Rican Havoc Productions and On Point Firearms, together with Heckler and Koch, give you an exclusive first look at the new HK45 weapon system. This new pistol line incorporates the latest advancements in sidearm design into a package that is perfectly suited for combat and personal protection applications. It was originally designed for the US Military Joint Combat Pistol program. Larry Vickers, ex-Delta Force operator, helped HK engineers to develop the HK45.
Rican Havoc Productions and On Point Firearms bring you another exclusive look at the fine work from Predator Custom Shop in Knoxville, Tennessee. This episode focuses on one of the kings of long distance rifles: the .338 Lapua Magnum Ultra Match. Based on the massive Armalite AR-30, this rifle is capable of impressive accuracy and mind-blowing ballistics at ranges in excess of one thousand yards. That’s over half a mile! The might .338 Lapua Magnum was developed in the 80s as a sniper round, and it is capable of penetrating five layers of military kevlar at 1000 yards. Needless to say, the .338 Lapua has been turning cover into concealment for twenty years. Special thanks to Jim Ruiz at the Predator Custom Shop for his continued partnership in this project, and also to Amable and Akwaknot for their original musical scores.
Predator Custom Shop in Knoxville, Tennessee, produces fully customized firearms to meet end user needs. They are run by the new generation of gunsmiths– which is a huge relief to the industry since many masters of the trade are retiring, closing up shop, or passing. The fine craftsmen at Predator Custom Shop are continuing their legacy, and furthering it by fusing it with advanced, modernized techniques. Predator Custom specializes in AR15s, bolt-action rifles, and pistols, but they are extremely knowledgeable in the field and are willing to tackle any project for which they are equipped. They are unbelievably talented in firearms finishing, and they offer many different types of camouflage pattens to best suit the user’s environment.
The fine folks at Predator Custom Shop have partnered up with Rican Havoc Productions and On Point Firearms to present another videoblog review. They sent us three very different firearms; the Designated Marksman Rifle, the Predator .308 Scout, and the Predator Glock 35. While they were all fine specimens of Predator weaponry, the show-stopper was the DMR . Jim Ruiz of Predator recommends the 77gr Black Hills ammunition for optimal performance in this rifle. We had no problem keeping all of our rounds inside the “8” ring at 300 yards when firing from a warm barrel on a windy day. The cold bore capability of this rifle must be truly amazing!

This review cross-examines an updated example of America’s favorite pistol, the 1911. Clearly, the Dan Wesson delivers many custom features and high-quality parts at a realistic price point. Like a custom 1911, this pistol was very tight from the factory, and needs to be fired for a few hundred rounds before being considered fully broken in. If you’re looking for a pistol for harsh weather conditions, this probably isn’t the one for you. If good old American nostalgia has you searching for a high-quality 1911 for concealed carry or target shooting, this pistol deserves your attention.

For the first review in this series, we decided to visit an old friend, John Browning’s Hi-Power. We took a brand new FN Hi-Power SFS in .40S&W and put it through the paces. 200rds later, we were still smiling. Our main dislikes centered around the magazine disconnect feature, which we found unnecessary. This feature also makes the trigger pull heavier. Disabling the magazine disconnect would make this a perfect pistol!
