One of the most challenging issues to solve when considering a pistol for concealed carry is managing the trade off between size and capacity. On the one hand, selecting a handgun with a small footprint for CCW makes it easier to conceal (and therefore, less likely to print). However, smaller guns simply don't have the room to carry as many rounds as larger pistols. Finding the … [Read more...]
The scene is Las Vegas, NV. The event is my first first SHOT Show experience. I, a shy female shooter, only newly introduced to the wide, and varied firearms culture outside of my own upbringing, was absolutely agape. Nothing could have prepared me for the sea of humanity surrounding thousands of islands of every piece of shooting, hunting, or outdoor gear I never even knew … [Read more...]

Our military has held its current standard weapons inventory for a couple decades with very little deviation. The … [Read more...]
If you're looking for a high quality production sidearm, you may want to look into SIG Sauer's classic P226. The SIG Sauer P226 Platinum Elite takes the time-tested Navy SEAL sidearm to the next level. The military and law enforcement community are no strangers to the many P226 variants. Indeed, the P226 MK25 (or P226 Navy) is still one of the sidearm options issued to Navy … [Read more...]
