The number one topic in every class and event is sighting-in and determining the “best” method for your AR-15. At Trace Armory Group, I’ve developed a proven sight-in process that I use with all students. This article will explain why I recommend my approach and provide insights to help you develop a process that works…
Some time back I tested three bullets weights from Hornady for the 10mm Auto. You can read about that here. With the variety of ammunition for this caliber, I thought it would be a good idea to try out some different rounds. I secured some more test ammunition and headed back to the range with…
9mm Luger ballistic test The 9mm Luger, also know as the 9 x 19 Parabellum, was introduced in 1902 by Georg Luger and Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) for the German Luger semi automatic sidearm.

Pistol vs Carbine differences ammunition performance, and it is enough to really matter? It is not feasible to always carry a carbine or rifle as a defensive weapon. Many prefer a pistol for day to day carry and understandably so. Is it worth the extra investment to have a carbine chambered in a handgun caliber…

That would be the original or “GI” design that allows the rear of the cartridge to rise at close to the same angle…
I get a lot of folks inquiring about the ballistic tests I have done so I thought it would be easy to link them all in one post. For each test Clear Ballistics gel was used. Specific details are contained in the reviews. Velocity and performance were compared over several rounds fired, from about 25…
SIG Sauer has a solid reputation for building fine firearms, but in the recent past they have expanded into silencers, optics, ammunition, and airguns. Now I know what you are thinking, why would a large manufacture diversify into airguns. Well the SIG airguns are not toys, and they are more like clones of their firearms…
.40 smith and Wesson ballistics test As one of the most popular defensive calibers it is only logical to include it in the series of ballistic tests I have performed. First, a little history on the .40 S&W, In 1986, Michael Lee Platt and William Russell Matix (men who had met and became friends in…
