Sig Sauer M17, the sidearm of freedom.

It was a few months ago when I received an email from Sig Sauer informing me I was slated to get one of the new M17 pistols for review, yes the M17 that was adopted by the US Army phasing out the M9. This excited me for two reasons, first because of being able to review such a handgun and second because I have a disdain for the M9 developed while I was in the USMC.

Bravo Concealment BCA concealed carry kydex holster.

It was a few months ago I received a Kydex holster from Bravo Concealment designed to fit the Dan Wesson Discretion, as reviewed here. While that may seem unnoteworthy it is quite tough to find a quality holster designed for concealed carry that will acclimate a full size 1911 style pistol with a rail, silencer sights, and a threaded barrel.

Tandemkross Tomahawk Ruger 22/45 Magazine Basepad

Sometimes it is the little things that make all the difference. It was a couple of months ago Tandemkross sent me a pair of their Tomahawk extended magazine base pad for the Ruger 22/45.

The Tomahawk adds a bit of thickness to the magazine base, so when seating the magazine you have a little added insurance of a correct and solid seat. The toe of the magazine base pad is exaggerated enough to…

Charter Arms Mag Pug .41 Magnum, a handful.

There are guns that can do a little bit of everything and there are guns that are very purpose built. I believe the new Charter Arms Mag Pug in .41 Magnum is a purpose built revolver.

Initial Thoughts

The five shot cylinder held up well over 150 rounds with no problems with no lock up or end shake developing.

Fixed sights with the front sight serrated to keep light reflection to a minimum.

Coonan Compact .357 Magnum, pocket powerhouse.

I have reviewed several pistols in the Coonan line up, the .357 Magnum Classic, .357 Magnum Classic factory comp, .45 Automatic, and 10mm Automatic so I am somewhat familiar with the platform. The Compact is a bit of a different animal so I thought it warranted a separate review.

You are your own first responder.

Here in North Carolina, we are beginning to get out from under Hurricane Florence. I am very fortunate to be inland enough that all we got was heavy rain and moderate wind. Many are far worse off than us and my thoughts and prayers go out to them. When news of Hurricane Florence began to spread I was in the Czech Republic with CZ doing the factory tour and media day. I was halfway around the…

CZ factory tour in Uherský Brod

I was privileged to visit Uherský Brod in the Czech Republic to tour the Česká Zbrojovka factory. While I have published many reviews on CZ firearms and have an understanding of their quality, visiting the factory was truly an eye opener.

We started at the beginning where the wood comes in to be dried and cut to shape for…

Dan Wesson TCP Loyal Sidekick.

About three months and some 500 rounds ago I received the new Dan Wesson TCP, and I believe I have this pistol figured out. The Tactical Commander Pistol is a new spin on a proven platform. Though not a true four and a quarter, Commander the TCP is a four-inch top end with a full size receiver. With the shorter stainless steel slide it is a bit easier to conceal, but in keeping with the full…
