Yes, that is true, but I find the rear sight to be the most reliable with a properly designed rear sight. It's very easy to miss with the ejection port. The ejection port also can require an awkward twisting of your hand.

It's one simple reason. The Novak rear sight does not work for one handed slide manipulation. It's a nice smooth ramp that slides right off of your belt or boot or whatever you might press the rear sight up against to rack the slide with only one hand. My personal view is that I carry a gun...

I admit to a specific prejudice against the Novak rear sight.

I remember when it was first introduced. I thought it was a bad idea then and I still do.

In my state the best practice is to hand the officer your driver's license and your LTC together with your registration. Have them out and ready by the time the officer gets to your door. As soon as they run your driver's license they will know how many guns you have registered to you in the...

Looks like a nice 1911. I am particularly thankful for the absence of the forward cocking serrations. However that useless Novak rear sight will be replaced as soon as I get one of these. Novak sights simply do not belong on combat handguns. I wish they would use the same rear sight they...

I'm familiar with both and what I said equally applies to both. The Vulcan mounts you link to are sold under various names. I would not trust any magnet mount in a car. Physics will win every time.

The M1911A1 pistol fully loaded with 8+1 rounds weighs approximately 2.86 lbs. In a 20 mph single vehicle collision with an object the pistol will incur an impact force of 116.6 lbs. 116.6 pounds of force. Already double what your magnet is "rated" to hold. That rating is bare magnet to...

Do you think it's going to even remotely retain your weapon in the event of a car accident? It's not.

They are worse than worthless.

1986 FBI Miami shootout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_FBI_Miami_shootout "...The initial collision that forced the suspects off the road caused some unforeseen problems for the agents, as the FBI vehicles sustained damage from the heavier, older car driven by Matix. Just prior to ramming...

That certainly looks like a supressor sticking out of the turret on the robot dog.

Yes these have been in developement for a couple of decades.

Remeber the police are the civilian market. This is not something that they need.

Right arm of the free world. Wouldn't it be awesome if Springfield started making them?

Thanks for posting this great video. The shotgun has always been my go to longarm for defensive purposes. I have an M1A and Scout and and FAL, I'll even admit to an AR (but it's in .300 Blackout). However all of those are going to be left in the safe if I have to grab one long gun to deal...

Before I bought my Scout I did a bunch of research and saw several forum posting in various places stating that the 16" Socom just wasn't quite reliable. The muzzle being too close to the gas port, while the Scout seemed to be just far enough away to work reliably. I can say my Scout has never...

Cleaning and maintaining my weapons is relaxing for me. Also it means if I need it I'm not worried about it functioning because I know it will.

I have three Berettas, two work just fine, the Cheetah has some issues, not sure if it's magazine related or not yet.

My personal experience has been the following: ETS: I've owned two Glocks, neither one worked. So I'm a bit biased. Mec-Gar: I have had bad luck with their aftermarket magazines for 1911s. McCormick: The magazines I carry daily in my 1911 and have for 25+ years. Metalform: They seem to work...
