I encountered the G2C and G3C at great prices also. I bought the PT 111 Millennium (previous name for the G2C) a few years ago. I carried it as my EDC for awhile due to the fact that it was the smallest double-stack 9mm at the time. It has been a great gun, and I still use it as a trainer...

I was doing pretty well on passing-up deals for the past few months. I was able to almost completely ignore any number of Turkish clones and discount Taurus products. Unfortunately, I couldn't pass up the Beretta APX A1 Carry for $199 after rebate. Beretta is one of my favorite manufacturers...

I know those videos are ridiculous, but I find them entertaining. I do wonder how many times Springfields will have to perform well before Garandthumb stops being surprised. The guy freaked when the S&W M&P won the semi-auto pistol ice test, and has similar reactions when Springfield and PSA...

I've been carrying my EDC in one for about six months. It does not collapse when the gun is removed, but it is always advisable to remove the holster from your waist prior to re-holstering. An ounce of prevention and all.

I agree with Anni on this one. I've seen more than a few "pistol issues" at the range that were actually "shooter issues". My favorite complaint is when I hear that a certain pistol shoots low-left. Anytime I have an issue with a particular pistol, I like to have a couple of my...

Aside from the "FL" suffix on the model numbers that Lowlife mentioned, there are normally one or two other indicators. From my experience, both sites will have the language "Qualified Professionals Only" somewhere on the information page/listing for Frontline models. KYGunCo will also have a...

Kentucky Gun Co. just received some of the blued Garrisons. They are the same price as Primary Arms, but KYGunco doesn't charge for shipping, and only charges sales tax to select states. I've had great luck with the company. I ordered one of their Black Friday deals last week, and my FFL...

I apologize for the delay in posting, but I've been busy with the holiday. I e-mailed both companies about their CLP products, and both responded with advice on using their products on wood and polymer.. Safariland Response: "Thank you for reaching out. CLP is safe for use on wood, polymer...

While I have more expensive revolvers, I have a soft spot for Charter Arms. The quality control has been a little questionable in the past, but I believe the current revolvers are better than Taurus (I bought two of the new Taurus . 22 WMR 942 models, and both had to be sent back to Taurus...

I've been using Ballistol as my primary gun cleaner for years, mainly because it is safe for all surfaces. I recently saw several CLP review videos, and both the Break Free Mil-Spec and Lucas Oil aerosol products performed significantly better on metal surfaces than Ballistol. I read the...

I’d always heard that the Sig P226 was a great gun, but I’ve never been a big Sig Sauer guy, and I have never paid more than about $600 on a handgun. The $899-$1399 price tag for the P226 had always kept me from ever adding one to my collection. I took a chance on an LE Trade-In model in .40 S&W...

I'm proud to report that my LE Trade-In P226 functioned flawlessly at the range. I didn't have much .40 S&W on hand, so I only fired 75 rounds, but it was enough for the gun to impress me. I'd never fired .40 S&W through a metal-framed gun before, and was surprised by how little felt recoil I...

I frequently carry IWB, and will only carry a striker-fired pistol without an external safety in a kydex holster. I know that many shooters do not care for grip safeties in general, but the grip safeties on the XD series of pistols are one of my favorite features. I have enough confidence in...

I'd have to know a little more about the particular mags your using. The mags that work in my Fatih are after-market magazines made by Mec-Gar for the Beretta 84/Cheetah. I don't know if the Mec-Gar mags are exact copies of Beretta factory mags. The exact info for my mags, according to the...

I was still working Patrol when Dallas PD was carrying .357 Sig. They were the only department in the DFW area that I remembering carrying .357 Sig. It's still easy to find tons of the stuff at the local police supply stores due to the number of DPD officers who either still carry it or own...

You've piqued my interest. I have absolutely zero experience with the .357 Sig round. I'd always heard that it was an easy conversion with the Glocks, but I didn't pay too much attention at the time. Would I need to use .357 Sig magazines, or will .357 Sig rounds load and chamber using .40 S&W...

I don't have any experience with their 1911s, but my Tisas Fatih 13 (Beretta 84 clone) has been 100% reliable. Fit and finish are much better than I expected for the price. If I were in the market for a 1911, I'd be willing to consider a Tisas.

I've wanted a Sig Sauer P226 for some time, but the current prices of $999-$1299 kept me from buying one. I saw that one of the online dealers I trust was selling a batch of LE Trade-In .40 S&W P226 pistols for $458 ($508 after taxes, shipping, and transfer). I've never purchased a...

Am I the only one who supports Biden's plan? It's about time we imposed an "8 bullets in a Round" limit. The "9th Round Flyer" is unpredictable and often ruins my shotgun groupings. It makes perfect sense to me to limit 00 Buckshot to 8 pellets. I'm pretty sure that's what he meant. Any...

I was unaware of the .38 Super 1911 before I watched Paul Harrell fire his .38 Super Colt 1911 in several of his videos. I don't have the time/energy/money to add another caliber to my collection at this time, but a .38 Super 1911 is on my list of guns to buy "someday". Even if I had the...
