Random photo found online. Looks like a Glock magazine that was in a fire or out of battery detonation? Considering the amount of swelling of the full metal liner, I think the rounds were cooked off in a fire and pushed their way out of the magazine body. Not sure what [Read More…]

We all have a box – or perhaps a closet – brimming with discarded holsters. Whatever it is that disqualifies them, be it comfort, height, visibility, or something else entirely, they are so low on our to-use list they don’t even warrant a place in or [Read More…]
Do we really need a new division in 3-Gun? As you can imagine, there are arguments on both sides of the position. I have not been doing 3-Gun that long relatively (and honestly am not that good at the competition aspect). I have a shotgun with a front fiber post, a [Read More…]
If you want to start an endless conversation, ask some friends: “What’s the most reliable gun on the market?” Your Glock buddy will chime in, your 1911 fanatic won’t stop talking, and your odd-ball, range buddy will yell about his Hi-Point. So how about them [Read More…]
Wondernines are semi-automatic, high capacity 9mm handguns that truly brought an end to the revolver as a police service pistol in the United States.

Shane posted this in a Facegroup Page to show the kind of garbage that shows up in his local area. George Yanosh is trying to trade his modified Hipoint 9. He says he undercut the trigger guard. I don’t think it means what he think it means. LOL He did not [Read More…]

Rafael of Eagle Imports brought a plethora of pistols to Big 3 East. I will be honest, I did not think much of Bersa until I got to see them first hand. I relegated Bersa handguns to something just higher than Hi-Point and Kel-Tec pistols. Inexpensive and they work but [Read More…]
