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 …

The GLOCK 19X is the civilian version of the pistol GLOCK submitted to the recent military challenge to become the US Army’s chosen sidearm. It is, in a word, a combo-pistol. It combines the full-size frame (G17) and the compact slide (G19) into a single pistol which comes with two 17 round magazines. The pistol includes …
I’ve bided my time and patiently waded through the myriad posts about the new Gen5 GLOCK. Some have said it’s no big deal, others have derided GLOCK with, “I thought it was perfection??” Let me provide the bottom line to the new generation. If we go back to the Gen3 release, everyone saw it as …

The 1873 Winchester rifle (or carbine) was the “gun that won the West.” The movie is pretty good and the rifle is awesome. It was a great benefit to have the same caliber rifle as the handgun you were carrying. Colt’s single action army (SAA) in 44-40 was a great match to the Winchester 1873 …

I have a SIG P226 with the anchor on the slide. For those in the know, this is the combat firearm the US Navy Seals have been using for some 30 years. When the US Army chose the Beretta 92F, the Seals said, “No thanks, we’ll take the SIG.” I love the gun. It’s a …
Like my father, of blessed memory, I have a pump shotgun behind the bedroom door. Just in case. Bump in the night sort of thing. I love that sound. Don’t you? The poor thing’s been sitting there for years (truth be told, probably 15 years or more) without being touched. I recognize that’s a good …
That was the headline on Jennifer Chaussee’s Science article in WIRED Magazine on October 2, 2015. This is a common ploy, or mistake, made by those in the media and our own neighbors. Ms. Chaussee is comparing an inanimate object (gun) to a person (terrorist.) This is a category mistake, making the sentence illogical. Here’s an example to show how ridiculous …
