The U.S. Air Force has followed the Army in adopting the SIG M18 handgun, based upon SIG’s very popular P320 modular handgun system. And now, the USAF has begun issuing the new handgun to some of its personnel. Here’s the news, directly from the U.S. Air Force website: JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas (AFNS) — […]
Back about a million years ago, after graduating college, I decided I needed a handgun. At the same time, I didn’t even know what I didn’t know about guns and shooting. However, I had seen Lethal Weapon and I liked the gun Riggs carried: the Beretta 92. I especially liked the Christmas tree scene early […]
Opinions seem sharply divided on the Beretta 92. People either love them or they don’t. My Beretta 92FS, for many years now, has been my go-to pistol. While not necessarily the most accurate pistol I own, it has always been 100% reliable. The Beretta M9A3 is a modernized version of the battle-proven Beretta M9, which […]
This is what a South African blogger carries in what he calls “low risk areas.” From what we read, those are getting fewer and father between. Stay safe down there.
Tyler calls these his high quality tactical friends. Neither the Wilson Combat Beretta 92 or the Olamic knife is inexpensive, but both are exceptional tools. Worth every penny to someone who appreciates and can afford them. What’s your favorite EDC item?
Carrying a big Beretta 92 isn’t for everyone. But as Craig A Wildfeuer Jr tells it, he’s come back to where it all began for him . . . Sometimes, you just end up going back to where it all started for you. My first carry pistol was a Beretta 92F. After carrying and using an M9 […]
I don’t like the way this gun looks. I don’t like the way this gun feels. But man, I sure do like the way the Beretta PX-4 Storm shoots. Like a lot of folks, and every single action movie ever, I dig the Beretta 92 series. And like every soldier, I hated it when it […]
Grips make the man, or so I’ve been told. It’s probably why none of my guns sport stock grips. If they’re replaceable I end up switching them them out for something better. If they’re nonexistent because the frame is polymer, I end up stippling them. To this day, I’ve never been completely satisfied with most stock […]
The distance between the go-pedal and the backstrap on a 92 series handgun is approximately three inches. For some people it might as well be a mile. Small-handed shooters have always had a problem effectively grasping the Beretta 92’s trigger (as well as Big Gulps, footballs, etc.). Most can only shoot the gun effectively in single action (SA) mode. My […]
I grew up watching John McClane and Martin Riggs with wide-eyed adoration. So I’ve always known that a Beretta 92 and I were meant to be. But close encounters of the ergonomic and ballistic kind proved a let down; I really didn’t dig the pistol in its stock form. Back in March, 1911-makers Wilson Combat announced they were producing aftermarket parts for the […]
I’m a sucker for mindless action films. You put enough bullets and bombs into a ninety-minute spectacle and I’m more than happy to waste my time watching the fireballs. I won’t rake the director over the coals for a few plot holes or some stale characters as long as they substitute ass kicking and violence […]
