On this week’s 2nd Best Gun Podcast, we hang out with Logan Windfeldt, head of product development at Maxim Defense. Maxim has been cooking up some really cool stuff in the past couple of years while looking to strike a tender deal. Although details of the deal are scant, the resulting technology and how they have implemented it into their latest guns are impressive. Logan talks us through a couple of new guns and what makes them special.
