Sig Sauer P320 M17 9mm. Will it unseat the Stoeger STR9 as my new favorite full size 9mm? It’s good!
The modern US military 9mm is really good. Great ergo’s, ambi features, big sights, rail…
Can it unseat the Stoeger STR9 as my favorite full size 9mm that I own? It’s a tight race.
The Stoeger is about half the price, mags are way cheaper, and besides the ambi features, and no manual safety on the Stoeger, they both can server the same exact purpose.
I like them both for different reasons. The Sig is really good though…

The vintage Marlin 45 ACP PC Carbine that uses 1911 magazines. The Model 45 Camp carbine.
Переглядів 16 тис.День тому
The Marlin 45 Camp Carbine was made from 1985-1999. I believe it was a bit ahead of its time- people were not really into PC Carbines yet, the Beretta CX4 was one of the others available at the time which was also a weird PC Carbine. This classic uses 1911 magazines which makes it a perfect setup for a Rifle and pistol pairing with a 1911, also makes a good pairing for a same caliber rifle and ...

These are great budget friendly, well made, accurate and reliable rifles. The best ones are the “JM” marked barrels made before the New Jersey gun ban days- they had 22” barrels with 18 1 capacity . Some in the late 80’s and early 90’s had last shot bolt hold opens. The newer “ban” models often still have “JM” marked barrels up into the 1990’s, but have 18” or 18.5” barrels and 14 1 round capac...

This has been in the bowels of my safe for a while, time to get it out and see the light of day. Not a lot about these online. As near as I can figure this was made during a time when S&W parent company also owned Rossi and Taurus, and there were some crossover pistols between the three brands.

Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 - an improved Bodyguard 1.0? Or a totally new breed? It’s really good

Comparing the bodyguard 2.0 to the bodyguard 1.0, and doing a review of the 2.0. This gun is a departure from the old 1.0 bodyguard and is a fantastic firearm. It is more a kin to an MNP full-size that has been shrunk down then anything similar to what the bodyguard 1.0 was.

Its sad when the only gun company that puts out pro-2A patriotic product videos is a German owned company rather than a domestic US company. The whole gun industry is rotten and always has been never caring about 2A rights from Smith to Ruger to Springfield to RRA and so on. Just look at their history of bartering gun rights from the GCA and NFA on down. They care more about domestic manufacture and profit. Not the 2A or gun rights. Its always been that way.
