Glock Barrels and How to Chose One
The fact remains that most handguns are more accurate than their user. Most off-the-shelf ammo is also too inconsistent to be super accurate. There is however some merit to barrel replacement.

Steyr has been known to me as one of those cult companies. A friend let me shoot his once and then wiped it down and tucked it away. I don’t mean of course that Steyr is a cult, but that those who own Steyrs love them deeply. It’s been my experience that such cults are […]
