Staccato [stəˈkädō] Performed with each note sharply detached or separated from the others; the sound of rapid-fire pistol shots. A quick history of handgun types is a fairly short list. The revolver kicked off the sidearm craze in the late 19th century. In fact, the Smith & Wesson Model 10 is the longest actively manufactured […]
This is an exciting time! I finally got the ROMEO Zero optic to go on my SIG Sauer P365 XL. It had been ordered from Optics Planet in August of last year. I must say, it looks spanky! The texture on the sides of the optic match perfectly with the texture on the grip module.

Major Boothroyd: [to M, referring to Bond’s Beretta] Nice and light… in a lady’s handbag. M: Any comment, 007? James Bond: I disagree, sir. I’ve carried the Beretta for
I’m often asked what the best concealed carry handgun is. The answer is simple: the one you will carry. I know many, many CCW/CHP permit holders. Only a small handful actually carry every day. Some are not permitted to carry at work but fail to carry everywhere except at work. Some don’t believe that self-defense is
