    Review: Stan Chen Customized 1911 EMP

    If Kimber can make a compact 45 ACP, why can't Springfield? I love my Kimber CDP and carry it daily.

    Strikeman Laser Firearm Training System Review

    I ordered the Strikeman from Strikeman. They claim fast shipping, but all I've gotten so far is an abundance of emails. Can't use what they don't ship. I already have it if I ordered through Amazon.

    Decades of Shooting: One Author’s Top 10 1911 Handguns

    That's what my Ronin's are. The ones that I got with the TRP have nothing but "45ACP."

    Decades of Shooting: One Author’s Top 10 1911 Handguns

    I just took delivery of a TRP 4.25 inch in Coyote Brown. Needless to say it's well built. The grips are phenomenal. Fit and finish is just right. I took it out last Tuesday for a test run. I encountered a problem with the magazines. The lower lip on the follower did not clear the magazine body...

    Where's the compact EDC .45

    I've been carrying a Kimber Ultra CDP since 2002. I shoot it regularly and have yet to have a malfunction. I also have both 5" and 4.25" Ronin in 45ACP; I like both of those, but not for EDC.

    Anyone know why they stopped production?

    Where's the compact EDC .45

    I was referring to a 1911 akin to the Kimber Ultra CDP.

    Black Hills HoneyBadger 10mm Review

    I enjoyed the article Roy, but firearms involved not withstanding, the FBI agents involved used somewhat questionable tactics. A variety of firearms were involved, including .38 special, .357 magnum, 12 gauge shotguns and 9mm pistols. The bottom line is eight FBI agents had difficulty dealing...

    Was the M1 Garand En-Bloc Clip a Terrible Idea?

    I have limited experience with the M1. I was able to purchase one through the DCM program in late 1985. I have an International Harvester with all matching parts and an LMR barrel. It's fun to shoot and amazingly accurate. My only experience with the M14 was in boot camp and ITR. At that time...

    My Philosophy on the 10mm Ronin

    I've had my Ronin 10mm just over six months now. It took a while to find one, but it is now my favorite 10. I also own a Ronin 45 and it is second only to my Kimber CDP 45. What's changes of getting SA to make a 10 or a 45 compact with a three inch barrel?

    Welcome Message

    Well, I guess Springfield finally made another run of 10mm Romin. I had bid on two different guns on Gun Broker and was outbid on both. I finally found one on Guns.com and snatched it up. Yesterday I took it out and ran 100 rounds of CCI Blazer through it. As with the two 45s, it functioned...

    Welcome Message

    I'm still wondering if Springfield is ever going to make any more 10mm Ronin pistols. Can't find one anywhere.

    The Long and the Short of It: Ronin vs. EMP

    Today I took both Ronins out and ran 100 rounds each through them. The ammo used was 230gr FMJ from LAX ammumition. No issues with either pistol or the ammo. The only comment I can provide is that the ammo was very dirty. I don't know what powder they use in their reloads, but it was dirty...

    The Long and the Short of It: Ronin vs. EMP

    As luck would have it, I was in a local gunshop just browsing to see what they had in stock. There in the case was a 4.25 Ronin 45ACP priced at $795, brand new. I was shocked to see one below retail, but I didn't ask too many questions before getting out the credit card. Like the 5 inch, it is...
