ON THE EIGHTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS…
By Tom McHale

USA --(Ammoland.com)- On the eighth day of Christmas, I hope my true love gives to me…

Eight guns for plinking…

	Beretta CX4 Storm Carbine Always wanted one of these. In 9mm. Not sure why, but a light fast bullet just seems right out of this gun, especially as a plinker. It would get some nice accessories on the rail for sure.
	Henry Golden Boy .22LR Yes, you remember correctly. We had another Henry rifle listed in our 5 Magnum Things list. They are just SO classy and you can’t beat a lever action for pure fun. Having one in .22LR means shooting all day for less than $20.
	Winchester 9410 .410 Hmmm. We seem to be on a lever action kick here. But how can you resist a .410 lever action shotgun? Talk about the ultimate plinker! Slugs, shot, buck. Knock yourself out. Too bad its not in production anymore, so keep an eye on the used market.
	Browning 1911-22 A1 Shot a pre-release model of this gun at the 2011 Professional Outdoor Media Association Conference and… wow! It’s more fun than should be legal. Want one bad.
	Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 Fun, cheap to run, and maintains the operating features of a centerfire AR. Great for practice, but fun just because…
	Tactical Solutions X-Ring Rifle Who wouldn’t want a tricked out Ruger 10/22? Loaded with all the Tactical Solutions goodies, this one can’t be beat.
	Beretta 92 Series .22LR Practice Kit Pricey, but the quality and functionality are top notch. We’ve had one before and in a moment of complete stupidity, traded it. Ouch. We’d get the barrel threaded for a suppressor this time.
	H&K MP5 A5 .22LR Why? You have to ask why? Really?

Seven lasers aiming…

Six scales a weighing…

Five magnum things…

Four written words…

Three tactical pens…

Two shooting gloves…

And a Smith and Wesson M and P…

On the Seventh Day of Christmas… Seven Lasers Aiming

ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS… By Tom McHale

USA --(Ammoland.com)- On the seventh day of Christmas, I hope my true love gives to me…

Seven lasers aiming…

Lasers make a great addition to self defense firearms and even light armor defeating rockets. Try these for your Christmas wish list:

	Crimson Trace LG-850 Brand spanking new for the full size Glock Gen IV platform, this one is compatible with the Crimson Trace Lightguard as it features a rear activation button. Unlike the older models, it also features a master on-off switch.We’ve got one of these on the way for review and will post results soon!
	Viridian Gen 2 Light & Laser Been looking for a light / laser combo for the Beretta PX4 Storm. This just might be the ticket. 154 lumen light and green laser that can flash or remain constant.
	Crimson Trace SFL-100 for M72 LAW Anti-Tank Weapon We have it on good authority that Iain Harrisonand the rest of the Crimson Trace PR and Marketing team carry this big caliber combo for personal defense. Maybe you should consider an upgrade as well? It IS your life after all…One note of caution – there is some risk of over-penetration with the LAW, so remember, every anti-tank rocket you fire has a lawyer attached to it.
	Lasermax Uni-Max Green Always liked the versatility of this one. Small and thin, use it alone or clamp a light on the bottom for a self-configured combo-unit.
	Crimson Trace MVF-515G Modular Foregrip for AR Rifles Somehow this seems like some form of ‘dual-wielding’ with lights and lasers – but without the X-Box. Gotta get the green laser option but it also comes in red.
	Crimson Trace LG-402M for Beretta 92/96/M9 The newer mil-spec version is far more weatherproofy and features a front activation switch. We always had trouble with side activation switches as some holsters would activate the laser. Some people were put off by the red death beam coming out the bottom of my jeans.
	Crimson Trace G10 Master Series for 1911’s Made of tough G10 material, these grips not only look sharp, but are plenty durable. Love the Rosewood versions as well.
