Taurus 22/25 PLY Pocket Pistols
The Taurus 22PLY and 25PLY in polymer frames make the already light guns into super-light guns weighing only 10.8 oz. Both models feature a blowback action and tip-up barrel design for the added convenience of not having to rack the gun before shooting. Â The reverse fish-scale serrations on the slide add to the sleek look of the gun. Â The extended magazine base and full body contouring provides a larger, improved and more comfortable grip. Â The trigger guard is designed for added finger purchases. Â The magazine release is conveniently located on the trigger guard for quick changes. Â Taurus is constantly mindful of safety and has incorporated the magazine disconnect and a manual safety on the 22PLY and 25PLY. More info at taurususa.com
Kahr to Introduce CM40 in Spring of 2012
From Gun Up:
The CM4043 is chambered in a .40 S&W caliber, has a 3.0″ barrel and an overall length of 5.47″, with a height of 4.0″. The pistol weighs in at 15.8 ounces plus 1.9 ounces for the stainless steel magazine. Differences between the CM models and PM models include: the CM4043 has a conventional rifled barrel instead of the match grade polygonal barrel on Kahr’s PM series; the CM slide stop lever is MIM (metal-injection-molded) instead of machined; the CM series slide has fewer machining operations and uses simple engraved markings instead of roll marking; and finally, the CM series are shipped with one magazine instead of two magazines.
P238 Mandatory Safety Upgrade
From: Â SIG SAUER July 2009
 
SIG SAUER, Inc. has initiated a Mandatory Safety Upgrade pertaining to our new Model P238â„¢ pistols. We have determined that a small number of P238 pistols may have safety levers that are not manufactured to factory specifications. Under certain conditions, it may be possible for the lever not to be completely engaged in the safe position. In this condition, the gun will not fire when the trigger is pulled. However, when the safety lever is moved to the off position, the hammer may fall, with the remote possibility that the gun could fire unintentionally, thus creating a risk of injury or death. Please note: does not affect ANY of the 27Axxxxxx serialized pistols. More…
James Yeager: 1911s are like Strippers and Glocks are like Fat Girls
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Colt, Glock, Handguns, Opinion on 14/Dec/2011 19:58
We’re sure he’ll stir up some “discussion” with these two points:
1. 1911s are like Strippers and Glocks are like Fat Girls
2. Why he chooses 9mm over 45
Glock vs. M&P vs. XD – Which is the best?
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Glock, Handguns, Opinion, Smith & Wesson, XD on 16/Nov/2011 02:26
Opinions about the Glock vs MP vs XD
“It has been a while since we explored the differences between these three popular carry (CCW) pistols. This is a long look at lots of details and why I perfer the Smith & Wesson M&P over the Glock and why I don’t like the Springfield XD, but why I understand why some people do.”
Ruger LCP .380 Review
From My Gun Culture:
The Ruger LCP is a well made pistol and we found that makes a noticeable difference on the range. Yes, it’s technically one of those guns to carry a lot and shoot far less frequently, but we were pleasantly surprised by its ergonomic friendliness over long shooting sessions. No, we would not want to crank off a few hundred rounds of high-pressure self defense ammo at a single sitting, but shooting lower recoil practice loads exhibited a low level of self abuse.
