Concealed Carry Holster Review, JM4 QCC Generally speaking, I won’t do a holster evaluation unless it’s something really different that you just don’t see everyday. For example, I don’t usually do Kydex holster reviews because everyone and their uncle can get some equipment, make one, and, sadly, many of them are nearly identical to each […]
Test and Evaluation
My Travel Gun: Charter Arms 38 Special Revolver
To travel without having the ability to defend yourself against an attack is not a smart idea. No matter where I go, I try to pack a firearm with me, just in case I’m ever presented with the need for self-protection. I have a firearm dedicated to travel, and I thought it would be prudent […]

It took Florida-based […]
Gun Test: Sarsilmaz SAR 9 Review
There’s a new 9mm kid in town, and I’m willing to bet he’s here to stay. The SAR 9 is a new full size, striker-fired pistol from the factory of longtime gun maker Sarsilmaz, of Turkey.

Gun Review: Magnum Research Baby Desert Eagle 3
The folks who brought us the venerable Desert Eagle have also given us a smaller, tamer version of that monster in the form of the Baby Desert Eagle. The one Magnum Research sent out to me is the polymer-framed version of the full-sized pistol, with a 4.43 inch barrel chambered for .40 S&W. This gun […]
Mantis X Review
Training tool review, MantisX — Because being fast on the draw is great, but if you can’t hit anything, what’s the point?
