You’re looking at an Olympic pellet rifle from yesteryear: the Feinwerkbau 300s. This German masterpiece was the gun to beat in the early to mid 80s. It’s a hefty 10.8lbs and the trigger is a nonexistent 3.5 ounces. That’s right… ounces, not pounds. A customer brought it in last month for us to sell on consignment and I decided, after shooting it, that I had to have it for my son– a son that hasn’t even been conceived yet. In the Olympics, shooters fire these pellet rifles standing, off hand, from a distance of 10 meters. They have 105 minutes to hit 60 targets. In honor of this rifle, we’re starting something new at On Point Firearms called “Feinwerkbau Fridays.”
Essentially, our local clients have the opportunity to shoot our .177cal Feinwerkbau 300s at the shop. To make things interesting, a friendly monthly wager will also be in place. Shooters will have the opportunity to sight in the rifle and get used to the manual of arms. Then, when they’re ready, they can drop $1 into the glass jar and fire a three shot group. Your group will be scored and will be placed on the wall of fame– or shame, depending on your score. At the end of the month, the leader takes home the pot o’ cash.
If you find yourself in the neighborhood and would like to compete, just shoot me an e-mail! All in-store clients picking up their orders will also be able to shoot on days other than Friday.
Also, we have two slots remaining for tomorrow’s Tactical Carbine class with Mitch. The fee is $250 and our classroom session starts tonight at 7pm. If you’re interested, please shoot either Mitch or myself an e-mail.
Until Feinwerkbau Friday, have a good ‘un and God bless! — Evan
I didn’t even know the Kahr CM9 existed until a local client ordered one several months ago. Since then, these things have been flying off the proverbial shelves! In a nutshell, the Kahr CM9 is a less refined version of the company’s flagship subcompact: the PM9. However, the CM9 definitely gets the job done as a concealed carry weapon. It’s super slim, packs a 9mm punch, and costs only $365 for members of our exclusive VIP program. (Retail is $515) To achieve such an unprecedented low price point, Kahr did less machine work on the slide of the CM9, but fans of the gun-maker will be pleased that it still sports the best double action only (DAO) trigger in the business. Order yours today, while supplies last. [click here]
If you haven’t visited our photo gallery in awhile, there are a lot of new pictures to check out like the Springfield EMP40, Rossi Ranch Hand 357mag, LWRC M6SL Superlight Carbine, Colt New Agent Defender, HK Umarex MP5-SD 22lr, and more!
Also, if you’re interested in joining us for our Carbine Class this Thursday, we still have two slots available. You can reserve your space here.
Until next time, have a good one and God bless. — Evan
Happy New Year from your friends at On Point Firearms. Over the holiday, we were digging through the back of the safe and found some items that need to be cleared out, so they’re loaded in the clearance section at prices below dealer cost! Check them out here.
There are many reasons that 2012 is going to be an exciting year for On Point. If you’re one of our local customers, you’ve probably heard about the newest member of our team: Mitch Milillo. He’s a former Marine Corps Scout Sniper and instructor and has been teaching our local clients the fundamentals of marksmanship. What makes our classes different that others is the size: limited to only 4-6 students. This allows for a more intimate learning environment. Nobody gets left behind. Nobody slips through the cracks. You’re going to be a better shooter, guaranteed!
Next week, we’re hosting our 5th class at the Manatee Gun & Archery Club– about an hour south of the shop. Tactical Carbine 1 is a course designed to teach shooters how to properly employ the AR15, AK47, AUG, SCAR, or any other primary weapon they might have. We’ll take you from zero to 100mph if you’re a new shooter. If you’ve already been around the block before, we’ll take you to the next level. Tuition is only $250 and requires a minimum of 300rds of ammo. It’s an all day event on 12 Jan 2012 with a 1-2 hour classroom session the night before, 11 Jan, at On Point Firearms. If you’re interested in joining us, please visit our training section to learn more. Also, feel free to e-mail myself or Mitch direct: mitch@onpointfirearms.com. We look forward to taking you to the next level as a shooter!
That’s all for today. We’ll have more exciting news for you next time. Until then, have a good one and God bless!

As we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, we wanted to take the time to wish you a very Merry Christmas. God bless you and yours during this special time. We’re thankful to work with such good, God-fearing, hard-working, honorable clients. Thanks for making 2011 another great year for On Point Firearms.
And if you’re sneaking out of kitchen and cleaning duties to catch up on e-mail like me, here’s a video we whipped up yesterday. One of my best buddies, Jack, got a new Elcan SpecterDR for Christmas. His AAC 762-SDN-6 just arrived, so I brought it to the range so we could test the whole package. Take a couple of minutes to watch the video— then, get back to work! [click here for the video]
Thanks again for being the best customers we could ever ask for. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. God bless.

I know topics like Ghosts and Zombies go over better during Halloween than Christmas, but there’s no denying their popularity. And if you’re shopping for a few last minute stocking stuffers, these items might fit the bill for the shooter on your list!
First up is the sensational ZombieMax ammo from Hornady. Z-Max is cleverly packaged and rebranded V-Max– the company’s famous match-grade ballistic tip ammunition. Instead of a red tip, ZombieMax sports green. The 168 grain .308win version is super hot at 2700fps at the muzzle. It’s a neat gift idea for someone that is into the zombie movie craze. Plus, it’s great ammo to boot.
Anyone with a Glock pistol can improve their trigger pull with a Ghost trigger connector and/or spring kit. They’re available in a variety of different trigger pulls from the 3.5lb Standard, Ultimate, and Rocket models to the 4.5lb Ranger and 5.0lb Tactical. There’s one for every Glock owner on your list. Click here for our selection of Ghost triggers.
Finally, I spoke too soon when I said Monday was your last chance to get one of the HK Umarex MP5-K BB guns. We’ve just received another 10 units, so it’s not too late… yet. 
Have a good one and God bless! — Evan
