It’s no secret that unless there’s a particular reason otherwise, my handgun preference is usually for longer rather than shorter barrel lengths. When I began dabbling a bit with Glocks, I tried a G17, 22 and 26. At that time, I just wasn’t that interested in the full-size “Combat Tupperware” as some call them, but did appreciate the extreme reliability displayed…
A few years ago I bought a SIG-Sauer P220 .45 ACP SAS (SIG Anti-Snag) sporting their proprietary DAK (Double-Action Kellerman) trigger-action. This is without question one of the lightest and smoothest actions I’ve tried on any double-action handgun, be it semiautomatic or revolver and measures just under 8-lbs. For those interested in my initial range report with…
Federal’s Hydrashok line of JHP handgun ammunition remains a favorite of many shooters since its introduction in the late 1980’s. It is available in several popular calibers including .45 ACP. In this caliber, Federal offered both 165-gr. and 230-gr. Hydrashok loads. On the left is an older version of the 230-gr. Hydrashok in .45 ACP.…
Hello. Eight years ago, I got a stainless steel Dan Wesson Patriot pistol. Initial shooting proved the pistol to be utterly reliable with all JHP ammo I tried, be they handloads or commercial. Likewise, the pistol gobbled up 200-gr. CSWC’s, including some designs that can balk in more than a few 1911-pattern pistols. The only problem that…
In a previous article, I stated that my current favorite pocket holster and one that I used on an everyday (and night) basis is Tuff’s “Pocket-Roo” holster. If interested, here is a link to that article as well as one written by Mr. Aaron Brudenell: http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/user_report%20on%20tuff%20products%20pocket%20holster.htm http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/holsters_by_tuff_products_and_akjconcealcoBrudenell.htm Since my “user’s report” was written, nothing has…
Approximately 8 months ago I purchased a Tuff Products pocket holster designated “Pocket-Roo”. I appreciated the design incorporating a 5-shot “QuickStrip” reload within the holster and consistently positioning this QuickStrip perfectly for strong-hand retrieval and loading. At just under $25 a pop, I could not resist trying the holster. For folks not seeing the original…
It is no secret that Glocks normally seen in the US have traditionally come with plastic sights front and rear. Some shooters make no changes to these sights while others replace them posthaste. I do not care for Glock’s factory standard plastic sights, though it is not their “fragility” that bothers me; it is the…
