There’s a lot to consider with any new handgun purchase. So many advancements in design and now-standard features have given everyone an encyclopedia’s worth of options to sift through. But now there’s a lineup of pistols that’s risen to the top thanks to an intelligent combination of all the things you want in a handgun, […]
How do you design the ideal concealed carry gun? FN took the initial idea of their popular 509 handgun and turned it into one of the best options for a concealed carry gun you’ll find on the market. The result is the 509 Midsize, and we’re going to highlight exactly what it is that sets […]
Kimber is a company best known for its 1911-format pistols, both large and small. So when I heard they were dipping their toe [back] into the striker-fired sub-compact world, I admit to having some reservations. After all, the Kimber Solo didn’t exactly earn a good reputation, going from shiny new object of affection to discredited, unreliable […]
Thanks to a recent New York Times article, People Kill People. But the Bullets Seem to Matter, it appears that the Gray Lady has finally settled the age-old, never-ending argument over the best handgun caliber for self-defense. Oh, who am I kidding? The Times randomly looked at an academic study and pieced together an anti-gun article and an […]
Quick pocket dump rundown: GLOCK 43, Leatherman multi-tool, Leatherman Tread, and a spare mag. But what interests me is that Infidel patch and the fact that this gun owner lists his home state as Illinois. Illinois has some – okay, a lot – of issues when it comes to gun rights. From new state licensing […]
This pocket dump includes a VP9 and a Dango Tactical Wallet. There’s also a pocket organizer containing an assortment of ink pens and an Atomic Bear Tactical Pen. You might also notice there’s a spare mag…in the pocket organizer. If your spare mag is stored in a zippered organizer, how fast do you think you […]
I have to say this seems like a far more realistic carry than a lot of what we see. A GLOCK 43 with a spare mag in a Kydex holster with a good folding blade are a nice choice. If it were me I would replace the folder with a fixed-blade knife, possibly a mini […]
This GLOCK 19 has All the Aftermarkets on it…well, at least it has a red dot and light. The red dot is a Trijicon RMR which is, I must say, an awesome red dot. It’s well-made and the clarity is fantastic. The WML is a Streamlight which is another company I’ve had a lot of […]
When you see a 9mm GLOCK in a pocket dump it’s usually a GLOCK 19. Sometimes a GLOCK 17. A “compact crossover” G45 is more unusual, but that’s what we have here. There are differences in size between the G17 and the G45 (although they’re not extreme). For example, the G17 has an overall length […]
Stoeger, a name long associated with the importation of well-made and affordable guns, is bringing over to this side of the pond a new striker-fired pistol, the STR-9. What sets it apart, in my opinion, was the trigger when I tried it. Also the price point. The basic package is $299, you get three mags […]
Marc lists his occupation as detention officer and says this is his hockey season carry. His gun of choice is a Springfield XD-S, a highly concealable 9mm with a 3.3-inch barrel and a 7-round capacity with a flush-fitting magazine. He also has a three-ring binder, an assortment of pens and pencils, and a paracord bracelet. […]
