    19-3 incredible shooter

    I just bought a 19-3 last night on Gunbroker that looks to be in mint condition. I can’t wait to see it. The ad said it was manufactured in 1970.

    Can Smith & Wesson compete with the SIG P365?

    Impressed with Spyderco.

    Spyderco knives are awesome. I have carried one for the last 10 years. The first one I had was stolen by the movers during one of my military moves, so I had to order another.

    Sig Sauer Wins US Pistol contract

    I think the Army made a good choice. The Coast Guard switched to the Sig P229 DAK in .40 cal back in 2006. For law enforcement missions, hollow points are used. When conducting a DOD mission, we always had your switch to a ball round in .40 cal. I like the Sig and think it's a great gun. It...
