Marine Defender to be a salt-water resistant version of the SXP Defender with an 18″ barrel and 5+1 capacity.
