The 10mm is a beloved cartridge among its small, but fiercely loyal cult. The 10mm has many names, including my favorite, the Centimeter.

No one likes to hear about accidental or negligent discharges (depending on your school of thought, those two are one in the same), particularly when they result in someone’s death. The case of a 24-year-old Detroit woman who was killed when she hugged an off-duty policeman at a party—the embrace discharging his IWB holstered .40 Smith & […]

A few months ago, SOFREP reported on an important discovery made by scientists at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory that involved combining water with a newly engineered nano-powder based on aluminum.  When water came into contact with the aluminum powder, it instantly released hydrogen that could be used as a fuel source to power electronics: […]

With all the kydex and appendix carry rage going on, everybody is repping their favorite blaster carrier. Over the years I’ve owned, trained and carried various kydex brands. Most of them I really enjoyed and found met my needs adequately, some were terrible bulky masses of hard plastic that just didn’t cut it. Recently I’ve […]

There are more multi-tools floating around on the market than I care to count. Most of them are copies of proven and tested designs from only a handful of reputable manufacturers.

Time has passed and the Trijicon MRO has had […]

How many of us remember the cheesy PG-13 and R-rated gun advertisements from the ’80’s and ’90’s that mostly featured scantily-clad middle-aged women, poor trigger discipline and emotionless faces?  Even though the shots were captured by what must have been the most disposable cameras available, sex sold more than a few cheap guns.

This is a shooting review of the CZ P-07 Gen 2 in 9mm. I have put over 5000 rounds through it without any malfunctions. I am going to do my best to describe what it is like to shoot this pistol to this round count. Now just to get it out of the way, you get the pistol with two mags, […]
