our 2023 issues:

SIG Sauer P365X The Pinnacle of Evolution • Everyday carry (EDC) enthusiasts are always searching for the perfect balance between compactness and firepower. This hugely popular market segment has predominantly been a one-horse race for until the launch of the SIG Sauer P365 series of defensive pistol platforms.

CHS Guns & Ammunition • Starting out as a humble firearm dealership with the odd holster hanging on a bare shelf, CHS Guns & Ammunition has expanded into a knowledgeable team with a vast variety of stock, be it firearms, ammunition, accessories, or even outdoor gear. It caters to an array of clients in the self-defence, sports-shooting, and hunting spheres.

RimX from Zermatt Arms • After years of shooting precision rifle matches with 6.5 Creedmoor and 6 mm GT centrefire rifles, I never thought that rimfire shooting would be as competitive and as fun as it has been. South Africa saw the NRL22 series been launched back in 2022. This paved the way going forward.

Raising the BAR • Although we live in one of the most dangerous countries in the world in terms of violent crime, statistically the chances of us finding ourselves in a ‘threat to life’ situation are fairly remote. It is, however, a reality which can come to pass.

PERPC Steel Extreme • The Port Elizabeth Rifle and Pistol Club (PERPC) hosted its third Steel Extreme match on 3 June. A Level 1 club match, it consisted of six stages and 100 rounds. The match setup was a long stage of 32 rounds, three medium stages of 15 to 20 rounds, and two short stages of seven to eight rounds. All targets used in the match were metal plates and IPSC poppers.

FALSE BAY FIREARM TRAINING ACADEMY • The Firearm Training Academy is pleased to announce the opening of our new and improved gun shop and firearm-training facilities.

The Synergy of Repeatability Unleash the Potential of Match-Grade Monolithic Bullets • Axe Bullets originated in the heartland of Africa, born out of a relentless pursuit for precision and reliable performance. Developed by a passionate African hunter and sports-shooter, the brand embodies a proactive and innovative approach to product development. It is committed to outperforming the competition, driven by an intricate understanding of hunting and shooting sports.
