Getting Started Over the years I’ve carried a pretty diverse collections of pistols as well as one revolver. A Beretta, S&W, two Glocks, Browning, Sig, and Springfield XD are the ones I remember off the top of my head. All of them were fine firearms in their own right. With my training time compressed, I [...]
“My daddy can beat your daddy!” exclaimed the young boy to his friend. “Oh yeah!” his young friend retorted. “Bet I can beat you! That is when the fight started. When I heard that the Springfield XD series of pistols betters the Glock series of pistol, it reminds me of the situation above. We can [...]
Every so often, it is interesting to see how one firearm stacks up against another. I hope that you find the comparison that follows informative if you are considering the purchase of a Bersa 9UC or the SIG Sauer P239. At first appearance, it would seem that the SIG P239 and the Bersa Thunder 9UC [...]
By The Book. I recently rediscovered a gem in my collection of training materials; “Some Of The Answer, Handgun” by Jim Crews.

I have carried the Bersa Thunder 45UC for over a year and recently converted to the Glock G36 for EDC. The Bersa Thunder 45UC; however, is still carried on occasion and sometimes resides in a side pouch of my carry bag. You might think that, since I own the pistol, this review is going to [...]
Potential concealed carry handgun buyers face a dizzying array of options in the modern handgun market, with what seems like every firearm manufacturer in existence bringing forth several new products in the last few years. Naturally, almost every one is labeled as being ideal or perfect for concealed carry. Choosing just one of these handguns [...]
Sturm Ruger has been making firearms a long time and I have owned and currently own several of them; the .22 LR/WMR to the .44 magnum that Harry Callahan consecrated as “the most powerful handgun in the World”. I have rifles, single-action revolvers, and double-action revolvers and they all will outlast me. I have not; [...]
I have three bears in my house: The Glock G21 (Papa Bear), a Glock G30 (Momma Bear), and the Glock G36 (Baby Bear). The G36 has become my EDC, as I have relegated the Bersa 45UC to back up and other duties although I have to admit that I return to the Bersa for EDC [...]
A “Lead Sled” tends to have all extra side moldings shaved off and filled with the suspension lowered. Style, not speed was the reason for building them. Some common lead sleds are the 1949 Mercury, 1949 Ford and the 1959 Cadillac. Unlike the “Lead Sled” of automobile fame, the Glock G21 (some call it the [...]
