Can the P226 really be improved upon? With the P320 winning the MHS contract, and the ever encroaching polymer framed, striker fired only handguns slowing taking over the market, is there really a lot left to compete against with the venerable P226 design? Sig Sauer [Read More…]

Suppress everything – That’s my motto. Even though the popularity of the .45ACP round is waining somewhat, due in large part to the performance of modern 9mm rounds, no one in their right mind would pass up the chance to launch 230 grain bullets quietly. [Read More…]
