  • Girsan MC P35 Ops & Springfield TRP AOS

    I thought it would be interesting to compare side by side performance between these two optic equipped and light-railed guns. While the 1911 feels good in the hand, the P35 feels better. 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

  • Glock 48 MOS with Rapid Engineering Backstrap

    The Glock 48 was something I was very excited about when it came out. At the time, I had swung back to carrying appendix inside the waistband and I found that it did not conceal any better for me than my Glock 19. Now, I am back to carrying inside the waistband at about 2:30

  • Ruger LCR .38

    I have carried a J-frame for closing on 30 years. My 642 was the gun for the majority of it but I switched over to a 340 M&P and then the 442 UC because the sights were superior. Previously I had depended on the Crimson Trace Laser Grips for low light shooting with the 642

  • S&W 25-13 Mountain Gun .45 Colt

    The N-Frame S&W is one of those guns that I cannot seem to live without. I once owned several and decided they were something I didn’t need. It seems that I was incorrect, because I needed this one. The big guns feel good in my hands and the ones I prefer have big, jug-sized charge
