The last eight years saw an unprecedented expansion of gun ownership in America. Some of us already owned a few before the “scare era” of gun buying began. Those who did now own dozen, and those who are new gun owners may have listened to the suggestions of others as to what to buy in […]
Mec-Gar makes their new Optimum magazines for twenty-seven handguns. Using advanced materials and re-designed components covered in new anti-friction coating, Optimum magazines for the Beretta 92 series pistols and the military’s M9 hold 18 rounds of 9mm with a flush fit, and 20 with the optimal base plate. This is the upgrade you need to […]
The Arsenal Firearms AF2011-A1 Dueller Prismatic is an Italian made double barreled, .45 caliber or 38 Super 1911 pistol. The Dueller Prismatic (DP) was the star of the 2015 James Bond film Spectre. The villain Mr. Hinx shoots Bond’s plane leaving two bullet holes. In another starring role, two double 1911s are dual-wielded by Milla […]
Caliber arguments are older than arguments over sports teams so let’s nip that right here with this maxim: a well-placed shot of any caliber is better than a miss with any other caliber.

Rifling and locking faces wear down over time and with Glocks there are plenty of aftermarket options. Glock handguns are loved as much as […]
The Pocket 9mm Despite being around since 2011 not much is seen of the Diamondback DB9. Then again that’s the idea of a pocket gun. At just .80” wide and 4” tall the Diamondback DB9 is only slightly larger than the Ruger LCP. Unlike the LCP the DB9 provides 6+1 capacity of the more powerful, […]
There are many benefits to getting into competition. Whether you’re simply tired of the static range, looking to sharpen your skills, or wanting to test them against others in a safe and legal way, competitive shooting offers a lot. There’s a style and category to fit just about anyone’s budget, interest, and skill level. A […]
Grand Power has been called the best pistol you’ve never heard of. As a fan of their guns that has been raving about them for years I take offense to that. As you’ve seen in our article on the Q100 I have a small collection of Grand Power pistols and that’s for good reason, they’re […]
Turkish variants like the ST9 offer an alternative to more expensive models from Walther, H&K, CZ, and Beretta
