RECOIL Issue #22

RECOIL issue 22 is now on sale, and to get you in the mood for some conspicuous holiday consumption, we've scoured garages, spare rooms, and small business starter units for the best in hand-crafted American man goods, so you can shop to heart's content. To haul your loot around, we recommend a Survivortruck — this version's more compact than the previous one, but by no means lacking in amenities.

Mac returns to help you work off some of your excess turkey-induced calories, and as you contemplate plummeting temperatures and overcast skies, you can use this issue's Visit article to imagine yourself in glorious northern Italy. Alternatively, should country a little closer to home be more appealing, there's advice on putting together your own western elk hunting trip, for not much coin.

Guns? Oh yes, we have those too. The new Kriss Vector in 9mm Para gets wrung out by Steven Kuo — the poor guy developed carpal tunnel syndrome through stuffing 33 round magazines, just so you could see how it performed in full auto. Oh, the humanity!

We also take a look at EraThr3's collaboration with Clint Smith to shave ounces from an AR, beat the snot out of CMMG's 9mm carbine, and ask whether the M1 can be updated to make it into a valid HD alternative. And then there's that flamethrower…

So elbow your way through the crowds at your favorite retailer, grab a copy, pop a cold one and settle in for some entertaining “me” time.
