I sent my DDH9 back to the mother ship three weeks ago after it started keyholing badly, among other issues. Today I got this email blast: THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE OF THE DANIEL H9. At Daniel Defense, our customers are central to everything we do —...

I picked up Sig Custom Works 226 X5 this week after debating for some time. When I ordered the gun I knew I would be putting a red dot - a Romeo 1 Pro - on it so I also ordered an elevated rear sight with suppressor height sights. The X5 has a 5 inch barrel, a gas pedal take down lever, extended...

I was at an LGS on the weekend interested in the new Double Stack Tisas Duty when I came across, of all things, the new Gen 2 Archon Type B. I am a great fan of the Archon and have had the first offering of this gun for four years, so of course it came home with me and is now keeping the Gen 1...

I’ve been pretty vocal about getting my hands on the new Daniel Defense Daniel H9 and on Thursday I was checking the inventory of Rifle Gear in Dallas and they showed out of stock for the H9 so I put my name on the list. Not 15 minutes later I got an email from Rifle Gear saying they had five...

I went to the LGS to pick up an AR15 lower I had ordered and spotted a gun on the used gun rack that I couldn’t identify. It turned out to be a Beretta PX4 Full Size in .45. I had a look at it and was in pretty good shape, there’s some holster wear and what I would expect on the slides etc...

I consider the HK VP9 the most over-engineered gun I have ever come across. To lighten up the trigger pull on the VP9 you have to replace the sear spring, which is very simple in and of itself, but to get to the sear you have to just about detail strip the entire lower of the gun and risk...

Mr @KillerFord1977 deigned to fire my new Canik Meté MC9 - which is from Türkiye, if anyone is unsure - while we were at the range today and he managed to put 5 rds into a 1 in group the first time firing it. I did not take a picture but I know he did it and he knows he did it. Please feel free...

https://gundigest.com/more/how-to/firearm-training/semi-automatic-handgun-skills/amp A good article on handgun skills and preparation for changing scenarios. One of the things that @KillerFord1977 and I do in our private training is to have our instructor change up what we do so that each...

Every now and then our good friend @Bassbob gives us a glimpse of one of his shelves and we get a glimpse of his T-Rex Elvis or his Boba Fett helmet and for that brief moment we see behind the curtain. So I thought why don’t we all give the world a peek at what’s on the shelf. No need to explain...

I’ve been an unabashed Sig fanboi and I’ve been quietly running the HK flag up the flagpole for awhile. Recently, I started thinking about hi capacity .45s. I currently have two, both 1911s - so 8 rds it is. I’ve been looking pretty seriously at the HK45, but it only takes 10 rds in its basic...

And when I say kids, I mean a couple of my favorites that haven’t seen the light of day for about two months! Broke out the 226 Legion SAO, Prodigy and MP5 .22. The Prodigy (Middle) went first. 50 rds, 15yds. One for the Gods. I’ll take it The 226 Legion (bottom) 50rds, 15yds. I was...

https://watch.activeselfprotection.com/videos/how-much-capacity-is-enough-for-private-citizen-gunfights-asp-compilation Interesting video that makes me think that 10 or 12 rds may not be enough. Not sure I’m convinced and I do carry a spare mag, but it’s food for thought

I know we’ve discussed this point to death and I apologize ahead of time for bringing it up again. Recently we had a thread going where we touched on this and one member commented that he’d never seen a gun with brown packing grease in it ever. I picked up a new VP9SK today and when I brought...

Whether you like this sort of thing or not, more double stack 1911s that don’t break the bank is good for everyone.

I’m wondering what the market value for a Prodigy that runs like a freight train is because this will SIGnificantly impact my wallet! https://s2133745391.t.en25.com/e/es?s=2133745391&e=1026258&elqTrackId=efd74c1a1b7a40299e524d6e5aa03bea&elq=6aa958184a4b4c96b97f597d37310919&elqaid=945&elqat=1

Well, well, well, as promised I took on the role of Prodigy beta tester and put 151 rounds through it today. “That’s very precise,” you say. More in a moment. So, here is is: The Prodigy is exactly what we’ve been looking for - a 1911 that will hold 17+ rounds. It looks like a 1911, feels like...

Well, I trudged off to the range without my usual partner-in-crime Mrs. SimonRL, sorry I meant @KillerFord1977. I just wasn’t feeling it today and only shot 100 rounds. I took the 226 Legion and the Shadow Systems DR920 Elite and warmed up with each using 4 in targets at 12yds and then 15 and...

I picked up a Shadow Sytems DR920 Elite earlier this week and finally got it to the range today. The gun is a Glock clone, but clearly hasn’t been hit with the ugly stick. It comes with a level of quality not typically associated with a bone stock G17 and a price tag to go with it. It comes...

I thought I’d ask this question in response to @KillerFord1977’s SA-35 travails and my own ongoing experience with a couple of HK P30s. When you get a gun that makes you feel meh, do you stick with it until you get “good” with it, accept that you’re only going to get so good with it, get rid...
