There is what you want, what you have, and what you think you need. Ever wonder why there are so many makes and models of cars? After all these years one would think that the ideal car, truck, van, etc would have already been designed. It’s easy to laugh at such a thought when thinking […]

And Now For Something…Completely Different 45 Colt
The last eight years saw an unprecedented expansion of gun ownership in America. Some of us already owned a few before the “scare era” of gun buying began. Those who did now own dozen, and those who are new gun owners may have listened to the suggestions of others as to what to buy in […]
We Hate The Beretta M9, But Why?
Anyone who has been into guns knows that Beretta is a big name in the gun world. They have been making things that go “bang” (some would argue “click”) for about 500 years. They are THE oldest gun makers in the world today. But let’s skip ahead so you don’t fall asleep. In the 80s […]

Arex’s rexZero1 Handgun: Select Single or Double Action

Since that time the company has had many ups and downs but remained as American as apple pie. Though the 9x19mm cartridge may not be native […]
