Weird Gun Wednesday: The Pistola Con Caricato Revolver

Weird Gun Wednesday: The Pistola Con Caricato Revolver

High-capacity handguns, though now considered by many to be representative of a bizarre obsession with excessive firepower and murderous intentions, were once simply an enterprising aspiration. An engineering hallmark. And, though many of these old designs attempting to achieve higher capacities would be seen today as bizarre, none approach the sheer peculiarity of the Pistola Con […]

“Long Range Shooting: External Ballistics – Elevation” is locked Long Range Shooting: External Ballistics – Elevation

External Ballistics for Long Range Shooting: Elevation and Windage

When there is a firing elevation or depression angle, that is, when you’re firing with the barrel inclined upward (uphill) or downward (downhill), the bullet always hits higher than the aimed point. This happens when sights are zeroed on a level range, and then the shot is taken to a target positioned at the same distance […]

The 1911 is still a viable handgun

The 1911 is still a viable handgun

The 1911 is still a viable carry option, 107 years after its development. I own and have owned many Glocks. I’ve built one of my plastic fantastics. I love polymer frame, striker fire pistols. Especially with a nice aftermarket or well broken in trigger. But the 1911 still holds a very special place in my […]

The Sig 320 X-Five is the flagship of the 320 X-Series. Sig calls it the "pinnacle for competition." It is chambered in 9mm or .40 S&W and ready for a match right out of the box. The X-5 has been upgraded with every feature a boy could want: a five-inch match barrel, flat trigger, fully adjustable sights, detachable flared magazine well, integrated grip weight, extended beavertail, undercut trigger guard, extended slide catch lever and optic ready. I got the 9mm model and I am not disappointed. The gun looks great, the slide has three lightning cuts on top and grasping grooves in the slide that are straight and aligned with the grip angle. To top it all off, each P320 X-Five includes four (4) 21rd steel magazines. It comes in a nice foam fitted Sig pistol box. I wanted the P320 X-Five 9mm because it incorporates all of the features I wanted to maximize accuracy, and ergonomics while maintaining the modularity of the P320 platform. You can buy a cheap gun ad up grade it, but you never know if the parts are going to work well together. The X-Five is ready on arrival. The X-Series grip module has a deep trigger guard undercut, a high back strap and an extended beavertail which combined with the flared mag well exactly form to my hand. This gives me a high grip for great recoil management. The removable grip weight lets me tweak the balance to exactly where I want it. The X-Five has a straight trigger that helps the shooter get a consistent set and press. It breaks at 90 degrees for an even better feeling pull. Dawson Precision® Fiber Optic sights are my favorite. The colored post draws the eye and the wide rear notch lines up fast and provides a very precise picture. The rear sights are fully-adjustable. As if that wasn't good enough, there is more. The X-Five pistol is optics-ready right out of the box. The rear sight plate can be removed as a unit and replaced with a ROMEO1 red dot optic. Specs: CALIBER 9mm Luger ACTION TYPE Semi-Auto FRAME SIZE Full-Size FRAME MATERIAL Polymer SLIDE FINISH Nitron SLIDE MATERIAL Stainless Steel BARREL MATERIAL Stainless Steel ACCESSORY RAIL M1913 TRIGGER Striker TRIGGER TYPE X-Series Straight BARREL LENGTH 5 in (127 mm) OVERALL LENGTH 8.5 in (216 mm) OVERALL WIDTH 1.6 in (41 mm) HEIGHT 5.8 in (147 mm) WEIGHT 35.6 oz (1 kg) The Sig 320X5-9-BAS has a MSRP of $1,005.00 Once I get the X-5 out to the range and get a few thousand rounds through it, I will report back and give you an update.

Some Thoughts on Guns With Lights

Modern firearms often come equipped with rails to accept, well, anything that may fit on them. A lot of people feel that a firearm is not complete without a light. We know there are tons of vendors willing to sell you lots of things you don’t need. The “lightweight rifle” won’t remain that way if […]

Stag Arms Model 4: One for the Vets!

As we grow we tired of the over-accessorized and video-game inspired black rifle, Stag Arms has a model to take us back.  The Model 4 is built with inspiration from the real war fighter with features akin to the M16A2 and A3 models.  Devoid of acronyms and buzzwords the Model 4 pays tribute to what […]
