The Star model BM Spanish service pistol was an excellent firearm for its time. The pistol saw service with the Spanish military and police but also was used by the South African Defense Forces and found its way into the Rhodesian bush war. Although it looks strikingly similar to the 1911, the Star BM is […]
While the FMK has not been too popular thanks to a rough launch, the latest version of the 9C1G2 runs. If you’re not familiar with FMK they are a California-based handgun manufacturer. That’s right, California. The company is fighting the good fight by being the only handgun maker in the state. As much as some […]
The list of options for those seeking a good handgun for concealed carry is a long one. Friends suggest one gun, the guy at the gun shop another. Deciding for yourself really is just that: decide for yourself. Hammer or striker fired, external safety or not, single or double action and any combination of those […]
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 […]

The P229 is a classic icon. Sig fans have finally had their dreams come true with the announcement of the much anticipated Legion Series P229 Single Action Only. I carried the 229 Double Action Only as a duty weapon. I would have paid full retail to get an SAO model. The higher grip, reduced profile […]
The Colt 1903 was the predecessor to the famous Colt 1911 that is still in use today in some small capacities. The 1903 was carried primarily by officers but also favored for concealed carry because of its small size and “hammerless” design; something that is not entirely accurate because it does have a hammer contained […]
The 1911 market is awash with options which can make it easy both to find exactly what you’re looking for and easy to get lost trying to pick one. American Tactical M1911 Military stands out from the pack. In March we saw Inland’s 1911 A1 Government which offered all the looks of a G.I. […]
The Polish P-64 is a unique pistol in that it probably draws more inspiration from the Walther PPK than other Eastern Bloc designs but the influence of the Makarov remains obvious — it even uses the Russian 9x18mm round for the military variant. Developed in the late 1950s at Poland‘s Institute for Artillery Research, the P-64 was designed by a team […]
I’ve had the opportunity to try more than the proverbial handful of handguns. Kahr separates themselves from the crowd in a couple of ways. First and foremost they are an American company manufacturing in the USA. The manufacturing process is an impressive one. Barrels start out as a special blend of steel three inches in […]
