Grand Power Q1 9mm Handgun: A Review
The Q 100 striker-fired series of handguns has been around for a while. They offer interchangeable grip modules, which were made popular in the US by Sig Sauer. But Grand Power was doing this long before Sig and they have a reputation for thinking outside the box. Grand Power weapons are made in Slovakia with most of their firearms being exported to other countries. Global Ordnance is the importer of Grand Power weapons, which is marked on all US-imported Grand Power guns.
HK USP Compact Vs. Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro
Is it fair to compare the HK USP Compact to the Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro? After all, the USP Compact was introduced in 1996, and the Hellcat Pro was only recently introduced and is fairly new on the market.
Ruger LCP II vs Beretta 21A: Rootin Tootin Rimfire Pistols
Two of the only modern semi-auto pocket pistols in .22LR are the Beretta 21A Bobcat and the Ruger LCP II in .22LR.

I wanted a pocket carry .22LR but wasn't sure which to get, so I bought both. Now I can fully answer which is better, and if you're in my dilemma, you'll have an answer.

The Colt Huntsman: An In-Depth Look
Every time I pick this Huntsman up, it takes me back to that evening when my dad was first shooting this pistol. I can still see and hear it in my mind; I can still feel the excitement of that day. That memory is followed by hundreds of others, from the times when we took this pistol to the range for fun shooting sessions. My dad is gone now, but the memories and the pistol remain.
Henry Homesteader vs AR-9: Which One Do You Need?
Pistol caliber carbines (PCCs) have taken the market by storm. They're affordable, fun, and reliable, and they're just as customizable as the ever-popular AR-15 rifle. An AR-style rifle that's chambered in 9mm Luger and uses Glock mags is a great defense weapon because you can carry the same magazines for your rifle and pistol. But what happens when a reputable gun company makes its own PCC that also uses the highly compatible Glock mag? The answer is that you buy both, right?
