There exists a continuing debate about the effectiveness of the .380 ACP cartridge in self defense scenarios. Because I possess, and exercise, my concealed carry permit, I’ve also put a great deal of thought into the caliber of pistol I choose for CCW. My limitations to what I can effectively carry vary depending on my […]
In the arena of handguns, no gun enjoys as great of a mystique or quite so strong a passion as John Moses Browning’s M1911. Truly, this pistol is one of the first mass-produced handgun styles that brought the idea of field maintenance and shootability to the end user in quite this way. Previous examples of […]
Bersa is perhaps best-known for their Thunder 380 series. What hasn’t been so-well known in the US is their other offerings in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. The single-stack BP9CC is one of my personal carry guns, though the trigger is so superb I recommend it only for the well-trained. At SHOT show 2018 Bersa […]
The Marine Corps is going to buy 35,000 M18 Modular Handgun Systems under the Army contract with Sig Sauer at a cost of approximately $180 per gun. The Modular Handgun System will replace the Marine’s curremt M-9, M-9A1, M-45A1, and M-007 pistols. The MHS provides improvements in modularity and shooter ergonomics to allow for efficient […]
Influenced by YouTube’s TheFireArmGuy we decided to start giving Kahr pistols a try. They’re an American-made option that seems to have all the right features for an affordable carry gun. Slim, low profile, economical, and simplified, the Kahr pistols fall into that single-stack build that makes for something comfortable, light, and efficient. In my experience […]
The Glock automatic pistols are well known for their reliability, ease of disassembly and ease of use. They are simple, Spartan weapons that do their job. You pull the trigger and the gun goes bang. While overall they are great guns they don’t do anything exceptionally well. The sights aren’t great, the trigger is meh, […]
Grand Power is one of those, “Why do I not already own one of these?” companies that has been long known for their excellent triggers. Well-known may be relative because generally the American public has been unable to find or see one of these elusive pieces of European engineering. Produced with incredible refinement and manufacturing […]
Inland Manufacturing, LLC offers three special US Army Commemorative models of the iconic 1911A1 pistol. Inland’s 1911A1 commemorative pistols are the Government Model pistol, chambered in .45 ACP. The 1911A1 is patterned after the original 1911 that was designed over 100 years ago, modified in 1924 and designated the Model 1911A1. The Inland 1911A1 Government […]
You may not have ever heard of Sarsilmaz, but chances are you’ve already benefited from their manufacturing. They are the largest private arms manufacturer in Turkey and make everything from handguns to aircraft parts for Boeing. That’s right, Sarsilmaz is a private company so before you get excited about making comments think. If you […]
The Sig P320 is an amazing pistol in my opinion and that’s all that matters so that’s the end of the review. Just kidding, but we’re going to go in depth on this pistol. The P320 quickly has become my everyday pistol, my fighting pistol and my nightstand pistol. I’m a 1911 guy so I […]
