Grand Power is one of those, “Why do I not already own one of these?” companies that has been long known for their excellent triggers. Well-known may be relative because generally the American public has been unable to find or see one of these elusive pieces of European engineering. Produced with incredible refinement and manufacturing […]
Influenced by YouTube’s TheFireArmGuy we decided to start giving Kahr pistols a try. They’re an American-made option that seems to have all the right features for an affordable carry gun. Slim, low profile, economical, and simplified, the Kahr pistols fall into that single-stack build that makes for something comfortable, light, and efficient. In my experience […]
There are many methods both taught and self-taught for holding a handgun. Here 15-year Army veteran, former 3-Gun Competitor, and NRA Certified Instructor Graham Baates shows us his simple method. Graham Baates is a 15-year Army veteran with a range of firearms experience stemming from combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, two years in the […]
Walther recently answered those looking for a sub-compact PPQ with the PPQ SC. If you missed our original coverage of this gun see the tabletop review here. The PPQ is an evolution of the P99 which proved unfortunately misunderstood by most of the American public. An update to styling, American-friendly button magazine release, and simplified […]
Just Because a Gun is in a Magazine Doesn’t Mean it’s the Right One For You I like to cover a lot of guns that aren’t seen in grocery-store magazines, and for a couple of reasons. First, common guns bore me. If I can go to three gun shops and see the same firearm at the […]
The 10mm round has some lore to it and a lot of that has been earned. The load we tested from Armscor throws a 180gr bullet over 1,000fps to yield over 400ft-lbs of energy. If you’re not into math that’s more than a .45acp and about an extra third more than standard 9mm. The 10mm […]
I was fortunate enough to be part of a small batch invited to try out the Arex handgun at SHOT show in January 2016. What I saw reminded me a bit of the Zastava handguns in that it was heavily based on the SIG 226/229 design, but unlike the SIG handguns some improvements had been […]
The secret is out, shooters are looking for new challenges and more fun at the range. The challenge remains however in finding the right gun. 1873 Colt-styled Single-Action Army revolvers are loads of fun. Booming out 200-255 grain projectiles with the squeeze of a crisp trigger after the musical clicks of cocking the hammer. Traditions […]
After the announcement and fall out of the Army’s Modular Handgun Competition we’ve been distracted by all the headlines. From the new products that flew under the radar like the FN 509 to Glock’s incredible ability to not change much but call it new gun news has been busy since January’s announcement. Meanwhile, in the […]
American Tactical M1911 Military The 1911 market is awash with options which can make it easy both to find exactly what you’re looking for and easy to get lost trying to pick one. In March we saw Inland’s 1911 A1 Government which offered all the looks of a G.I. style 1911, roll marks included. […]
