My Security 380 came in at $298+$15 4473 fee. It came with one 10 and one 15 round magazine, loader and paperwork. I am doing a comparison with my other two 380's. A Smith & Wesson 380 EZ, and a Beretta 84F. The basic pistol size is very similar in all 3. From beavertail to muzzle the S&W...

I have been working on this used RIA 1911 Ultra FS HC for about a month and finally got it where I want it. I came in the box and 3-14 round magazines, bushing tool, cleaning brush, and manual. My cost off gunbroker was $458. The previous owner either shot it in competition or shot enough to...

I've owned a few Colt clones over the years, this time I decided to try a few Remington clones. The Remington 1890 is on the top, the 1875 is on the bottom. The 1890 weighs 39.3 oz's, the 1875 weighs 42.1 oz's. These are both 6 shot in 45 colt. One of the differences between the colt clones...

I have been through 5-320's over the last 4 years, Never quite found the perfect fit. The AXG classic was pretty close, but the trigger left a bit to be desired. I took a chance on this one during a Gunbroker auction. Couldn't believe I won it for $525. Getting any AXG Sig for under $800 to...

I hadn't realized how hard it would be to find a Beretta 84F. This is probably due to this model only being made in 1990, and having a slight issue with the decocker safety. The issue is it can be almost put on safe and still fire. There are 3 steps to the safety and only should be two. But...

Well it was time to retire my PT145 as a backup carry/truck gun. Nothing wrong with it, just wanted a newer platform and a better trigger. Kinda odd packaging, like folding out a diorama. The pistol comes with a 13 and a 15 round magazine. This cost me $324 OTD. This MC2C is very Glock like...

If you add a pistol, a sight, and a spare magazine. Then kinda. The claim to fame here is its ability to fold and stow the rig in a medium backpack. But lets back up a bit. So what is this thing? The CAA MCK is a mostly plastic conversion kit for your pistol. So far I see (p320,M&P,Glock, and...

I have been collecting big bore revolvers this year. Replacing lesser quality revolvers with top of class revolvers. I've already reviewed my 3 new Ruger revolvers ( 2 Redhawks and one GP100). The last revolver to replace was my older Taurus Judge that I was using for 45LC work. Enter a major...

I recently picked up two new Rugers to upgrade my revolver collection. I replaced my Taurus Raging Bull with a long barrel Redhawk. Then I replaced my Taurus 44 tracker with a Redhawk 4". Finally I replaced my Taurus 627 with today's review gun, A new GP100 7 shot 357 magnum. . The GP100 comes...

I am on a roll with big bores this summer. My latest acquisition is a new Redhawk in 4". It will keep my older ( 1988 ) but new to me Redhawk 7" hunter from getting lonely. A full review will be coming after I replace the grip and smooth out the action. I have two minor complaints. Ruger changed...

I usually have some kind reason to post about a firearm. But just decided to pick a few from the collection and shoot a little for fun. So I stood in front of the pistol racks and held them until I came up with two pistols to take out on a hot summer evening date. Boy the 1911 with that 2lb...

Begins like so many of my gun stories. I am always on the prowl for something interesting and at a good price. My fav LGS often fulfills that desire and did it once again. There it was down on the bottom shelf kinda hiding, this sweet Jericho 941 FS9 compact. For a good price of $399 I could...

I recently picked up a used M&P 15-22 pistol for darn near a steal. I won the GB auction for $315. Bought an Ozark Armory red/green dot for $45. My total outlay so far is $415. This little laughing monkey weighs 67.6 oz's as shown, or 4.2 lbs. The trigger pull after a little polish/clean/lube...

My LGS buddy and I started talking about loading 410 on his new press. I mentioned that loading a good 410 for a Judge, might be a great use for his press. While he doesn't want to take on liability for manufacturing ammo, it did interest him. So I kinda in a non serious fashion began to look...

I seem to be leaning towards fun guns lately. A Judge ultralite ( full review coming ), Big bore 45's, lightweight 22LR AR's etc..SO to continue my silliness, I started looking for a Redhawk in 44 to add to my collection. My goodness have you seen the prices on Redhawk's...ouch. So I kept...

I recently picked up a new CZ P10F in 45 in a GB auction for $411. This is at least for now a unicorn in the US. Very few have been sent to distributors this year. One CZ rep said 500 units for US total. Not sure what to believe, but it is a shame, because this puppy can shoot. The P10F in 45...

Well it sure isn't like adjusting iron sights, but I figured it out: First you gotta figure out where you want your dot to be on the glass, I chose a lower third as a reference. Then its just adj up or sideways depending. Since I chose the lower third, I had to run the up adjuster almost to the...

Been interested in Canik's newer models, skipped the METE's and decided to go all in on the new Canik competition/target pistol. Told myself I would purchase if the prices came down a bit. I found this one for $625 including tax and shipping. The Canik Rival is a 5" competition pistol that...

While the Beretta M9 and 92x series have gotten all the attention the last several years, The lowly PX4 kept chugging along as a hidden favorite of a few fudds. I have had sooo much fun collecting 92's, I decided to put feelers out for a nice but different PX4 to upgrade and test. Once again...

Ole Silverstring fell prey to an old man disease and was laid up for 4 weeks in bed. Surgery and a bit of recovery involved. But am back on my feet ( sort of ). Led singing at church this am (albeit sitting) and still had a little energy left so... I ordered these in few months ago, and they...
