Ranger Proof is a bold statement. It’s even more bold to name a company Ranger Proof. The company has set some high standards for itself as one should expect with such a name, “Our mission is simple. We will provide the absolute best gear, made with the best components at the most fair price we […]

Testing the automatic Glock 18 for the CIA
The Glock has long been a favorite pistol brand of mine. I carried the Glock 17 and 19 in the CIA. While I was in South America, the agency asked me to test fire the Glock 18 to determine its suitability for our operating environment. For those who don’t know, the Glock 18 and Glock 17 […]
Bersa: Over One Million Strong
With over one million Bersa handguns sold in the United States we decided it was time to take a look at their classic, the Thunder 380. Bersa: Over One Million Strong.

Glock 27: A solid choice for concealed-carry
I really do hate .40S&W; it’s really snappy and torques the wrist, doesn’t really do anything ballistics wise that a 9mm can’t, and it’s prone to malfunctions, primarily in Glocks.

Once upon a time magwells were only found on 1911’s or other highly tuned competition pistols.

.40 S&W Cartridge: Ideal Cartridge for Personal Defense?
The .40 S&W cartridge has been called the “ideal cartridge for personal defense and law enforcement.” The .40 S&W was specifically developed to duplicate performance of the FBI’s reduced-velocity 10mm cartridge and fit into medium-frame (9mm size) automatic handguns. It debuted January 17, 1990, along with the new Smith and Wesson 4006 pistol. Ironically, the […]
