Many people regard Heckler and Koch as one of the best firearms manufacturers in the world. Their rifles and pistols have earned a reputation for being reliable and sturdy under the harshest of conditions, and have been for longer than even Gaston’s Miracle Pistol. A favorite of the US Navy and law enforcement around the […]
(Article originally published on Tactical Life by Massad Ayoob) When it comes to LEO duty pistols, Glock is a trusted and proven brand. And, with the introduction of the .380 Glock 42, cops have a great deep-cover or backup gun option that works just like their primary duty gun. The subcompact Glock 42 in .380 […]
(Article originally published on Tactical Life by Massad Ayoob) The various militaries throughout the world probably buy the full-size 9×19 GLOCK 17 service pistols for their fighting men and women than they do any other GLOCK. In the United States, where the GLOCK is by far the most popular brand of police duty handgun, the […]
There has recently been a fair amount of interest in some parts of the gun-world population about what I call the Civilian Personal Defense Weapon, C-PDW for short. In the chapter titled “Short Rifles and Long Pistols: The Quest for the ‘Civilian’ PDW” in Volume Four of my book series “Gunfighting, and Other Thoughts about […]

(Article originally published on The Firearm Blog) It’s hard to believe that more than a decade has past since the development and release of the original KRISS Vector.

I can see why many carry and love them, but they have never filled my needs. Now in my experience there are bad and […]
(Article originally published on Bond Lifestyle) On my way to the Goldfinger Reloaded event in Andermatt, I first make a two day stop in Zürich for an underground mission. Upon arrival in this largest city of Switzerland I meet with a friend who is best described as the Swiss ‘Tiger Tanaka’, since he is the […]
(Article originally published on Bond Lifestyle) The subject of Bonds personal firearms has in the past become a heated debate, much akin to the ongoing Omega/Rolex debacle.
