This holster design is quite clever. The weight of the gun is transferred to the belt, but sitting above the belt it allows greater freedom of movement. The holster is compatible with most compact handguns up to 6.5″ in length. It sells for $70.
S.L.Variant’s speed loaders are now being sold in the US. The speed loader has individual springs for each round, which in theory are better than old big spring. The loader comes in a variety of sizes to accommodate different revolvers.
350 Taiwan dollars (about USD $11.50) will buy you this ridiculous comb. Guns are cool. Things that are shaped liked guns are not. [ Many thanks to Alex for emailing me the link. ]

Browning has introduced a .22 pistol patterned after the 1911. It is about 80% of the size of a regular 1911 (see photo below). It will be available in two sizes, a full-size and a compact. The price intrigues me. It is nearly twice the retail of the GSG 1911 and much [Read More…]
Backyard Safari has blogged about the pistol shooting technique used by Russian officers in the early 20th century. It does not look like a steady shooting stance, nor does it look like it would be fast to get back on target. UPDATE: Apparently this was an April fools [Read More…]

Caleb has reviewed the the Ruger SR9C. I have now been shooting the Ruger SR9c for over 4 months, and have several thousand rounds downrange through the gun in practice and competition. As I’ve mentioned, I’m quite fond of this gun – when I first started shooting [Read More…]
