Ever since I first fired the Beretta PX4 in 9mm, I was amazed by the pistol. This pistol is amazingly easy to shoot and apparently is that way will all calibers. Now Beretta claims that the rotating barrel design is the cause of this. It is said that recoil is transferred to the sides instead […]

Recoil Springs And How They Work
For many, a recoil spring is the primary component in mitigating the felt recoil and muzzle flip. This is true for the most part today. But I think alot of people forget the other functions of the recoil spring and how important it is to have a well engineered spring system, not only for lower […]
CZ 82 – the Milsurp 007 Would Love
James Bond likes the CZ 82. Okay, so Bond’s signature firearm was a Walther PPK, and not the CZ, but at my first sight of the Czech military pistol, I couldn’t help but to recall the hero’s famous blued compact.

Walther Creed: A Walther For Less
The Walther Creed at first glance looks to be an oversized PPQ. But when you see the price tag, you may find the urge to get one. I got my Creed for a mere $344 at my local gun shop. I had to have it special ordered since it is still just now getting out […]
H&K USP9 V1 Review: Durability Comes Standard
Due to the current popularity of concealment style pistols, the H&K USP design in general gets put on the sidelines. Though it is not the smallest or most comfortable pistol design on the market today, it still holds its own when you are looking for a pistol design that will serve you well for years […]
Used Gun Controversy: Diminishing Values
When people go off to sell their precious used gun, most of the time it seems like they are convinced that they should get back what they paid to begin with. The problem with that is simply that no one is going to pay full price for anything that has been used. Even some gun […]
Beretta PX4 Storm: Understanding The Design
The Beretta PX4 Storm is said to be the culmination of all the lessons learned by Beretta in producing pistols for militaries and Law Enforcement agencies around the globe.
