    Should I Run My Hellcat Without an Optic?

    Thanks, I get your point now. I'm new to a red dot on pistols, I'm trying one on my 3.8"bbl XD/M in 10mm. I hope that while I don't expect a fine degree of accuracy, it might make me a better defensive shooter at longer ranges. You're absolutely right about it's use in bullseye-type shooting, it...

    Should I Run My Hellcat Without an Optic?

    If you're shooting at a 1" spot and there are no other aiming references, then yes it would be difficult. With other visual clues like the rings on a bullseye target, it makes little difference. Look at the target using a 3 MOA red dot ... then look at it with your irons. If you're carrying a...

    Does the Cartridge Still Matter?

    It is, as a friend would say, "informationally dense". I'd give it a bit more credit than other such tests I've read in the past, chiefly because they used a better simulation of the human animal than is ballistic gel. You do get some uncontrollable variation due to the beef briskets being...

    Does the Cartridge Still Matter?

    Given that shot placement is King, I'd bet that much of that is due to the Beretta 92's accuracy. The Taurus 92-like pistol is also very accurate right out of the box (at least, mine was), and I prefer it over the Beretta due to the changes they made - the safety is mounted on the frame instead...

    Does the Cartridge Still Matter?

    I was very surprised that the US military stayed with 9mm in their new SIGs, after finding out that they've already decided to leave the 5.56 NATO standard in favor of a 6.8mm proprietary cartridge (commercially, the .277 Fury) in a roughly .308 sized case for their Next Generation Weapon...

    Does the Cartridge Still Matter?

    Just some food for thought: During the 18th century, most pistols were .62 caliber or larger. They worked well, but were single shot muzzleloaders so those who "used them in their trade" be it military or law enforcement (usually one and the same back then) carried them in pairs, then termed "a...

    Should I Appendix Carry?

    I carry AIWB daily - by that I mean I carry an XD/M Compact inside my pants' waistband in a Clinger holster, clipped over my gunbelt. I do not carry centerline or nearly so like a lot of the combo holster/mag-carrier rigs that are all the rage, your appendix isn't behind your navel. The XD/M...

    Will the new XDM "META" Trigger be sold separately??

    Any "new news" on whether this trigger will be available for sale or as an upgrade installed by Springfield on their older guns?
