Many of us learned to shoot with rifles and pistols chambered in .22lr. Personally I had nearly forgotten the caliber when ammunition got scarce and I sought bigger booms. Ammunition has returned to shelves and one simple truth remains; .22lr is an excellent training caliber. Walther Arms understand this and offers a 5″ PPQ in […]
Let me introduce you to the Walther PPX 9mm. Today we have a market ruled by high-speed pistols that are slim, small, and have a huge capacity to size ratio. Every now and then we get a gun that is overbuilt for the necessary purposes it serves. This is not a crime, but instead is […]
When Honor Defense released their Honor Guard sub-compact single-stack 9mm handguns a lot of noise was made and attention paid. It was not only a new handgun, but an entirely new manufacturer. The Honor Defense cadre consists of experienced members of the industry. For one reason or another they left their jobs with the big […]
The name Kidon may not mean much to those of us outside of Israel. However, in Hebrew Kidon means bayonet or tip of the spear, and more than that Kidon is a department of the Mossad. Specifically, Kidon is the branch of the Mossad in charge of executions of opponents. It’s one helluva name for […]
Previously we gave you an tabletop look at Smith & Wesson’s new M&P M2.0 Compact in 9mm. The latest offering updates the M&P line not only cosmetically, but also in features. Now it’s time to hit the range and see how the Compact performs. In the video below you’ll see our standard full-mag +1, multi-load […]
A few months ago we brought you the ST9 from Sarsilmaz. This gun is imported by T R Imports and has a lot to offer. See the original article here. Fully ambidextrous, 17+1 rounds of 9mm, and H&K styling make the ST9 an attractive design for those wanting a full-featured gun without the full-featured price […]
The Ruger LC380 offers new shooters, especially newer female shooters, a great option for concealed carry. Many women who purchase a firearm for self defense end up with a snappy little .380. They take it to the range once or twice, and find shooting it so uncomfortable that they never try it again. The Ruger […]
Recently, I had the pleasure of taking the Smith and Wesson Governor to the range. My first impression of this big S&W wheelgun is that it is a ton of fun. The Governor is a multiple caliber handgun. It fires .45 ACP (with moon clips), .45 Colt, and .410 gauge shot shells, so I tried out […]
Today, carrying a small pistol everyday has become a very common thing for people throughout the gun community. We see that having a small but effective gun on our hip frees us from the boundaries of having to be selective with our clothing choices and our overall comfort. Even though there has been a growth […]
When Walther released the original CCP it was met with much anticipation. Straight blowback 9mm is too much to handle, but Walther’s piston system known as “softcoil” offered to reduce recoil below standard Browning systems. The “softcoil” also applied to the recoil spring which didn’t need to be as heavy and so the gun is […]
