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.

It differs…

My very first was a 1918 DWM Luger which had been given to me by a friend of the family. It sported a 3 5/8” barrel and remnants of nickel-plating. That was the first…
Hello. Back in 1996, I bought a CZ Kadet .22 LR conversion for use on a Pre-B CZ-75. If memory serves, it came with a couple of 10-shot magazines. Though I understand it is not always the case, the Kadet unit slid right onto my CZ-75 frame with no problems at all. The magazine locked into place…
