Gen 3 Glock triggers break in nicely with 10k plus rounds through them. However many have found that current Gen 4 Glocks have triggers that don’t […]
I like to say I was raised on the Acog due to my time in the Marine Corps. Before that I had fired plenty of guns, but never used a serious optic. Then and now I love the Acog and in a perfect world, I’d toss one on every semi-auto rifle I own. However, this […]
An oversized safety has become an standard addition to most pistols in the last few years so it came as a small surprise when my Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm came with such a small safety. In the last few years of owning the gun I just adapted to the small safety and just sort […]

It all began in 1999, when an independent gunsmith/designer named Jim Tertin, was approached by MRI to manufacture the new large caliber revolver for them. Tertin mastered the base pin design, firing pin, barrels, frame and cylinder, and […]
In a recent article, I mentioned that a G17 fit my needs as a “truck gun” as well as anything else. However, just because I don’t NEED a short AR doesn’t mean I don’t WANT one. AR & AK pistols, as it turns out, are a ton of fun! AR Pistol Those of you that […]
In 2015, when Magnum Research first introduced the new lightweight Desert Eagle L5 in .357 Magnum, it quickly gained widespread appeal, especially among loyal Desert Eagle fans. Now, new for 2017, the Mark XIX L5 is now also offered in .44 Magnum. The new L5 is offered with a 5” barrel, and features a hard-coat […]
