Some time back I wrote an article about the Caracal Enhanced F, a 9mm pistol that was turning heads with its strength and reliability.

The good thing about being a writer is I get to be picky about what I publish and cover. My typical rule for things like SHOT Show is Marine owned companies first, then veteran-owned, and then Florida based companies. As a Floridian myself, I tend to identify with companies that bring business to my state. Sol […]
