    Hunting Pancho Villa with the 1911

    Of all the figures in the Mexican Revolution, I only respect Emiliano Zapata. Villa was a bandit that joined the Revolution for his own gains. While he may be considered a "hero" by some Mexicans now (and then) Zapata genuinely cared for the Mexican peasant. I have read several books on the...

    XD-M Elite vs. SA-35: Does New Outpace the Old?

All work without hiccups, although the original I wouldn't trust with...

    In Washington both pistols are now illegal unless you purchased them prior to the new law going into effect last July. Fortunately, I already owned a Belgian High Power and several 13 and 15 round magazines that are "grandfathered" in. Can't sell them except through an FFL and must be sold out...
