    New GI American on the way!

    After handling a NN a few weeks ago and reading nothing but rave reviews (many rating them higher than their own NH/WC/EB) I saw one come up on AR15 and pounced. Any owners out there of one GI's offerings? Like to hear more about that 50GI round too. Sounds amazing

    I wrote up the American for SWAT Magazine-- you can download the back issue for I think $5.

    O'course Alex Zimmermann is a good friend..... which I did disclose in the article. But it is a rock-solid 1911.

    I might download that. I would like to more about that brand but I have had a hard time getting educated opinions on them.
    Full disclosure: I'm the editor of Calibre Magazine, which is Canada's gun magazine. In the past I've done consulting work for different manufacturers and OEM suppliers, but not currently. M4C's disclosure policy doesn't seem to cover me but we do have advertisers, although I don't handle that side of things and in general I do not know who is paying us at any given time.

    These are I think all the articles I've written for SWAT, the GI American is next to last. Published in 2011.
