When you hear the words “custom” and “1911” in the same sentence, does your wallet cringe? For the last 20 years, 1911 fans have had an icon in the form of the Ed Brown Kobra Carry…and recently, the custom 1911 company took their famous high-end, hand-built 1911 pistols to a place few 1911s have gone…
It’s the most wonderful time of the year–when all of the gun manufacturers announce their latest and greatest–and the recent launch of Smith & Wesson’s M&P9 Shield EZ handgun is big news. Savvy gun owners know that new guns usually mean new holsters, but who wants to wait for the holster makers to catch up?…
Although Fabrique Nationale hails from Belgium–not a country normally noted for its military prowess–FN’s line of rifles, shotguns, and pistols has a devoted cult following in America. Their smallest and latest addition to their line of FN 509 handguns, the optics-ready FN 509 Compact MRD, just might be the perfect combination of shootability and concealability….
Twenty-five years ago, in 1994, life was different: People were still listening to Ace of Bass, the wave of expanding concealed-carry freedoms was only just starting to pick up steam, and Kahr Firearms Group had just introduced a stainless-steel duty gun that would become an instant classic, the K9. Standing in contrast to the…
It’s your right and mine…but that doesn’t mean I have to use that right. About five years ago, the NRA released a statement about open carry that quickly had the gun-owning community up in arms (pun intended. Sue me). A critique of people who were open-carrying their guns as part of protests in Texas, the…
Taurus, the Brazil-based gun manufacturer, just announced that the latest extension to their G-series line is shipping to dealers now and will be available to consumers within the next few days. The gun, called the G3, is a full-sized 9mm striker-fired pistol that the company created in response to shooters who wanted to see a…
James Bond may have made the Walther PPK a household name, but the credit for its enduring popularity is due entirely to the company. Part of the formula is innovation, and true to form, Walther just released a new member of their PPK family, a stainless version in .380 ACP. It’s shipping now and should…
I may be hard as woodpecker lips, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love an easy slide. Shooters with arthritis and other hand problems will be excited to learn that SCCY Firearms has recently announced a new semi-automatic handgun designed for concealed carry: the new CPX-4. This pistol, chambered in .380 AUTO, integrates an ambidextrous…
SIG’s anti-snag technology has just taken a step beyond the ordinary. SIG SAUER’s P365 has been changing consumer expectations for what a concealed-carry-optimized handgun should be since its introduction in 2018; its newest iteration on the P365 line, the P365SAS, is set to revolutionize those expectations again. The concept of the SIG Anti Snag (SAS)…
The 1911 is a fantastic firearm, no question, but it can be hard to conceal… The 1911 design has undergone very few significant changes since it was first brought to market over a century ago, and for very much the same reason that sharks haven’t evolved since the Devonian era: They were made perfectly the…
Well, CrossBreed Holsters, I wrote about the SIG SAUER P365XL 10 hot days ago, and you’ve already rolled out a full line of holsters that work with the sized-up (yet still infinitely concealable) CCW-friendly pistol. I’d like to make a “what took you so long” joke here, but it’s really a very impressive display of…
When SIG SAUER introduced their P365 pistol in January 2018, it raised the bar for concealed-carry striker-fired pistols everywhere, hitting the gun-sales charts at #1 with a bullet (so to speak). But SIG refuses to rest on their laurels, and has just released a brand-new version of the P365: the P365 XL. This big brother…
