More and more Werywin 15-22 rifles showing up across the country. This one is in the hands of a guy from Uttar Pradesh. India’s first AR-15 platform rifle designed specifically for civilian use, chambered in .22 LR.

This thing has gone way beyond a normal factory IOF .32 Revolver.

Scroll engraving across almost every exposed steel surface: frame, top strap, barrel rib, trigger guard, even the cylinder. Likely nickel or hard chrome refinishing that gives it the shiny reflective surface.

Let me tell you.. toh kya hua

This violates multiple provisions of the Arms Rules, 2016.

- If the son has no separate additional licence. He cannot legally possess, carry, or use the father's arms without one. Arms licences are personal to the named holder.
- The father (licensee) gave an undertaking that the gun would be stored securely to prevent access by anyone other than himself. Handing it to the son for his car adventures directly breaches this.
- Legal heirs and inheritance rules only apply after the licensee's death and not for a living father and his spoiled son casual sharing.

This is exactly why Rule 20 exists. To allow controlled family access only through formal additional licences where the father may apply for grant of additional licence for any two of his close relatives who are not in possession of any arms licence and who are residing with him at his home address.

Two of the biggest Indian gun houses (on the internet) are now fighting openly. One of them, which also owns a stake in (is director) in an arms manufacturing company, allegedly owes nearly ₹90 lakh to the other.

The side claiming the money is now publicly mocking their guns by posting videos showing malfunctions, failed function checks, and poor quality while the other party seems impossible to reach by phone or any communication.

Makes you wonder if there’s any sector left in this country that isn’t plagued by poor quality, incompetence, and shady practices.

Punjab is leading the way in firearm customization. The craftsmanship coming out of the region is genuinely next level. Absolutely breathtaking work.

For the curious: this is Nanda Cheetah chambered in the legendary 7.62×25mm Tokarev (also known as 30 bore in India).

That most certainly appears to be a real Browning Hi-Power, the kind still in service with Armed Forces and Security Forces. The key visual giveaway is the rear sight mounted on a raised machined platform (often referred to as a “podium” or “hump”), along with the classic ring-style skeletonized hammer commonly seen on the Indian 1A pattern.

The finish, metallic sheen, proportions, and apparent weight all strongly suggest an actual firearm. I would genuinely like to give the benefit of the doubt here, but it is very difficult to dismiss.

This goes beyond bad parenting; it is potentially a serious violation of the Arms Act. Handguns in India are strictly regulated, secure storage is mandatory, and minors cannot legally possess or handle firearms. Allowing a toddler access to a handgun like this is reckless on every level: the risk of accidental discharge, the possibility of tragedy within seconds, and a complete disregard for both safety and the law.

To make matters worse, this appears to be a restricted-category firearm for civilians, which raises even more legal concerns. Without getting into specifics, there are likely multiple additional rules being violated here as well.

I was just looking to get a cheap .22lr gun and came across this

First the same gun houses ignored the technical flaws, poor quality and a bunch of other issues and sold their handguns, now they can’t stop talking about it on social media.

Funny how the ‘concern’ only started once payments stopped coming in.

MSD 1911, chambered in .45 ACP in a highly polished mirror finish paired with engraved black-and-white contrast artwork style grips.

In all honestly, great custom work.

Stallion's Classic Standard-1 (CS1) revolver, chambered in .32 S&W Long with old-school nickel / stainless finish paired with engraved grip panels featuring gold-and-black floral scrollwork.

TS9 is a full-size, striker-fired 9x19mm duty pistol originally developed by Taurus Armas (Brazil) for military and police use. In India, it's now being 100% manufactured locally through a joint venture (JV) between Taurus and the Jindal Group.

Deep scroll engraving across the slide and frame is the centerpiece with blackened finish and pearl-style grips. 1911-style handgun, chambered in .45 ACP. Let's appreciate the aftermarket custom work that has gone into it!

What's the difference between these two MSD Guardian 1911s?

The one on the left is the original version launched in India, while the one on the right is the later updated variant. Both chambered in .45 ACP. You can spot the differences through a few key details:

- No forward slide serrations unlike the newer model.
- Solid long trigger instead of the newer skeletonized trigger.
- Simpler "MSD 1911" slide markings, whereas the newer version carries full branding.
- More compact beavertail grip safety.
- Classic Commander-style rounded hammer instead of the newer skeletonized combat hammer.

Werywin Defence’s Victor 1911 fitted with a Solofish under-barrel flashlight/laser attachment.

Great to see Indians embracing the full modern AR-15 customization culture. Also a pretty decent build overall. Though personally, I would've gone for an all-black setup. Purely personal preference.

- Long-range / magnified optic
- Bipod
- Aggressive rail system
- Modern adjustable stock

Also, I'd add 2 more attachments:
- Tactical flashlight mounted on the left side rail
- Sling/carrying strap attached to the stock and the front of the handguard.

For the curious: This is the Werywin 15-22 Rifle. Basically the Indian civilian "precision tactical AR" aesthetic, just chambered in .22LR.

Don't be surprised if you start seeing these around your city soon. Private armed bouncers in Punjab are already carrying the Werywin 15-22 rifle chambered in .22LR.

Looks tactical, sure, but at the end of the day, it’s still a rimfire platform firing a relatively low-powered cartridge. Let's hope it's got at-least HP rounds in that mag.
