Guns In Movies: Glock 17

December 27, 2016 by Kevin 9 Comments

I mentioned in last week's Guns In Movies feature that the Beretta 92FS was ubiquitous. However, its presence in popular media is surpassed by this week's Guns In Movies firearm: the Glock 17 9mm pistol. History Because of the popularity of this handgun, much of its history is already familiar. But, for those less well-versed in Glock lore, I'll share an abbreviated history … [Read more...]

Guns In Movies: Beretta 92FS

December 24, 2016 by Kevin 33 Comments

Today, let's take a closer look at the ubiquitous Beretta 92FS pistol. History Beretta first produced the 92 series pistols in 1976. However, the original 92 pistol design didn't stay unchanged long. The same year, Beretta swapped the frame-mounted safety for a slide-mounted safety/de-cocker and called it the 92S. In 1981, Beretta made the safety/de-cocker ambidextrous, added … [Read more...]

Weird Gun Wednesday: The Steyr-Hahn M1912

June 22, 2016 by Nate Granzow 13 Comments

I doubt this is going to be an argument that will cease any time soon. I want to add my 2 cents on what might be going on here.

Colt M45 – Now Available for Civilians

June 4, 2016 by Kevin 12 Comments

Colt is making the M45 available for civilian purchase. According to Fraher, it's Colt's goal to ramp up production to 80 pistols per month to start making the M45 accessible for non-military consumers. The Colt M45 marketed to the general public is, essentially, the same model being manufactured for MARSOC. The pistol's features include a mil-spec 1913 Picatinny rail and … [Read more...]

US Military Replacing the Beretta M9? – What Would You Choose?

July 7, 2014 by Kevin 74 Comments

After twenty-five years, the US Military has decided it's high time to put the battered Beretta M9 pistol to pasture and make way for a completely new sidearm, gun, gear, and all. Like all machines, gun parts eventually fail. In fact, the first two years of the M9's military service saw several examples of catastrophic failures in the locking block resulting in the slide … [Read more...]
