The Glock pistol was described by Col. Jeff Cooper as “a pistol for the masses”. The reasons are simple; it was often reliable out of the box, was lightweight, simple to operate, held plenty of cartridges, and was cheap to manufacture, and to buy. The Glock pistol has been with us for 30+ years now, […]
The Nagant 1895 revolver (as seen in the movie Enemy of the Gates and Sherlock Holmes) is a peculiar weapon that caught my interest at the start of my Guntubing career. At the time these handguns looked brand new and were advertised for about 100 US dollars and I felt I could not afford to […]
When Hyatt Guns recently gave me the opportunity to take their brand new Glock 42 to the range to put her through her paces, I gladly accepted. Local shooting instructor, Sam Cranston and I met at an outdoor range near Charlotte, NC. My range bag was equipped with 90gr PMC Bronze, 95gr Winchester PDX1 Defender, […]

It’s easy to look at my posts and see and think I favor veteran owned products, especially Marine projects.Well that is completely true, but I also favor local companies. VZ Grips out of Tallahassee is just a stone’s throw away from where I live and breath. I’m familiar with VZ, especially their CZ 75 grips, […]
Have you ever spent 4 days walking with 2 guys who love MP5s? Well, I did recently and let me tell you all you here is how every gun should use MP5 mags. Now I realize how I must be when I’m always talking about the 10mm Automatic. I’m joking of course, but our editor […]
Hexmag is one of many up and coming magazine manufacturers in the United States. They produce very nice AR magazines for the market, as well as follower conversion kits for caliber identification. They are easy to maintain, have a good aggressive texture for retention, and are built to withstand alot of abuse. None of their […]
The big news on the eve of the end of Shot show was the SIG P320 was chosen as the winner of the Army’s MHS competition and will be the next M17 pistol. I couldn’t be happier for Sig, the folks at their booth were pretty pumped about it this morning at Shot Show 2017. […]
