Yesterday all the unsubstantiated rumors were proven real as more than one importer revealed that 5.45x39mm steel-core ammunition has been classified as armor piercing pistol ammunition by the ATF.

I started down this particular road because I thought the AK-47 pistol was fun. I shot a PAP AK pistol belonging to a friend of the podcast at the Texas Gun Talk shoot and it was a blast! I also thought the AK-47 pistol was impractical, silly and a bit expensive for a range toy. Then the good folks at J&G Sales dropped the price of the PAP pistol to $399.99. I was literally sold.

On the heels of All Outdoors breaking the news that LWRC was up for sale, TFB announced that they had a well-placed source inform them that Colt would be buying LWRC for $60 million on March 1st.
