It’s kind of like a story from a children’s book. The story of Goldilocks and the Nomad 9 The Nomad 9, a Glock 19 Gen4 compatible frame, has been created to make everything “just right” about the G19 frame. They have fixed what most of us thought was wrong with the Glock frame. Nomad Defense […]
GENESEO, ILL. (11/15/18) – Springfield Armory’s brand new SAINT Edge Pistol combines the most popular features of the most premium SAINT in the lineup with the compact shootability of a pistol platform. With the same features that make the SAINT Edge a premium rifle, the SAINT Edge Pistol in 5.56 allows for maximum portability and ease […]
Are we at the point where you can say things about Glock without a legion of fanboys coming after you? This article won’t be me crapping on Glocks, and I’ll fully say Glocks are great guns. They are reliable, have decent triggers, and they are used around the world for a reason. Are they the […]
The Gray man as a concept is simple to understand. It’s someone who is trying to keep an incredibly low profile, to avoid drawing attention to themselves. Throughout a normal day, a normal person doesn’t worry about this, but if you are planning to do something dangerous then its best not to be noticed. A […]
The readers of the site should have already figured out long ago that the writers here on the site like our guns. I’ll be the first one to tell you I wasn’t in a traditional combat arms job during my nearly 10-year military career. I didn’t have a career of kicking doors and bringing hate […]
Found this photo In my old files. In 1970 apparently, $100 could get you a Hell of a gun and have money for a meal. It’s one of my prized possessions; my grandfathers old Smith & Wesson. -Rick Dembroski
Is there a trade-off between tightly fit “precision” and a loss in reliability? We don’t think there has to be. If a gun doesn’t run, it’s usually because something has been built incorrectly, NOT because the gun is “too precise” or “too tightly fit.” In this video, we use our TOR pistol to demostrate that even when […]
If you’ve read any of my articles on handguns, you know I’m a Glock guy. My first experience with the iconic 1911 came from Rock Island Armory and it’s not chambered in the original .45ACP. I own an FNX Tactical and wasn’t interested in another .45 caliber handgun. I wanted something a little different. And […]
As a purveyor of gun-things-different the Caracal pistol had my attention. What I didn’t know was that the Caracal Model F had actually been in development since 2002, and had already made a brief appearance in the United States while I was over in Afghanistan (2005). The original model had to make a hasty retreat […]
The Llama MicroMax is a 1911ish pistol scaled down for a different Bronwing cartidge, the .380acp. We first took a look at this compact firearms in an earlier article. Like most guns chambered in .380acp the Micromax is blowback-operated which requires a careful balance of slide weight, spring rate, and calculation of the expected energy […]
