The Steyr M9 has been around for years, but has gone unnoticed for the most part. They are only recently getting serious recognition in this country. I heard about them not too long ago and was interested to know more about the Steyr brand of pistols. Surely it couldn’t have been anything special since I […]
The Beretta Nano, or the BU9 (Beretta USA 9mm) Nano, is certainly a mysterious and heavily avoided pistol for reasons I don’t understand after owning it. But lets talk about how all of this started. Beretta has been around for about 5 centuries. They have been building quality guns for the military and the civilian enthusiast since its start in […]
The PTR91 GI Model is a true Battle Rifle in every bit of the definition. It is durable, it has little recoil, it has great accuracy at range, and it is even modular. PTR really makes a winner with this model. This rifle has a long history before PTR got their hands on the blueprints and started […]
Today we accessorize long guns with lights, lasers, variable magnification optics and slings. While some of these things may be unnecessary, I feel like the sling is the most important. With all the things that it helps a shooter to accomplish, you can’t go without a sling. When in serious use in a fight, you […]
One of the easy upgrades for Generation 3 Glocks is to replace the plastic guide rod with something heavier like steel. The heavy guide rod shifts the center of balance forward reducing muzzle rise. This is especially helpful with .40 caliber guns.
The Walther P99 is a German original that is still running strong in the German police forces after 20 years. The pistol came into being in the early 1990s and still holds it’s own against other big manufacturers. The P99, in my opinion, is a supreme example of high quality German production that will last for […]
What Is A Drill? Drills are a method of repeating something over and over until you can’t screw it up. Courses of fire are timed scenarios that are designed to test our skills and diagnose what we need to work on. If there is one thing that I have learned from my time using guns, professionally or otherwise, […]
Shooting basics must include one handed training. One handed will improve your shooting. In a fight, you may need a hand for something else. Each range session should include one handed drills. Here is a brief discussion on why you should consider integrating one handed shooting into your training pattern. https://youtu.be/xH5D7lzCTWM by David Donchess David […]
These two pistols are icons in the gun community. The Beretta 92FS and the Sig Sauer P226 have served reliably around the world with distinction. We have learned several things about them and handguns in general as far as what it takes to make a reliable pistol that anyone can enjoy or use in a […]
There are many people who dislike bullpup rifles. I not only like them, I find that there are quite a few things they do much better than conventional designs. After running M16 and M4 rifles in combat in the military, I prefer the bullpup. Fighting in tight spaces with one of these rifles was a nightmare, not […]
