: : Build based on a Sharps Bros. SBGM09 aluminum P320 grip module : : Compact Alpha Shooting Sports slide assembly & Agency Arms barrel : : Custom geometric cubist Cerakote pattern by Ape Kote It didn’t take a crystal ball to predict the aftermarket would embrace SIG Sauer’s “P” series pistols, particularly the top-selling P365 and P320. We’re a bit biased, but it says generally good things about a firearm platform when an entire aftermarket ecosystem sprouts up in support. The real genius of the SIG P320 and P365 series pistols is their high modularity. Upsizing or downsizing the grip, swapping barrels or slides, even changes for chambering a different caliber, the system is designed to facilitate easy customization based on need or preference.

: : Build based on a Woox Furiosa chassis & Pristine Actions Remington 700 short action : : Custom gladiator laser etching by 2A Tactical LLC : : Chambered for 6.5 Creedmoor Admittedly, we haven’t featured a whole lot of bolt guns in these pages. That isn’t necessarily because we have no interest in them, but mostly because of the huge number of semi-auto customizations we get flooded with in the enthusiast world. Then something special comes along and knocks all our pre-conceived notions out of the park. This custom-chassis precision rifle is another Violent Art Firearms creation by UN12 contributor Jay Canter. Historically a fan of more CQB-oriented builds, the sorts that might be optimized for vehicle carry or for fitting into a bag or backpack, he more recently…

Dry firing sucks, and it provides no training value beyond a trigger press. Doing it often enough can even build bad neural pathways that can cause problems in the field. I’m going to tactically pause here to allow those that need to make incoherent screeching noises in response to these statements to get it out of their system. Clear to continue? Good. Dry firing is often touted as the key to building fundamentals and maintaining skill sets at home. I’m sure you have heard almost every real instructor and YouTube not-instructor say that you need to dry fire every day at home. The problem is that dry firing in and of itself is a fundamentally flawed exercise, albeit with good intentions. What is dry firing? Dry firing is a method…

: : Scratch-built frame modeled after a Taurus PT92 : : Adapted from a Beretta 93R parts kit including complete slide, stock & vertical grip : : Semi-automatic UN12 readers never cease to surprise me. When we launched the “Clone LIfe” series, I never imagined the incredible builds I’d come across—or the level of dedication and craftsmanship that some of you bring to this hobby. Many of us build clones to honor a memory, pay tribute to a specific era, or recreate something that’s simply out of reach. In the case of the Beretta 93R, all three reasons apply. “The 93R is one of the most elusive machine pistols ever made.” Steve, a longtime firearms enthusiast and owner of a small CNC machine shop in the Midwest, reached out to…

: : HK MP5 clone based on a Zenith ZF-5 upper assembly : : Spotted Woodland Cerakote by Stronghold Coatings : : Chambered in 9mm Since beginning the journey of creating some of the coolest bespoke firearms on the planet a decade ago, there was always something on my list that I wanted to get creative on. That piece is none other than the Heckler & Koch MP5. So many movies have run the iconic sub-gun that it has become a must-have for any aficionado or collector. Films such as Die Hard, Sicario, Lethal Weapon, and The Matrix have shown how cool a small 9mm sub-gun can be, and an effective tool. Of course, the civilianlegal version, the HK SP5, is quite expensive and, for a good bit of time,…

Students attend professional shooting/tactics/skills classes for a variety of reasons. Some are professional military or law enforcement and are seeking to enhance their skill sets. Some are “professional students” who take their rifleman training very seriously. And some are red-blooded patriots who like guns, gear, and the Second Amendment culture and are on a weekend man-cation. Whatever your reason for attending a course, I’m sure you can agree that most classes and instructors are fun and informative. Chances are high that you will be graduating from the class having picked up some knowledge, made some new friends, and will have a smile plastered on your face. After all, who doesn’t like a weekend filled with shooting guns? Regardless of your personal or professional background, if you’re attending a shooting/tactics/skills class,…

: : Chambered in 9x19 : : JDM-inspired livery : : Custom Cerakoted by Koted Arms “Thanks to a modular platform like the P320 and a growing aftermarket, you can build an upgraded pistol on your own schedule and budget.” Customization used to mean emptying out your wallet and preparing for a long wait. In the past, getting a pistol tailored to your exact preferences often required handing it over to a gunsmith, then waiting weeks—or more—for the work to be done. But today, the landscape has shifted. Thanks to a modular platform like the SIG Sauer P320 and a growing aftermarket of high-quality components, you can build a fully upgraded pistol on your own schedule—and often for less money than a full custom job. This particular P320 build proves…

EOTech has long been a brand trusted by shooters who demand reliability, optical clarity, and innovation. With the release of the Vudu 3-9x32 Second Focal Plane (SFP) riflescope, EOTech once again pushes boundaries—this time by compressing the capabilities of a traditional variable optic into a surprisingly compact footprint. The 3-9x magnification range is hardly new—optics with this range have been staples of the rifle world for decades. But the Vudu 3-9x32 is anything but a traditional scope. EOTech has managed to pack the features of a full-size variable optic into a housing not much larger than one of their iconic holographic sights. This reduced size opens up a lot of possibilities. It’s an ideal fit for rifles with limited rail space, such as PCCs, short-barreled rifles, or modern lever guns.…

: : Inspired by the U.S. Navy’s Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle : : Capable of sub-MOA groups with factory match ammo : : Chambered in .223 Wylde The Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle is one of the most recognizable and effective designated marksman rifles ever fielded by the U.S. military. Celebrated for its precision and adaptability, it has inspired countless clones and near-clones built by civilian shooters and collectors alike. But for one shooter, simply owning a faithful Mk 12 clone wasn’t enough. He wanted something different—something personal. The result is a rifle that’s unmistakably Mk 12-inspired but diverges from the well-trod clone path. It blends legacy components with modern enhancements, reinterpreting the SPR concept rather than recreating it. Built several years ago, this rifle has earned its keep…
