The SIG SAUER P226 Platinum Elite 9mm is a lovely pistol and it shoots like a champ. It’s one of my favorite full size 9mms. This Platinum Elite model will set you bet a few extra pennies, but the additional coin buys some good features. One that I most appreciate is the Short Resetting Trigger […]
Remember this SHOT Show 2012 gem? I finally got a hold of a SIG P224 in .357 SIG for review, and I am delighted to see what it can do. You’ve seen the review on the P226, right? (If not, check it out!) Well, the P229 is essentially a scaled down, compact version of the […]
The scene is Las Vegas, NV. The event is my first first SHOT Show experience. I, a shy female shooter, only newly introduced to the wide, and varied firearms culture outside of my own upbringing, was absolutely agape. Nothing could have prepared me for the sea of humanity surrounding thousands of islands of every piece […]
One of my favorite pistols is the M57 – namely because the 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridge is so much fun to shoot! Just look at that muzzle flash. Have you tried one?
Remember all of the hullabaloo when the first 3D printed firearm lower was produced? And then the first full 3D printed gun? 3D printed firearms have taken their next step. Solid Concepts, Inc. has produced the first fully functional metal 3D printed gun. https://youtu.be/R2L3QP5qVgo The video featured above shows part of the  test firing for […]
The Kahr CM9 may be a little 9mm, but it’ll get the job done. I’ve found pistols like this to be easily concealed, but snappy shooters. What’s your take on the slim stack polymer nines, like the Kahr CM9, that seem to be flooding the concealed carry market these days?
It’s easy for those of us who like 1911s to “need” more than one. If you’re looking to step up in 1911 performance at the range without breaking the bank on a few thousand dollars worth of custom race gun, the Springfield Armory 1911 Range Officer might be right up your alley. This article will […]
I recently picked up a new range toy, a Ruger 22/45 Lite (expect a review coming soon). Naturally, that meant I needed a whole lot of .22 LR to put through it. Fortunately, I was able to dredge up enough magic to put a thousand rounds through the pistol. I had to capture photo evidence of […]
Happy Friday, friends! If you didn’t catch it, I posted my complete review of the SIG P224 subcompact in .357 SIG yesterday. I’d have to say, that .357 SIG round barks with authority, but the P224 isn’t out of control. I’m happy I finally got the chance to heat it up at the range. This […]
I may or may not be getting my hands on a Desert Eagle .50 AE pistol in the near future. Those who know my penchant for large caliber handguns may be unsurprised to learn of my unbridled enthusiasm for this particular “range toy.” I’ll be very interested to see how it compares to my beloved S&W Model […]
