Sig Sauer P365 vs FN Reflex: A Comparison Review
The Reflex's grip has two different textures: on the front and rear are small squares that protrude and stick in the hand when the grip is squeezed. On the sides, there is stippling. Overall, it's a very functional grip that works well and looks interesting and sophisticated.
Glock 49 vs Walther PDP Compact: A Side-by-Side Comparison
Both guns are reliable and have some positive attributes the other misses out on. I’m never shy about saying which gun I prefer but in this case it’s a coin toss. I like my Glock 49, the accessories for it and the red dot adaptor plates you get in the box when purchased. The PDP, however, is a great looking gun and even more comfortable to shoot.
The New Generation of S&W Bodyguard
The S&W Bodyguard is a fun revolver without a hefty price tag attached to it. In practice, it's plenty reliable but lacks some luster from the S&W revolver offerings. It's not just the polymer but the unimpressive trigger. I do like the cylinder release, but would I prefer a tab to cock the hammer to single action like a classic Bodyguard? I think so.
Back in Blue: The Latest Colt Python
Colt has gone all-in on reviving their wheel gun line. The new Pythons are well crafted and filling a niche for those of us who've always wanted one. And the 4.25" size may be an ideal option for OWB.
Colt Python .357 Magnum 2.5-Inch: Range Review
The Colt Python has often been described as the Cadillac of double-action revolvers. That is high praise indeed, given that Colt invented the revolver market and brought so iconic revolvers to the market before the Python was introduced in 1955. But does the new line of Python revolvers live up to its reputation?
In general, the long-stroke piston (like the AK-47) is more reliable than other systems. A rifle with this system will generally continue to cycle and fire correctly regardless of how dirty the gun gets. It also shoots cleaner than a gas impingement system, but it comes at a cost. Long-stroke piston systems tend to kick more and are not as accurate.
Winchester’s 9422 XTR: A Little Lever In .22LR
Had we been headed to the field, we'd have each stuffed a couple hundred rounds into our coat pockets, which brings me to another of the .22's advantages - its light weight and compact size allow a lot of ammunition to be carried around easily. Such are the wonderful aspects of the .22 round.
Taurus Model 62 Pump Action .22 Rifle Review
Before my friend introduced me to it, I had never heard of the Model 62 rifle from Taurus. He simply handed it to me during one of our shooting sessions, and I began plinking away happily at little steel silhouette targets. After I'd emptied the magazine, I began looking over the rifle, and was a little shocked when I saw that it was Taurus; I didn't realize that they make rimfire rifles. But make them they do!
Taurus 85 Total Titanium: A Quality Revolver
The little wheel gun functioned well at the range, as expected. The recoil was stout but manageable.
The FN Reflex Vs. Springfield’s Hellcat: There’s A Clear Winner
Today, we'll be pitting two micro-9mm pistols – the Springfield Hellcat and the FN Reflex – against each other to consider their differences and attributes. After we put them through their paces, we'll declare a winner. You will likely be surprised at who the winner is; the decision is very clear-cut for me.
