Wow Your Range Buddies with These 4 Uncommon Types of Guns

Have your range buddies ever shot a striker fired 1911? They might have used a hunting rifle, but what about a modern precision bolt action rifle? What about a pistol caliber carbine? There are all sorts of unique firearms, and when you own out-of-the-ordinary guns that the average shooter has never tried, you get the opportunity to impress everyone. Here are a few firearms sure to wow your range buddies.



An AR Meant for Distance


Chances are, your range buddies have only used a regular AR. Standard length, standard furniture, nothing fancy or special. The MK12 rifle changes that. It looks nearly the same as a standard AR, but it has a few key upgrades. First, it has a longer stainless steel barrel at 18 inches. It also has a rifle-length gas block and a free-floating quad Picatinny handrail. This adds weight, helping tame recoil. It doesn’t touch the barrel, which helps preserve barrel harmonics and is a factor for improving accuracy. In short, the MK12 is meant to be more accurate over longer distances than a typical AR out of the box.


A Striker Fired 1911


Many shooters have experience with 1911 handguns, but striker fired 1911s are a step above. With an internal striker mechanism, the pistol has a lower bore axis, making target acquisition, especially reacquisition, much easier. The recoil is also more straight back instead of up, contributing to faster, more accurate follow-up shots. It will make your range buddies rethink the classic 1911, and even if they already own a traditional 1911, they might add this new version to their wish list.

A Tactical Pistol Caliber Carbine


If you want to school your range buddies during a tactical drill, use a PCC 9MM. It has all of the ergonomics that you (and your range buddies, of course) love in an AR, but handles and shoots much quicker. That’s the benefit of being chambered in 9MM. It’s lighter, however, that doesn’t make it any less accurate, and it’s easy to shoot. Find one with a cold hammer forged barrel for enhanced accuracy. It’s certain to wow your range buddies, especially if you get one with a fully ambidextrous lower, making it easy for any of your range buddies to give it a try.


A Precision Bolt Action Rifle


Shooting a hunting rifle is one thing; shooting a rifle purpose-built for precision is quite another. Settle in the bipod, press your cheek into the adjustable cheek rest, line up your shot, and you can hit the target almost automatically. You can find rifles that are built-to-order, with a guarantee of shooting .75 MOA or better. Even newer shooters can be accurate with a purpose-built precision bolt action rifle.
