The Canik TP9SA is not the typical pistol you would normally see on BTS. It is what is easily considered a low budget pistol. Now admittedly I was not super enthused about the Canik. Thankful for the opportunity if still a little underwhelmed. It is a Turkish made, probably reverse engineered, Walther P99. The SA is considered a […]
Most of our readers know that Colonel Jeff Cooper loved the 1911 and thought that it was and is the best option for those serious about pistolcraft. There are books about both the man and his love for the 1911. However, while Col. Cooper was a devout worshipper of the .45 ACP, he also expressed […]
It seems that shooters worldwide have an appreciation for polymer-frame pistols, and regardless of how many models are on the market, there is always a new kid on the block trying to make a name for himself. Enter the Diamondback Firearms Co. of Cocoa, Fla., which offers a line of compact and subcompact .380 and […]
Wilson Combat continues to strengthen its pistol offerings in 2016 with the release of the all new Sentinel Compact. RELATED STORY: Sentinel Professional: Wilson Combat’s Short-Slide Pistol The new Compact merges Wilson Combat’s shortest slide fighting pistol — the Sentinel — with the frame of its compact 1911 series handguns. The result is a pistol designed for accurate shooting and easy concealment. The […]
A few months back we produced Vickers Slings in one of the coolest camo patterns – Multicam Tropic. This pattern is awesome when used in the southeast, but doesn’t look so awesome used on a black rifle. Unsatisfied with the Multicam Tropic sling and black rifle combination, I decided to paint guns to match my […]

Developed by Ghost Inc. at the insistence of retired law enforcement officer, author and trainer Dave Spaulding, the CAT is […]
Choosing a pocket pistol can be a daunting task, especially these days when there are more choices in compact handguns than ever before. However, selecting a gun and holster is just part of the problem. You also need to choose a proper pocket in which to carry it so you can draw it quickly and […]
From the very beginning of my police career, I considered the 5.56mm NATO to be less than optimal. Sure, it gets the job done, and 20 years of improvement have only made it better. But for a number of applications, it’s still a bit wanting. This prompted my search for a duty-ready .308 Winchester/7.62mm NATO […]
This new dry fire training system is as simple and realistic as it gets without going to the range and using actual ammo. The system in a nut shell is a barrel replacement that is basically a CO2 cartridge. Each strike of the hammer actuates a pressure release valve that vents enough gas to work the […]
In 2014, I had the opportunity to visit Gemtech’s facility in Boise, Idaho. We were in the arms cage packing for a range trip when I noticed a plastic tray with 10 or so very small suppressors. Each was not much larger than a tube of lipstick. Being the polite guest, I asked before touching. […]
