The Glock 19 is imperfect. There’s nothing wholly controversial here in this statement. But the G19 is effective. How else would it have risen to its current place at the top of both Duty and EDC guns? Its imperfections, though, have allowed aftermarket parts companies to thrive. Lone Wolf has long been at the top of the Glock mod list.

Back in the late 1970s, Stretch Armstrong was a massive hit with kids like me. The goo-filled rubber wrestler could be stretched out to ridiculous lengths. Actually, that was Stretch Armstrong’s only trick. Someone at Sig Sauer may have had one of these as a kid, as I can clearly see the influence in the latest evolution (and longest version yet) of Sig’s P365 family: The P365 Fuse. The Sig Sauer P365 (3.1″) was a true micro-compact with solid capacity.

There’s something nostalgic about an underfolder. For me, it evokes Red Dawn and my impressionable Cold War-era youth. But there’s not an underfolder in the 1984 Red Dawn (or the 2012 version either, though I haven’t bothered with watching that one). As close as either film comes is a triangle folding stock.

I’m not a gun snob. I carry every pistol I review. This is the first PSA Dagger I’ve carried and the first of their pistols I’ve shot, and now I’m left wondering why I’m so late to the game. After 15 years of writing gun reviews, I’ve shot some dogs. There have been times (some as recently as last month) that I’ve gotten in a gun, taken it to the range, and found so many problems that I couldn’t conscionably write a review.

Springfield’s Prodigy double-stack 1911 has been out for almost two years now. After dismissing the whole 2011/DS 1911 craze for years, I’m finally ready to put in some trigger time with an open mind. It should come as no surprise that I’m reaching the same conclusion most have known for years: these guns are wildly capable. The Double-Stack 1911Some background. Part of what got me into guns was the simple historic appeal of the 1911. Springfield does this homage well with their Mil-Spec 1911.

My gut tells me that this article is going to hit home with two distinctly different groups of shooters: those who have already shot a Staccato 2011 (and these folks don’t need any convincing) and those who still think the entire concept of a $3,000 overbuilt carry gun is ludicrous. Either way, Staccato is a powerhouse that can’t be ignored. I’ll be the first to admit my bias. I had long been a doubter, but not anymore. Now, I just have to find the money and stand in line.

Bear Creek Arsenal has been in business for more than five decades, but they’re just now seriously breaking into the market for semiautomatic rifles and handguns. The BC 101, Bear Creek’s Grizzly, is a double-stack 9mm Glock-inspired handgun that draws inspiration from much more expensive Glock homages. The appeal of Bear Creek begins with the price tag. While I’d usually wait until the end of a review to drop details on cash money, this is the lead, and I’m not going to bury it.

When I pitched this article idea, I had planned on calling it “5 Common AK Issues,” but the more I thought about what I was experiencing, the less sure I was that these issues were in any way common. The AK platform can have its hiccups. Yet, much like the common double-action .38 revolver, the classic AKM has a reputation for being almost foolproof.

There are a few classic American brands that dominate the centerfire hunting rifle market here in the United States. These venerable brands fill a niche—usually at the mid-to-lower side of the price spectrum. And why not? In a recent conversation with a friend who is an FFL, I learned that many of these guns are bought in the run-up to the fall deer seasons, fired less than 20 times, and then pawned shortly before Christmas. For me, this creates a bit of a disturbance in the force.

The P365 family of handguns, Sig Sauer’s EDC powerhouse, is comprised of guns that run perfectly fine in their stock form. Sig has gone to great lengths to add modifications themselves to preempt the onslaught of aftermarket parts and mods. It hasn’t stopped the onslaught, though, and there are some excellent additions that can be made that will improve the way the guns carry and shoot.
