For those who are fans of the Glock, or are looking for a reliable pocket pistol, little recoil (compared to the 9mm), have small hands, etc., you may want to give the new Glock 42 a look. Despite its petite size, some may find it slightly bulkier than other .380 such as the Khar P380. […]
SIG Sauer has been a big contributor to the Special Operations Community, especially within the SEAL community. They have made a few upgrades to some of their pistols, mainly cosmetics, but nothing really, “new”. Well that was until 2014. What I really enjoy about the SIG P320, is its trigger. The striker fired trigger has […]
I hear a lot from 1911 fans that it is the best pistol to own, it’s a one shot caliber for a pistol, etc., but I’ve never heard any pistol shooter/owner wishing they could get their hands on a double-barrelled pistol. Well now you will have that opportunity. I first came across this pistol at […]
I’ve had some emails, personal messages, and comments from people who follow my YouTube channel requesting me to take a look at the Ruger SR9C, and have asked me how it stacks up against the Glock 19. I hadn’t put many rounds through either, so I decided that meant it was time to hit the […]
Like many shooters, I started with a .22. My dad taught me the fundamentals of sight picture, grip, trigger control, breathing, mindset, and stance, with a Ruger Mark III Target. As soon as I was familiar with the basics of shooting, I moved up to shooting his Springfield M1911 A1 Loaded. That’s when my love […]
Springfield Armory’s new XD-S is a bad ass carry gun in a sleek, small package. The XD-S packs 6 rounds of .45ACP into a 21.5 oz firearm. With dimensions smaller than the Kahr CW45, Glock 36, Kimber Ultra Carry 1911s, and Para Carry Safe 1911s, it is currently the most miniscule .45 on the conceal […]
From May 2012 “FYI/SA – A Lordsburg BPA (Border Patrol Agent) fell off his ATV while in training today. The fall was precipitous and required a short visit to the hospital. There was some collateral damage, the BPA’s P2000 handgun. It is believed that his CSB, given the location behind the gun, may have created […]
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 […]
