An optic placed anywhere on the rail will be centered on the receiver. It has a non-reciprocating charging handle on the left side of the gun. PSA has plans to build an ambidextrous version of the upper as well for those who are either left-handed or simply want the ambi option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gas system has three adjustable positions, for standard, suppressed, and single shot use. This is great news because anything in this category is usually going to end up suppressed; having an adjustable gas key keeps us from suffering excessive gas blowback and black lung while running our cans on this gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aluminum handguards feature three M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions and includes a forehand stop. The barrel is a short 7.5 inches with a 1\/8 twist, which works well for subsonic loads. The whole thing only weighs about 5.5 pounds and can be easily carried or stored in small spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe lower is pure mil spec AR; this allows the shooter to drop in their own trigger or other components. There are a few items that will not be compatible, however, such as a BAD lever, which won't work because of receiver geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those of you already drooling and planning on mods, know that the barrel can't be changed out. PSA threaded it into the receiver and you would destroy the screws in your attempt. If you want different calibers, it requires a new upper. With that said, PSA chambered the first version of this gun in 300 Blackout. This is a fantastic decision as the round fits well with the operating system. Throw in a suppressor and you have one hell of a small 30 cal fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA plans on making a 5.56 version as well, but it will be pushed out to a 10.5-inch barrel, as a 7.5 inches is nothing short of obnoxious and finicky. It will also be a carbine length gas system. Another version I am personally excited about is a 9mm variant. It will be a blowback 9mm version on PSA's Scorpion mag lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA also plans to do a Glock mag-compatible version down the road. But that's not all. Another angle PSA hopes to take on the platform is to push it out in either a 16-inch or 14.5-inch variant with a pin and welded muzzle device to create a DMR. The plan is to chamber it in Grendel or Valkyrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA is known for \u201ckeeping it real\u201d by pricing its guns for everyday people. The JAKL will be no different with a goal price of between $799 and $899, depending on final manufacturing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of publishing time, PSA says its plan is to have it on the market by late summer. PSA pushed back the launch of its PS9 Dagger<\/a> from early June to late June. Here we are in late July with no Dagger, so I'm not sure if the same will happen with the JAKL. Regardless, I am looking forward to adding this handy shooter to my \u201cjust one more gun\u201d collection.

Like the general AR market, the sheer number and similarity of guns can be overwhelming. In fact, it can make your eyes glaze over as you search online for options.

There are countless evolutions of rifle and AR pistol designs in the market. Each brought forth with the goal of meeting customer demands. One area that has seen a big push is the \u201ctruck gun<\/a>\u201d market. A truck gun is essentially a short barrel AR or AR pistol that can be easily stored and handled in a small space. The genesis of this design comes from the military special operations community that nudged rifle companies to build a gun they could run more easily in vehicles and small spaces. Fast forward to 2020 and there are countless options in this arena. One in particular that caught my eye is the PSA JAKL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The PSA JAKL caught my eye because it does not have the traditional AR buffer tube and stock. It uses the super reliable long-stroke gas system seen in the AK-47. Dale Morgan, lead AR platform designer for PSA, designed the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA had been kicking around the truck gun concept for a while, but it was not exactly what they wanted. The game changed when it decided to abandon the AR buffer system and head to the long stroke piston. From there, Morgan focused on the recoil system and modeled the receiver around it. With that, PSA already knew what things like the bolt mass and spring rate were, which helped the overall design process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opting for a piston system allows for the use of pistol braces and other folding stocks. The prototype gun PSA has shown features the SB Tactical Triangle folding brace, which fits the gun and overall application well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gun has a monolithic upper; it adds rigidity and keeps the upper and handguard as one unit. The benefits of this are many, but the most noticeable is the continuity of rail surface. An optic placed anywhere on the rail will be centered on the receiver. It has a non-reciprocating charging handle on the left side of the gun. PSA has plans to build an ambidextrous version of the upper as well for those who are either left-handed or simply want the ambi option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gas system has three adjustable positions, for standard, suppressed, and single shot use. This is great news because anything in this category is usually going to end up suppressed; having an adjustable gas key keeps us from suffering excessive gas blowback and black lung while running our cans on this gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aluminum handguards feature three M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions and includes a forehand stop. The barrel is a short 7.5 inches with a 1\/8 twist, which works well for subsonic loads. The whole thing only weighs about 5.5 pounds and can be easily carried or stored in small spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe lower is pure mil spec AR; this allows the shooter to drop in their own trigger or other components. There are a few items that will not be compatible, however, such as a BAD lever, which won't work because of receiver geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those of you already drooling and planning on mods, know that the barrel can't be changed out. PSA threaded it into the receiver and you would destroy the screws in your attempt. If you want different calibers, it requires a new upper. With that said, PSA chambered the first version of this gun in 300 Blackout. This is a fantastic decision as the round fits well with the operating system. Throw in a suppressor and you have one hell of a small 30 cal fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA plans on making a 5.56 version as well, but it will be pushed out to a 10.5-inch barrel, as a 7.5 inches is nothing short of obnoxious and finicky. It will also be a carbine length gas system. Another version I am personally excited about is a 9mm variant. It will be a blowback 9mm version on PSA's Scorpion mag lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, the Mk17 features CMMG's patented Radial Delayed Blowback Operating System. The RDB system \"guarantees less felt recoil,\" according to CMMG. You'll see how it works in the video above. The Banshee Mk17 also includes CMMG's patented Last Round Bolt Hold Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lastly for the Banshee Mk17 is MSRP. Depending what version you're looking at, MSRP varies between $1,199.95 to $1,799.95. Each Mk17 ships with one 21-round P320 magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But wait, there's more! For competition and recreational shooters, CMMG is expanding the new Mk17 series to its Resolute line of 16-inch barreled rifles. So if you want something a little bigger than the Banshee AR pistol or SBR, the Resolute is there for you.

There are countless evolutions of rifle and AR pistol designs in the market. Each brought forth with the goal of meeting customer demands. One area that has seen a big push is the \u201ctruck gun<\/a>\u201d market. A truck gun is essentially a short barrel AR or AR pistol that can be easily stored and handled in a small space. The genesis of this design comes from the military special operations community that nudged rifle companies to build a gun they could run more easily in vehicles and small spaces. Fast forward to 2020 and there are countless options in this arena. One in particular that caught my eye is the PSA JAKL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The PSA JAKL caught my eye because it does not have the traditional AR buffer tube and stock. It uses the super reliable long-stroke gas system seen in the AK-47. Dale Morgan, lead AR platform designer for PSA, designed the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA had been kicking around the truck gun concept for a while, but it was not exactly what they wanted. The game changed when it decided to abandon the AR buffer system and head to the long stroke piston. From there, Morgan focused on the recoil system and modeled the receiver around it. With that, PSA already knew what things like the bolt mass and spring rate were, which helped the overall design process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opting for a piston system allows for the use of pistol braces and other folding stocks. The prototype gun PSA has shown features the SB Tactical Triangle folding brace, which fits the gun and overall application well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gun has a monolithic upper; it adds rigidity and keeps the upper and handguard as one unit. The benefits of this are many, but the most noticeable is the continuity of rail surface. An optic placed anywhere on the rail will be centered on the receiver. It has a non-reciprocating charging handle on the left side of the gun. PSA has plans to build an ambidextrous version of the upper as well for those who are either left-handed or simply want the ambi option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gas system has three adjustable positions, for standard, suppressed, and single shot use. This is great news because anything in this category is usually going to end up suppressed; having an adjustable gas key keeps us from suffering excessive gas blowback and black lung while running our cans on this gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aluminum handguards feature three M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions and includes a forehand stop. The barrel is a short 7.5 inches with a 1\/8 twist, which works well for subsonic loads. The whole thing only weighs about 5.5 pounds and can be easily carried or stored in small spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe lower is pure mil spec AR; this allows the shooter to drop in their own trigger or other components. There are a few items that will not be compatible, however, such as a BAD lever, which won't work because of receiver geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those of you already drooling and planning on mods, know that the barrel can't be changed out. PSA threaded it into the receiver and you would destroy the screws in your attempt. If you want different calibers, it requires a new upper. With that said, PSA chambered the first version of this gun in 300 Blackout. This is a fantastic decision as the round fits well with the operating system. Throw in a suppressor and you have one hell of a small 30 cal fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA plans on making a 5.56 version as well, but it will be pushed out to a 10.5-inch barrel, as a 7.5 inches is nothing short of obnoxious and finicky. It will also be a carbine length gas system. Another version I am personally excited about is a 9mm variant. It will be a blowback 9mm version on PSA's Scorpion mag lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA also plans to do a Glock mag-compatible version down the road. But that's not all. Another angle PSA hopes to take on the platform is to push it out in either a 16-inch or 14.5-inch variant with a pin and welded muzzle device to create a DMR. The plan is to chamber it in Grendel or Valkyrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA is known for \u201ckeeping it real\u201d by pricing its guns for everyday people. The JAKL will be no different with a goal price of between $799 and $899, depending on final manufacturing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of publishing time, PSA says its plan is to have it on the market by late summer. PSA pushed back the launch of its PS9 Dagger<\/a> from early June to late June. Here we are in late July with no Dagger, so I'm not sure if the same will happen with the JAKL. Regardless, I am looking forward to adding this handy shooter to my \u201cjust one more gun\u201d collection.

The new short-barreled CMMG Banshee Mk17 is available as either an AR pistol or SBR. We had contributor Sean Utley test the AR pistol version in the 300 Series. One thing that stands out in our test pistol is the brand-new Stormtrooper White Cerakote coating. We first saw that same coating on the Cadex Defence CDX-50 Tremor .50 BMG rifle<\/a> we reported on back in February. It's one of several color options that CMMG offers with the new Mk17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aside from the exterior beauty\u2014we really do like that Stormtrooper White\u2014the new Banshee Mk17 features everything shooters have come to expect from the platform. Firstly, the Mk17 features CMMG's patented Radial Delayed Blowback Operating System. The RDB system \"guarantees less felt recoil,\" according to CMMG. You'll see how it works in the video above. The Banshee Mk17 also includes CMMG's patented Last Round Bolt Hold Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lastly for the Banshee Mk17 is MSRP. Depending what version you're looking at, MSRP varies between $1,199.95 to $1,799.95. Each Mk17 ships with one 21-round P320 magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But wait, there's more! For competition and recreational shooters, CMMG is expanding the new Mk17 series to its Resolute line of 16-inch barreled rifles. So if you want something a little bigger than the Banshee AR pistol or SBR, the Resolute is there for you.

There are countless evolutions of rifle and AR pistol designs in the market. Each brought forth with the goal of meeting customer demands. One area that has seen a big push is the \u201ctruck gun<\/a>\u201d market. A truck gun is essentially a short barrel AR or AR pistol that can be easily stored and handled in a small space. The genesis of this design comes from the military special operations community that nudged rifle companies to build a gun they could run more easily in vehicles and small spaces. Fast forward to 2020 and there are countless options in this arena. One in particular that caught my eye is the PSA JAKL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The PSA JAKL caught my eye because it does not have the traditional AR buffer tube and stock. It uses the super reliable long-stroke gas system seen in the AK-47. Dale Morgan, lead AR platform designer for PSA, designed the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA had been kicking around the truck gun concept for a while, but it was not exactly what they wanted. The game changed when it decided to abandon the AR buffer system and head to the long stroke piston. From there, Morgan focused on the recoil system and modeled the receiver around it. With that, PSA already knew what things like the bolt mass and spring rate were, which helped the overall design process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opting for a piston system allows for the use of pistol braces and other folding stocks. The prototype gun PSA has shown features the SB Tactical Triangle folding brace, which fits the gun and overall application well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gun has a monolithic upper; it adds rigidity and keeps the upper and handguard as one unit. The benefits of this are many, but the most noticeable is the continuity of rail surface. An optic placed anywhere on the rail will be centered on the receiver. It has a non-reciprocating charging handle on the left side of the gun. PSA has plans to build an ambidextrous version of the upper as well for those who are either left-handed or simply want the ambi option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gas system has three adjustable positions, for standard, suppressed, and single shot use. This is great news because anything in this category is usually going to end up suppressed; having an adjustable gas key keeps us from suffering excessive gas blowback and black lung while running our cans on this gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aluminum handguards feature three M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions and includes a forehand stop. The barrel is a short 7.5 inches with a 1\/8 twist, which works well for subsonic loads. The whole thing only weighs about 5.5 pounds and can be easily carried or stored in small spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe lower is pure mil spec AR; this allows the shooter to drop in their own trigger or other components. There are a few items that will not be compatible, however, such as a BAD lever, which won't work because of receiver geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those of you already drooling and planning on mods, know that the barrel can't be changed out. PSA threaded it into the receiver and you would destroy the screws in your attempt. If you want different calibers, it requires a new upper. With that said, PSA chambered the first version of this gun in 300 Blackout. This is a fantastic decision as the round fits well with the operating system. Throw in a suppressor and you have one hell of a small 30 cal fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA plans on making a 5.56 version as well, but it will be pushed out to a 10.5-inch barrel, as a 7.5 inches is nothing short of obnoxious and finicky. It will also be a carbine length gas system. Another version I am personally excited about is a 9mm variant. It will be a blowback 9mm version on PSA's Scorpion mag lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA also plans to do a Glock mag-compatible version down the road. But that's not all. Another angle PSA hopes to take on the platform is to push it out in either a 16-inch or 14.5-inch variant with a pin and welded muzzle device to create a DMR. The plan is to chamber it in Grendel or Valkyrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA is known for \u201ckeeping it real\u201d by pricing its guns for everyday people. The JAKL will be no different with a goal price of between $799 and $899, depending on final manufacturing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of publishing time, PSA says its plan is to have it on the market by late summer. PSA pushed back the launch of its PS9 Dagger<\/a> from early June to late June. Here we are in late July with no Dagger, so I'm not sure if the same will happen with the JAKL. Regardless, I am looking forward to adding this handy shooter to my \u201cjust one more gun\u201d collection.

\r\n\r\n\"I also saw a problem with 9mm barrels and complaints of mis-feeds, double feeds, compacted rounds causing over pressure, etcetera,\" Zampier said. \"<\/span>I decided to start modifying my own feed ramps and polishing the cone, entrance to the cone and the chamber itself. After some time on a lathe and testing, I figured out an angle that worked great and didn\u2019t have too much case exposure.\"\r\n\r\nAs for barrels, after running it for thousands of rounds, Zampier<\/span> had a local company in Arizona machine barrels for him. The company used his design, then he had the barrels black Nitrided. It's a nice touch on an already impressive package.\r\n\r\n\r\nZampier mentioned the Maxim SCW Brace and the Modified KVP Bolt for it, but there's a lot more involved. The Lil Nina also uses Breacher's 3-inch HandGuard by SLR and Breacher\u2019s 2.5-inch Custom Barrel; yes, 2.5 inches. Other features include an SLR Rifle Works Receiver Set, an SLR Linear Comp, an Ambi Bolt Release Modified for SCW clearance, a Breacher\u2019s Raptor SL Charging Handle, a Timney PCC Single Stage Trigger, KNS Pins, and Magpul Pro Irons. There's also three features from Battle Arms including an ambi safety, enhanced TD pins, and a mag release. All of that boils down to a 20.25-inch pistol extended, or 15.5 inches collapsed.\r\n
3rd Gen Tactical really put a lot of time and effort into making this AR stand out in the crowded market and it succeeds in that regard. With an MSRP around $1,800, I would say this gun is definitely a great option for anyone looking for a new AR Pistol. Watch my range test in the video above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 10.5-inch pencil barrel keeps the weight down and provides incredible accuracy. The entire package only weighs 5.6 pounds. 3rd Gen Tactical\u2019s handguard and muzzle device complete the look of this beautiful AR pistol. One thing I noticed immediately was the design of the upper prevents the use of a dust cover. But let\u2019s be real here, how many of us really need a dust cover anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SB Tactical SBA3 pistol brace is pretty much an industry standard at this point. So it was no surprise when I found one hanging off the back end of this pistol. The upper and Humboldt lower are machined together out of Aircraft grade aluminum; this creates extremely tight tolerances where they meet. The quality also means this firearm will last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, I opened up the AR by popping the take down pin out. Because of the crazy tight tolerances, this actually turned into a bit of a struggle. I ended up having to get it started by using the Glass breaker on my pocket knife. Inside I found a beautifully machined bolt carrier group, as well as an awesome ambi charging handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the pistol arrived, I immediately headed to the range. I threw a set of Magpul MBUS Flip up sights on top so I could aim. However, the unique curved rail design almost gives you a natural sight picture when looking down the gun anyway, making so you almost don\u2019t need sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What separates 3rd Gen apart from the competition is that the shop is AS-9100 and ISO 9001 aerospace certified; this means, by law, 3rd Gen is required to have tighter tolerances and better quality than most shops. These tighter tolerances make for one hell of a nice shooting AR pistol that has literally no slop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the name suggests, 3rd Gen Tactical is a third-generation machine shop. There's more than 100 years of machining and engineering experience within the shop. The owner, Evan, worked in his grandfather's and father's shops before opening his own shop in 2007. For the past decade, Evan and his team have been machining parts and receivers for some of the biggest names in the shooting sports industry. In fact, they have built more than 200,000 receivers since opening. Early in 2020, the team at 3rd Gen decided to use those years of experience and come out with its own line of products. At that point, 3rd Gen Tactical was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AR-15 is America's firearm and there are plenty of them on the market. Everywhere you turn these days another company is making its own version of the AR platform<\/a>. However, most of these guns are just \"another AR\" \u2014 a few fancy improvements here and there, but nothing really to write home about; that's not the case with 3rd Gen Tactical and its new UCP (Ultralight Combat Pistol). I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of the first pistols to come out of its shop. Zero disappointment on my end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
