Why the 1911 still rocks…In My Opinion

The 1911 has been around for 100 plus years at this point. The 1911 is an all metal handgun that is completely overweight by today’s standards. She holds 7+1 or in modern magazines 8+1. So roughly half of what a modern .45 ACP carries. A gun ought to retire after a while and yet Browning’s […]

The New M&P M2.0 Gets Sweaty, Muddy, and Bloody

The M&P line is well-respected for a reason. Over the years, they have proven to be well-made and reliable duty-worthy weapons. I carry a Shield quite often, own an M&P9, and have owned several of the M&P products over the years, including a good little AR.  The first handgun I ever loved was my dad’s […]

Former Army Ranger Nick Irving reviews the Heckler & Koch 416 A5

Heckler & Koch 416 A5 Minus a few drawbacks that some of us find in the AR-15/M4 platforms, I’m a big fan of the AR-15 platform, after all it is what we use in the military.  I recall on a few deployments working with SEAL teams, 1st SFOG, and our K-9 handlers, a few of […]
