The Taylor 1911 9mm compact is a simple gun, but an interesting one. I’ve never had an opportunity to handle a 9mm 1911 so I jumped on the opportunity. I wasn’t expecting a lot, I figured it would be a pretty standard GI 1911. I wasn’t too familiar with Taylor’s 1911s and was more familiar with […]
Back in July, most of the bugs were worked out of the Shuty MP-1 by its designer, Derwood. With some help from Warfairy, who customized a lower design for the project, Derwood had redone the upper, improving the ejector in the 9mm pistol that uses Glock magazines and barrels. Here’s the July video, again. But […]
The iTarget Pro system is the third laser target system I’ve had the joy of testing in the last few months. I’m glad to see the rise of better systems for at home, ammo free training. The iTarget Pro system has the distinction of being the most affordable laser training system on the market. The […]

The CZ 122 we recently mentioned here is a bit of a mystery in the United States, as it was never imported here; some were brought to our friends in Canada, but only a few; and the modern rimfire pistol is not available even in Europe now. What happened? We turned to a relatively recent book […]
2017 is turning into an exciting year for the firearm industry Nighthawk Custom, a company that since 2004 has been masterfully pushing the 106 year old John Browning legend to an artistic mechanical pinnacle, is riding that new years wave with their 1911 additions. Let’s have a look. Border Special The Border Special is […]
When you think of World War II German firearms many guns come to mind, heavy machine guns like the MG-40 or MG42, maybe the classic MP40 or the Luger P08, which was a prized war trophy for allied troops. Arguably the most notable German pistol was the Luger P08 but it was a hold over […]
…well, unless you’re Czech. Or Canadian. It’s the CZ 122 Sport. It’s marked with the logo of CZ-UB and appears to owe nothing to the CZ-75. It’s just an attractive, modern .22 target pistol. (Look how low the bore axis is!) A few of these were imported about ten years ago… to Canada. None […]
Short answer — beats us with a stick. And we’ve been studying this for a while. Here is a very preliminary, rough and incomplete hack at the problem in mindmap form. As you can see, there are several ways to look at it: are the guns copies, clones, or inspired? The taxonomy is complex. Even […]
That’s sure what this looks like: Where did it come from? There’s a clue in the pictures, and it’s clearer if you look at this shot of the bare frame… …bare frames…. …rendering… …and print in progress. Yeah, it’s a 3D printed Glock. Cue the media meltdown now. Yes, it does shoot: View […]
