Massad Ayoob Tests the GLOCK 42 .380 ACP Compact Handgun

Massad Ayoob Tests the GLOCK 42 .380 ACP Compact Handgun

(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 […]

Massad Ayoob: Why the GLOCK 19 Is Great For Beginners, Pros

Massad Ayoob: Why the GLOCK 19 Is Great For Beginners, Pros

(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 […]

THE GLOCK PISTOL AS C-PDW: AN EXAMPLE

THE GLOCK PISTOL AS C-PDW: AN EXAMPLE

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 […]

ROCK ISLAND TCM TARGET FS HC 22TCM/9MM PISTOL REVIEW

ROCK ISLAND TCM TARGET FS HC 22TCM/9MM PISTOL REVIEW

Rock Island’s TCM series of affordable yet high quality 1911’s are unique because they are all combination pistols.  They shoot the ubiquitous 9mm round but also the new and exotic 22 TCM.  22 TCM has the potential of being the first real self-defense .22 round.  My last review of Rock Island’s unique entry into the […]

LASER AMMO ATLP REVIEW

LASER AMMO ATLP REVIEW

If you are an instructor or serious shooter you absolutely need a laser training pistol.  There are varieties out there and they are a fantastic tool to help beginners and exponentially increase the value of dry firing for the experienced shooter.  Laser Ammo graciously sent me their Advanced Training Laser Pistol (ATLP).  I was lucky […]

TFB REVIEW: KRISS Vector in 10mm!

TFB REVIEW: KRISS Vector in 10mm!

(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. By now, if you haven’t shot a KRISS, know someone who owns one or at least handled one in a gun store, it’s safe to say you’ve been […]

IS THE 1911 OBSOLETE?

IS THE 1911 OBSOLETE?

(Article originally published on Spotter Up) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpTS8DJZ5vY Intro I want to start this off by saying I have shot a lot of 1911s but have never been in love with them. I can see why many carry and love them, but they have never filled my needs. Now in my experience there are bad and […]

Shooting the Bond handguns in Switzerland

Shooting the Bond handguns in Switzerland

(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 […]

The Bond Walthers

The Bond Walthers

(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. Everyone has their favourites, be it iconic, practical, real or looks alone. In this brief article, I will compare the different Walthers (apart from the P5) that Bond […]

FRANK PROCTOR’S WAY OF THE GUN CUSTOM SLIDE WORK FOR M&P

(Article originally published on Spotter Up) As a competitive shooter, concealed carry advocate and gun enthusiast I try to pay attention to what the pros are doing; what gear they are running and how they run it. One of my favorite guys to watch and listen to teach is Frank Proctor who owns Way Of […]
