A few months ago a friend of mine, retired law enforcement and a proper gun guy, went to work with Powertac. He asked if he could send me a Warrior G4 tactical flashlight to look over. I have shot with this guy, and I know he knows his stuff, so I accepted. The Warrior was […]
Rock Island Armory TAC Standard FS in .45 Automatic arrived about three and a half months ago for review. We put about 350 various rounds downrange with no pistol failures and it was proving to be a solid pistol. Way back in 2014 I reviewed the RIA 9mm TAC 1911. You can read that […]
SHOT show 2019 I was fortunate enough to meet the crowd from Shadow Systems and get a good look at the then new MR 920, replacing the previous MR 918, both chambered in 9mm Luger. The MR 918 was an innovative pistol to be sure, but for a company that cut its teeth on customizing […]
Can you shoot .40 Smith and Wesson out of your 10mm Auto pistol? Yes, but you should not. Ever. Straight walled pistol cases headspace off the case mouth. The .40 S&W is .142″ shorter than the 10mm Auto on average for in spec ammo. In case you do not know what headspace is, it is […]
It was a few months ago the Dan Wesson Vigil showed up for review. We pressed it into service right away. As expected, it was well fit and quite attractive, but how would she act? The Vigil is a very traditional looking pistol with classic lines. It has what you need in a defensive pistol […]
It was a few months ago I received the TALO El Dorado .22 lever gun to photograph for TALO. Once all that business was over I offered to do a review of the little rifle based on the Henry Golden Boy. I mean why not? It is a lever gun in .22, and I already […]
It was a few months ago I received the CZ Redhead Premier Target to try out. Full discloser, I do not know a whole lot about formal sporting clays and such but I have spent many an afternoon busting clays in the back yard with friends. Now Candy with the Gun Powder Gals is up […]
Last year, Chad and I spent the day at the Gunsite Academy where the Colt Media day was held reintroducing the Colt Python. You can read that article by following this link. I am thankful to see Colt getting back into the revolver game. You can read my review of the Colt King Cobra […]
The Dan Wesson Specialist, a culmination of mission-specific features applied to the tried and true 1911 platform. For some reason, Dan Wesson discontinued the Specialist in 2019 but thankfully reintroduced it at SHOT show 2020 with some updated changes. Let’s go through those first. The serrations of the top of the slide are no longer […]
Back in 2016, I reviewed the Gilboa M43 rifle from Silver Shadow; you can read that review by following this link. I was impressed by the rifle and began to develop a relationship with the manufacture and the fine people that worked there. The Gilboa DBR Snake was unveiled at the 2017 SHOT show, and […]
