Micro-compact pistols can be snappy, which may not work for shooters with less hand strength. This is why many manufacturers have provided pistols in 9x18mm, also known as .380 or 380ACP. The case has reduced space for powder, and often shoots a lighter projectile, both of which contribute to less recoil impulse, reduced spring pressures, […]
Staccato announced their HD C3.6 this week. I think I would call this the “Glock 19 of the Staccato HD lineup” with its 15-round capacity. Obviously, the 3.6 is in addition to the P4 and the P4.5 versions, which both have 18 round capacity and barrel lengths of 4″ and 4.5″ (respectively). We are currently […]
Have you been waiting for the right value-priced pistol with available brace? Perhaps the Taurus GX4 Strike Bravo is the pistol for you. Taurus says: The Taurus GX4 Strike Bravo takes the proven GX4 Carry 9mm platform and adds a bold new edge through collaboration with Strike Industries. Outfitted with the Strike Industries FSA Single […]
The Springfield Echelon continues its development with the 4.0C Comp version. It provides an integrated compensator for flatter shooting, and includes both 18-round and 15-round capacity magazines (if your state allows). The 4″ barrel is a popular choice, providing a nice compact platform for everyday carry. My guess is that this pistol shoots flat. I […]
We recently posted about the Smith & Wesson Shield X. This is what the Shield should have been all along. After receiving one in the shop, we quickly got to work making holsters for it… and here is what we have for you: First up, we have the Bisect holster. This is a great option […]
The Smith & Wesson Shield has been a popular concealed carry handgun since it was released way back when. A number of people I knew carried the Shield, and some even competed with it. Werkz even provides non-light-bearing holsters for the Shield. However, the initial version was down on capacity, which Smith & Wesson addressed […]
CZ added a port and a heavier barrel to the P10C to reduce muzzle rise. While I don’t have one on hand, I suspect it will fit in our existing P10C holsters for the pistol when fitted with a TLR-7 light. See CZ’s press release here.
There aren’t a lot of new pistols dropping this summer, so I was surprised when I heard Sig Sauer had a new product that wasn’t just a variant of an existing product. Sig introduced their P211-GTO today. At $2300 without optic, the pistol has quite a few interesting features, including: If you want a more […]
Some things are forever right? You can depend on them being there. Like diamonds. And taxes. And the Glock 17 Gen4. Except the last one of those items. Glock is discontinuing a slew of pistols, including the Glock 17 Gen4 and the Glock 17 Gen4 / Gen5 MOS. Along with some of those semi-popular pistols, […]
I’m a fan of DA/SA pistols. The mechanism provides an extra layer of protection for when holstering. When out training for hours, it’s possible to miss that piece of brass inside the holster mouth, or a shirt bunched up in the trigger guard area. But DA / SA pistols provide the ability to holster with […]
