Comps and ports have become all the rage, again. They came into competition in the 80s, appeared on magnum handguns in the 90’s, then showed up again with the “Roland Special”. Every 10-15 years we get to revisit the issue with new technologies. Now, they are back in a better form factor with factory offerings…
This Springfield TRP was one my father bought and I immediately thought of the Nighthawk slide I had lying around with a Trijicon SRO on it. The combinations of barrel and bushing I had tried it with before resulted in 3-4 inch groups. I wondered if the TRP barrel and bushing would drop in and…

A plastic gun with a traditional grip angle was my hope for the future as I knew that my transition away from 1911s was imminent. I was sorely disappointed. I blamed the unfamiliar trigger and…
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…
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…
