Some time back I wrote an article about the Caracal Enhanced F, a 9mm pistol that was turning heads with its strength and reliability. Now I want to look at what Caracal is doing today, the CMP9 & CMP9K: Hard-use platforms built for real work. Some guns show up looking tactical. The CMP9 and CMP9K […]
The Beretta-licensed 92A1 CO₂ BB pistol delivers authentic weight, blowback action, and a full-auto switch that turns training into pure grin-inducing firepower.
The Swiss-German firm SIG Sauer (“SIG” as in Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft, e.g. “Swiss Industrial Company”) is one of the world’s most venerable and respected gunmakers, dating back to 1853, and accordingly, has won many law enforcement and military contracts around the world in its proud history, including with the U.S. Armed Forces and many civilian […]
First Shot Let me tell you, few things in life hit harder than a .45 ACP from a slab-sided chunk of American steel. And while this one technically hails from Turkey, the Tisas 1911A1 is like that smiling immigrant in basic training who shows up, shakes your hand firm, and immediately volunteers for airborne school. […]
Besides being my all-time personal sentimental favorite pistol, the Beretta 92FS, aka M9, is a truly iconic combat handgun. Believe it or not, the Beretta 92/M9 pistol series is celebrating its 50th birthday this year, which by happy happenstance (alliterative wordplay intended) falls the year before the 500th anniversary of its manufacturer, which just so […]
There’s a fine line between “pocket pistol” and “pocket rocket,” and Juggernaut Tactical just bulldozed across it with their all-metal grip module for the Sig P365. If the stock frame was Peter Parker, this thing is Venom, heavier, meaner, and oozing pure tacti-COOL muscle. You want control? Check. You want looks? BIG check, it’s like […]
As my dear readers both on Patreon and here on The Loadout Room are aware, I’m a longtime fanboys of the 9x18mm Makarov pistol. Granted, the Mak isn’t quite the all-time sentimental favorite that my beloved Beretta 92FS aka M9 is. Nonetheless, the Cold War classic Pistolet Makarova holds plenty of sentimental value for me. […]
As those of you dear readers who also read my stuff on The National Interest may recall, back on 2 January 2025, my review of the Ruger Wrangler .22 LR single-action (SA) revolver was published. (I had acrually test-fired the gun back on 17 December 2024.) Therein, I’d noted that in 30 years as a gun owner, I’d […]
In the ever-evolving world of concealed carry, the Glock 43 has emerged as a top-tier choice, trusted by seasoned firearm enthusiasts and new carriers alike. With its ultra-compact frame, lightweight design, and legendary Glock reliability, the Glock 43 redefines what it means to carry confidently and comfortably every day. Here’s an in-depth look at the […]
If you’re looking for a reliable, budget-friendly concealed carry pistol, the CZ P-10 S makes a strong case for itself, kind of like that one friend who always volunteers to drive but has a car that smells like last week’s Indian food. At an MSRP of just $399, you’re getting a subcompact 9mm with solid […]
