December’s Carry Gun is a SIG 1911 Scorpion in .45. I was lent it the other day and have enjoyed it so far. I like the subdued earth tones of the Scorpion series. I don’t know if it is Flat Dark Earth or if it’s Coyote Tan, or if it’s Cream of Wheat. I don’t …
Three 1911′s in class. All three are having problems on the third day. Rob Pincus was right.
As mentioned before, I had a little range time this morning. All the Gun Counter Guys met at the range at the Crack of Dawn. Sunrise just coming up, it was a beautiful day at the Buckskin Hills Range. We did a little shooting with the Springfield Armory Rep. Shot an XDM, the XDS, …
Check this out guys. In the last pistol class, we had a young lady attend who trained as hard as she could running a Walther that didn’t want to run. She did her everloving best and got through the course. Today, Dad got her a nice present… a new SIG. Niki was so excited she …

I’m going to throw down some hate on a gun company favored by many. Kimber. They freaking suck. Kimber is backlogged so deep, ordering anything from them is freaking useless. The little Solo pistol they put out is virtually vaporware as we’ve had some on order since last summer and still haven’t seen any. We …
Springfield Armory has discontinued my #1 favorite 1911…. The beloved GI model. I am a saddened Ogre.
According to the Military Times, the US Marines are looking to officially pick up an off the shelf 1911 for it’s MARSOC program. The choice is between the Colt Rail Gun and the Springfield MC Operator. Between the two, I’d pick the Springfield in a heartbeat. Springfield has shown consistent quality control and a commitment …
NPR has an interesting story. “How the Glock became America’s Weapon of Choice.” Granted, it’s my Choice, but is it America’s Gun? As far has handguns go, it is very popular with Law Enforcement on the Municipal level. But on the Fed level, it’s the SIG. In civilian sales, we have the XD and the Beretta …
