When I was out at my friend and former SEAL platoon mate Mike Ritland’s ranch just outside of Dallas he showed me his concealed carry of choice. I haven’t had a chance to fire this bad boy but Mike said it’s a great little gun and he carries it everywhere. You have to love Texas […]
A new 1911 in the inventory, I’m jealous of these MARSOC guys! -Jack Colt Defense LLC has been awarded an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity contract by the U.S. Marine Corps for up to 12,000 M45 Close Quarter Battle Pistols (CQBP), plus spares and logistical support. The new CQBP is a direct descendant of the iconic Colt M1911 adopted […]
I initially chose to carry the heavier MK23 SOCOM by HK because of a rash of bad SIG magazines. I think the MK25 is a great pistol even though it’s a monster compared to the 226. I eventually learned to love the SIG line and glad we (the SEALs) put the Beretta out to pasture […]
First let me say that I’m a HUGE Glock fan. I carried the 17 when I worked for a certain three letter group in Iraq and have fired thousands of rounds through it without a hitch. When I was looking to have something a little more concealable (I don’t like Glock’s small carry options) I […]
Lately, the market has exploded with compact, lightweight (polymer) pistol options. Considering that this reviewer has a small frame, some of these highly concealable handguns have more appeal than others. With this in mind, some range time was in order to compare three of the most popular polymer framed 9mm pistols in the CCW field: […]
So, you read my thoughts on the 1911, and you know that this pistol can be a serious contender, but the gun takes some knowledge and work. To recap, in the words of Larry Vickers: if you treat your gun like you treat your lawn mower, then you probably should stick with a Glock, HK, […]
The single most important factor in precision shooting is consistency. The best way to develop consistency is repetition. If you don’t own an indoor range or live in the desert, how are you going to get your repetition? How can you shoot every day? The answer is the Next Level Training Shot Indicating Resetting Trigger […]
What can I say? Sometimes I wish I didn’t live in CA….. Off the FN website. The FN Five-seveN® single-action autoloading pistol fires the low-recoil 5.7x28mm cartridge making it ideal for personal protection, target shooting or NRA Tactical Police Competition. It features a textured, ergonomic polymer frame with checkered panels for enhanced grip. The polymer […]
Well, I’m still waiting to pick up my G19 (my TS clearance was easier than buying a gun in CA) so had to shoot my friend Mark’s G34. This is a beautiful gun. I thought you guys would appreciate a little range time action…. Brandon %EMBED3%
This is a great informative video on the FNS-9 pistol. -Jack ‘%EMBED1%’
