    Glock - single stack 9mm?

    It's about time that Glock offered a small/slim single stack 9mm. I think it would be an ideal carry pistol. The Glock reputation would virtually guarantee that it would become a big seller. I'm a 9mm guy; it packs enough power and ammo is a lot less expensive than .40 S&W and .45ACP. I...

    Walther PPS (9mm)

    Walther's new PPS (9mm) appears to be smaller than the P22! Have you fired this pistol? If so, what's your take? I tried the Kel-Tec PF9 and didn't like the trigger pull (long and tough). The PPS might become a very popular pistol. Here's the Walther/S&W PPS marketing information...

    Ruger's new SR9

    I was excited to get my hands on Ruger's new SR9 (9mm). It has a very good look and feel. The problem I noticed right away was its rough (uneven) trigger pull. In some ways the SR9 is a fine pistol. And it deviates from the late Bill Ruger's belief that pistol magazines have no more than...

    Did you know this about Springfield Armory?

    Is this common knowledge? This sure fooled me! -------------------- The Defense Department closed Springfield Armory in 1968. In 1974, Springfield Armory...a new company was formed. This company is not located near the former armory site and has no connection with the original national...

    Rohrbaugh Firearms

    Do you have an opinion on the price/value of the Rohrbaugh 9mm pistol? It retails for about $1,000 and seems to have some good reviews. I found it odd that Rohrbaugh recommends that its Recoil Spring be changed every 100 (not 1000 or 10,000) rounds fired! It's just 4.99 plus shipping, but...

    NRA "Golden Eagle"

    Does anyone have experience serving as a NRA Golden Eagle? It costs $200 each year. The NRA is somewhat vague about the role of Golden Eagles on its Web site (support Eddie Eagle Gunsafe program, local events, promote the Second Amendment, etc.) and it lists a number of freebies (cap, pin...
