• First Shots- Glock 44X Nelson Manufacturing Optic Cut Slide

    When I heard about the Nelson Manufacturing aluminum X slides for the .22LR Glock 44, I immediately ordered one. I did not get any consideration from Nelson Precision Manufacturing, other than great service. I ordered the OEM style slide. OEM Style Slide for G44 | Nelson Precision MFG I was one day late for the

  • Single Action Satisfaction

    A single action revolver was very likely the first center fire handgun I ever shot. I remember going out to the pasture with my Dad and a neighbor where I shot two handguns. One was a BYF44 P38 that my Dad’s father brought back from WWII and the other was my Dad’s JP Sauer &

  • Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact

    When the 5″ barreled S&W M&P (semi-auto variety…I wasn’t around for the K-Frame intro) first came out, I was excited.

The 1911 trigger is better. Does any of that matter? Will they both shoot the same, or wildly different? I am curious as

  • Kel-Tec P32

    If you cannot carry a gun, then this is not a bad option. I have had one of these clipped in the top of my sock, the top of my underwear, and in my wallet on a few occasions. These are Rule One guns. Always have a gun. I don’t regard them as a real

  • Springfield TRP AOS 9mm

    My wife made me do it. While I have had to turn to the dark side and embrace polymer pistols to set a good example at work, she has remained staunchly in the 1911 camp. She has moved to 9mm with an STI Duty One Lightweight, which is far easier on her wrists and hands
