Next Post Coming Soon…▶ When I saw the new Taurus TX22 T.O.R.O. drop I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, I actually love my current TX22, and it’s my favorite .22 suppressor platform. On the other hand, the new T.O.R.O. has some great new features and might make me have to get another one! I had a chance to work with the TX22 when they very first came out back in 2019. The TX22 is a product of the U.S. engineers at the Taurus plant in Bainbridge, Georgia. I had a chance to talk to them at SHOT the…

John Boch Photo Next Post Coming Soon…▶ Thanks to the crypto currency Solana’s meteoric rise earlier this year, I could afford my own copy of the “great gun” Guns Save Life selected for our Great Guns 2024 drawing.  For those who missed it, the Illinois gun rights group GSL likes to give away a really nice firearm every year in a multi-month drawing. Springfield’s M1A Scout Squad got the nod this year thanks in part to the state’s sloppily-written gun and magazine ban. And because GSL loves poking fun and ridiculing political hacks that think they’re better and smarter than…

Well then the Hi Viz FastDot H3 Tritium and Fiber Optic system might be just what you’re looking for. Industry Day at the Range takes place a day before the SHOT Show officially starts. It’s a live fire event for media and industry that takes place at the Boulder City Rifle Pistol Club, located just outside of Las Vegas. While it’s always nice to get some trigger time in, that time on the range also lets…

Next Post Coming Soon…▶ Polymer frame striker-fired handguns are affordable, lightweight and reliable in most models. But striker-fired guns don’t have to be made of affordable polymer at all times. There is room for metal frames in order to improve fit and feel and heft. Smith & Wesson’s Military & Police 9mm is one of these guns and offers superior ergonomics with a trigger that in the new 2.0 version is greatly improved. The pistol was introduced with an optional aluminum frame some months back and is more expensive to be certain and not for everyone. But then it isn’t…

Next Post Coming Soon…▶ Boston Corbett stood ready, Colt 1860 Army revolver in hand, and had a split-second decision to make that would determine whether his fellow troopers would live or die. After a lifetime of sin, he would be the one to render judgement. It was a long climb up after finding religion and his way into the Union Army at the outbreak of the Civil War. War’s end found Sgt. Corbett and the men of the 16th New York Cavalry Regiment in Northern Virginia. But within days of Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, the 16th was put on…

Next Post Coming Soon…▶ Back in the early 1980s and ’90s, the Joint Special Operation Command (JSOC), the Army’s SFOD-D or Special Forces Operational Detachment, Delta more commonly known as Delta Force and the Marine Expeditionary Unit Special Operations Capable (MEUSOC) guys didn’t care for the new Beretta M9 bumping the tried and proven 1911 to the side lines. They preferred the thump the .45 Auto gave, so they took 1911s left over from World War II and decided to enhance and update the platform by combining combat and competition features of the time. That’s where Military Armament Corporation (MAC)…

Next Post Coming Soon…▶ I’ve often said that we live in the golden age of EDC and field knives. There is an overwhelming variety of knives to choose from depending on your budget and needs. The nice thing is that there are a lot of great knives available for good prices. You don’t have to spend a ton of money to get a quality knife that you can depend on. The Eutektik series from Liong Mah is a great example of that. Liong Mah started as a professional chef, so he has spent a lot of time working with knives…

Next Post Coming Soon…▶ The Colt Single Action Army revolver is probably the most recognizable handgun ever, and its silhouette has graced the big screen in the holsters of heroes and villains, both real and imagined. Colt has been making the SAA off and on since 1873. Over the last several decades, replica makers and major manufacturers have spun their own versions. While that distinctive outline and general operation has remained the same, the SAA has undergone many minor changes since it was first introduced. Cimarron’s US Cavalry Henry Nettleton model represents the Colt Single Action as it was first…

Originally introduced for sale in 1993, the HK USP (Universelle Selbstladepistole or Universal Self-Loading Pistol) is an overbuilt tank of a pistol that first came to market chambered in .40 S&W. While many other pistols at the time were suffering from cracked frames and other issues due to taking 9mm designs and tweaking them to fit the bigger and higher pressure .40 S&W, the USP was designed from the ground up with this cartridge in mind.

Next Post Coming Soon…▶ I know what you are thinking. Inexpensive and performance when describing a 1911 magazine is contradictory. We all have tried inexpensive 1911 magazines, and the result was a jammed up 1911. Stovepipes and failure to go into battery malfunctions can typically be traced back to an inferior magazine. Reliability in a 1911 magazine is mandatory, paying gobs of money for a good 1911 magazine is not. That’s why Lynn Thompson, former owner of Cold Steel, started Never Unarmed. These 1911 magazines are 100 percent reliable and only cost $17.95. Details Never Unarmed .45 ACP 1911 Magazines…
