The Makarov pistol was Russia’s solution to the need for a modern military sidearm and caliber after World War 2. It was a replacement for the TT33 Tokarev, a pistol that was deemed too large and underpowered for practical use any more; it also lacked a manual safety, something that most military’s desire for a […]
The Glock line of pistols are popular amongst most. The Glock pistol is also hated by some. Nomad Defense holds the solution for the rest of us that have to have the Glock or like the Glock but wants some improvements; The Nomad 9. Same General Complaints Everyone seems to complain about a few of […]
The only thing I trust more than my Glock 19 is this five shot revolver. I grew up shooting my dad’s stainless .357 and I was hooked, so much so I had to get my own. The Smith & Wesson 340 is the ultimate concealed weapon that I would recommend to anyone looking for an easy to […]

The Walther P99 is a German original that is still running strong in the German police forces after 20 years. The pistol came into being in the early 1990s and still holds it’s own against other big manufacturers. The P99, in my opinion, is a supreme example of high-quality German production that will last for decades […]
Not a true Roland because it has an ARC compensator and TLR-1 instead of the original KKM and X300, but there’s something about the way the comp and light match up that I like. Had my TF 300 warrior brother do a cerakote job for me on it. Still a work in progress. I got […]
This is an M1917 my grandpa bought from the CMP in the 50s for $12. It has signal corps markings on the .455 Webley barrel. Somewhere along the way, it got a .45ACP cylinder. Needs moon clips to get proper headspace. Has a very smooth, heavy double action trigger and a single action trigger that puts […]
My custom 1911 that I bought off Gunbroker one night in Dubai on my way back stateside. It was an Ed Brown Special Forces model. Since then, me and my colleagues have made it into MY 1911. Had a contractor buddy mill the slide for front serrations and to remove the engravings, I like a […]
