When Walther released the original CCP it was met with much anticipation. Straight blowback 9mm is too much to handle, but Walther’s piston system known as “softcoil” offered to reduce recoil below standard Browning systems. The “softcoil” also applied to the recoil spring which didn’t need to be as heavy and so the gun is […]

MagGuts: The True +1 for your Handgun
MagGuts has changed the meaning of “+1” for carry guns. Typically when someone refers to +1 capacity they are referencing an additional round in the chamber. A full magazine is inserted and presto! You’ve just increased your capacity. Modern single-stacks like the Walther PPS M2 have options of six, seven, or eight-round magazines. The longer […]
Watch: Walther Q4 TAC First Look
It’s not secret that I’m a fan of Walther firearms. Ever since I first picked up the P99AS I felt like Walther had somehow taken a mold of my hand. The ergonomics are incredible. Personally, I wish the paddle magazine releases would return, but I understand that Americans like buttons. The PPS M2 is one […]
Improve Your Shooting: Mastery Through Adaptability
It seems that people don’t understand that the only thing they need for complete adaptability to any platform is a steady trigger pull without disturbing their sight picture.

The sizes of both pistols are similar in dimension (the Walther PPX measures 7.3in long, 5.6in tall, and 1.3in wide compared to the PPQ’s 7.1in long by 5.3in tall, […]
WATCH Holster Selection: Considerations for Concealed Carry
During my 1,900 hours as a defensive shooting instructor one of the dominating questions I was asked was about holster selection. In my experience this is the hardest one to answer. I have good news and bad new for you: The perfect holster match for your body shape, selected firearm, carry position, and attire exists. […]
Canik TP9 DA Shots Fired~ VIDEO
Century Arms has certainly kept us busy with the TP9 line of handguns. These guns are made by respected Canik and borrow in design from Walther. Like the CZ-inspired designs imported by TriStar Arms, Canik’s TP9 series carefully features just enough differences to keep them from being a complete clone. While some may scoff this […]
Raw Dog Tactical Holsters: As if There’s Nothing There
The holster market is a busy one. There are the name-brand giants with imported, Chinese made plastic for cheap, your friend down the road who does kydex in his garage, and ultra-premium options that cost enough to mean you won’t be hitting the range anytime soon. Somewhere out there is a Goldilocks brand. If you’ve […]
