    Shadow Systems with Steiner or Aimpoint

    So far the Shadow Systems seems to be the only "factory" option for a gun that's directly milled for the new Aimpoint ACRO or Steiner MPS. https://www.police1.com/police-products/firearms/articles/review-xr920-from-shadow-systems-wFI3BZ8OxqV1cxOk/ Down side is the cut appears to only be...

    Staccato 2011s for Law Enforcement Use

    I do find it somewhat remarkable that Staccato has been able to take the 2011 from a competition handgun into one that's almost main stream for LE. Here is a recent AmericanRifleman.com article that mentions 500+ departments allow the 2011 for police use: An Official Journal Of The NRA |...

    Karl Sokol Hi Power. A Silk Purse from a Sow's Ear!

    As many of you have seen, I have a thread going about a Browning Hi Power that was worked over by Karl Sokol of Chestnut Mountain Sports. Based on my experience with Karl and that first gun, I decided to send him another. The original thread is found here...

    New from Shadow Systems--the MR920

    This is just announced and is based on feedback from owners of the MR918. The 920 is more or less a 2.0 version of the 918. Still based on the G19, it has been tweaked to address a few key points. The beavertail is slightly elongated with a slightly different profile. Apparently a few people...

    Ruger Launches an LCP in .22LR

    I guess they should have announced this a month ago. I'm sure it would have sold well for Christmas... https://www.shootingillustrated.com/articles/2019/12/30/range-review-ruger-lite-rack-lcp-ii-22-lr/

    Glocks that aren't made by Glock. Next "Big" Thing?

    More and more of these are popping up. We've got ZEV, 80%, Lone Wolf, and a few others. I like the idea of the permanent beavertail. Hopefully the prominence of these on the aftermarket frames will prompt Glock to add something like this on the Gen 6...

    Karl Sokol Browning Hi Power Build

    Back about five months ago I sent a used pistol to Karl Sokol of Chestnut Mountain Sports. I asked him to complete his $750 Hi Power package with a few additions. The 1st special request was to blue the gun rather than paint it. The other option I wanted was to have an extended safety...

    Article on Fort Knox

    https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2019/8/21/fortified-defense-fort-knox-gun-safes/ I've always liked their products. I wouldn't mind getting an M2 safe. One of these days....

    Privateer Leather

    Here are a couple photos of my new Raider from Privateer Leather. I've always liked the old Bianchi Askins Avenger but they are long out of production and somewhat hard to find depending on what pistol you're shopping for. This might be the next best thing. Being new, the holster is quite...

    Make Mine a .32 Mag? Ballistic Gel Tests

    https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2019/5/30/the-underappreciated-32-magnums/ Here's a combo of cartridges we don't hear much about. Smith (and a few others) made revolvers for both but those are discontinued. I think Ruger is the only source now for a .327 Federal Magnum. Of course...

    American Rifleman shooting review of the BRN-10 and CETME L

    Something new on the American Rifleman website. Both rifles are quite interesting although I think I like the BRN-10 the best. The AR-10 is one of those rifles I always dreamed of owning. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2019/5/23/retro-rifles-from-brownells-and-marcolmarfirearms/

    Forum Member DPRIS Denis J. Prisbrey Passes

    This might not be the appropriate location for a thread like this but I guess it is fitting that it be posted in gun discussions. I didn't know Denis. Never met him personally. But I did read his posts here on the forums and exchanged a few PMs with him over the years. May he rest in peace...

    New to Me FEG Hi Power

    Here's something I just picked up the other day. The pistol is rather typical of the FEG guns in that it has the high gloss blue finish and the small three dot sights. This gun is in pretty decent overall shape although shows evidence of being carried a bit. There are quite a few fine...

    Customs and Border Protection Chooses Glock as New Handgun

    The announcement was officially made today. Many people had been speculating that CBP would follow ICE and adopt the P320. No word yet on what specific model(s) will be authorized for duty carry. We should have all that info in the next day or two...

    FEG Hi-Power back from The Action Works

    This pistol started life as a used but mostly unmodified PJK-9HP. I sent it to The Action Works to have the feedramp polished, sear engagement cleaned up, new sights installed and a matte refinish.

    American Rifleman Colt Night Cobra Review

    https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2019/1/2/tested-colt-night-cobra-revolver/ What's the hive mind think of these? When Colt announced the Cobra reboot it seemed to generate much excitement but now there doesn't seem to be much interest. My general thoughts are that the price is too...

    American Rifleman Tests the P320-M17

    The pistol shot pretty well. Heck I've shot guns that are twice the price that don't shoot as well. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2018/11/13/tested-sig-sauer-p320-m17-pistol/ What do we know about the M17 commercial model vs the Real Deal? What's different between the Army's...

    P320 X-Series

    https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2018/8/10/tested-sig-sauer-p320-x-series-pistols/ Where are we with these guns now that the drop fire issue seems to have been resolved? Are they becoming a popular handgun or do the safety concerns linger? And are the Glock fanboys still upset over the...

    American Rifleman .357 Mag Tests

    https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2018/7/27/testing-the-357-mag-cartridge/ Nine loads tested. I'm surprised the extra pop didn't really seem to help much. I suppose a common misconception is felt recoil equals terminal performance...

    Lead 38 Bullets in Gel. How Did They Do?

    Long overdue but I finally shot a couple 38 Special lead bullet loads into 10% organic gel. I used a Ruger LCR for the test. Gel was shot from ten feet. The first load is a full wadcutter from Double Tap. This is not billed as a +P load and is loaded with a cast double ended bullet not a...
