Red Dot Showdown: Aimpoint ACO vs Sig Romeo 7
These days, optics come in all shapes and sizes, with some selling for as little as $99, while others exceed $1,000. Today, we'll take a look at two well-known "budget" optics and find out whether one is better than the other.
The Rise and Fall of the .40 S&W
The .40’s fall from popularity was precipitous. Today, there are gun shops where if you want a .40 you’ll have to order one because they don’t keep them in stock, and they won’t even take one in trade because no one seems to want to buy a used one.

The P32 vs the Tomcat: .32 ACP Shootout
In the gun world, the classic 'you get what you pay for' is a very real thing. Spending extra money on guns and gear often results in obtaining better guns and gear. Is it always true? Well, as they say, "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." How do we know if we don't try? With that in mind, I took out two of the few modern production .32 ACP handguns on the market to see if the price stumps everything.
Sig Romeo 4T: Durability in a Small Footprint
The Sig Romeo 4T is a fantastic addition to the current collective of rifle red dot optics. While Sig is a relatively new name in the optics game, this red dot has every feature you can imagine and is nothing short of Sig quality.

Streamlight Wedge XT Review: The EDC King of Lights
When Streamlight released the Wedge flashlight a couple of years ago, I was an instant believer. I bought one and started carrying it around everywhere I went. Working in law enforcement, I have to say that the little light came in handy more times than I can count. Recently, though, Streamlight released an even more compact version called the Wedge XT. I’ve been carrying it around for a few weeks now and it’s my new favorite light.
Binary triggers aren’t for everyone. Some folks like them and some don’t. I don’t have binary triggers on my home defense guns for the reasons discussed previously. I’m not a competition shooter, nor will I ever be. I have exactly one binary trigger-equipped firearm. I shoot mine because it’s fun, and that’s enough for me.
The Rise and Fall of the .45 GAP
Will .45 GAP rise again? The future is unpredictable, but those of us who own them and like them will stock up on ammo at every opportunity because they did exactly what they were designed to do.
Walther PD380: An Honest Appraisal
In 2023, Walther launched the PD380, a compact single-stack pistol in .380 ACP. Unlike other guns in Walther's lineup, the PD380 is a retread of the existing PK380. The PK380 kicked off the current trend of modern full-sized .380 pistols some 15 years ago. As a fan of the PK380, I had to get my hands on the new PD380 to see what has changed, what has stayed the same, and whether or not you should spend your hard-earned money on it.
