I understand the arguments for Double Action Only. DAO is simpler than DA/SA. You don't have to practice two different trigger pulls. The most important shot is the very first shot. So, missing the first shot because it is different from all subsequent shots (and you neglected to practice...

What are the most pointable handguns of all time? And the concept of ergonomics always go hand in hand with pointability. So, what is the most ergonomically perfect and pointable handgun of all time? On top of this list has to be Colt Single Action Army revolver. The grip didn't have to...

The following list seem to be semi auto pistols which were most copied or whose features were most copied: 1) Colt M1911A1 2) Browning HiPower 3) Walther P38 4) Glock G17 What other oft-copied pistols have I missed? And why do you suppose these pistols were copied so religiously whereas...

Why do you suppose Europeans are content with their 9mm, whereas enough American Police Departments, Government agencies and consumers demand larger calibers so that manufacturers are forced to modify their 9mm pistol designs for 40 S&W, 357 sig, 45 GAP and 45 ACP. I have a 9mm auto-pistol and...

I am of the opinion that revolvers are inherently more accurate. I love my auto-pistols, but facts are facts. I think that revolvers are more accurate for multiple reasons: 1) more powerful cartridges. If you can have longer cartridges, you can pack more powder into them. More power means...

To me if a semi-auto round costs more than 45ACP, it is too expensive. For example, I think 357 sig is too expensive. 45ACP is as effective a man stopper as anything other than a 10mm or something ridiculous like 50AE. And if a revolver round costs more than 357 magnum, I consider it to be...

I have a 686, which has sights which I'm used to. I almost bought a Ruger Vaquero because of the beautiful glossy blue finish on the 45 Long Colt model and the excellent trigger, but one look at the extra tall front sight made me get the 686 instead. How do you aim with those tall front...

Now and then I am bitten by a bug or infected with a heretofore unidentified virus which makes me crave new pistols. It's like a shoe fetish for guys, only less costly. Up to very recently, I've only owned 1911s. But now, I have a CZ and a S&W 686 as well as a 1911. I guess I wised up. It...

Look at my handle and you'll probably conclude that I'm pretty biased. The 1911 is nearly one hundred years old. I know it has problems. In stock form it may not feed certain ammunition well. The extractor may have to be tuned. As originally designed its sights were not very good and the...

Why would anyone buy an HK or a Sig instead of a CZ? Is it the lack of name recognition? Is it because some people prefer plastic over steel? I simply don't understand why CZ's have not gained a bigger following. CZ 75 is as accurate and as reliable as any other auto-loader. It is...
