Sig Sauer’s MPX Copperhead carries on the performance goals and bantam parameters of the rifle-caliber MCX Rattler, but translates them into an even more diminutive pistol-caliber platform. Chambered in 9 mm Luger and operated by a short-stroke gas piston, the MPX Copperhead is equipped with a 3.5" barrel which features an integral muzzle brake. The upper receiver is a monolithic design that includes a small handguard and handstop, and full-length Picatinny rail for the addition of optics. The lower receiver sports bilateral controls, the Rattler-profile pistol grip and SIG’s new Pivoting Contour Brace, which extends rearward to a single locking point and is designed to move and swivel more naturally when attached to the user’s arm. Finished in a Cerakote Elite Coyote Tan, the MPX Copperhead, like the Rattler before, is the embodiment of portable firepower. sigsauer.com

Why the Murder Rate Quickly Fell to a Likely Historic Low

If the gun-control Left is to be believed, then the murder rate in the U.S. should be going up. After all, gun sales and ownership rates have been rising for the last few decades and anti-gun groups claim that gun ownership is the cause of violent crime. This, of course, is nonsense.
