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…

In years past, S&W K-Frame revolvers were extremely popular sellers and commonly seen in the world of the gun. As this is written, S&W still produces the K-Frame but only in .38 Special; NIB S&W K-Frame .357’s are no more, though they can still be found on the used market. That a particular handgun is…
One year shy of the twentieth century’s debut, Smith & Wesson unleashed one of the most prolifically-produced foundations of revolver design extant, the M&P (Military & Police) double-action revolver. It was built on a medium-size frame, one that S&W designated with the letter “K”. It would see bloodlettings from the Philippines to back alleys in…
This report is intended to be read after “Shooting the Glock 19”. It is a follow-up or “addendum” sort of thing to it. Here’s the link to the previous article for those who might be interested: http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/shooting_the_glock_19.htm The Glock 19 used in this segment of the saga is not the same one used for the initial report. It differs…
