New from Springfield Armory is the SA-16A2, a semi-automatic "retro" take on the classic M16-A2 rifle. Just like its iconic forebearer, the SA-16A2 has a 16 inch barrel with a 1:7 inch right hand twist, with a gas block with a front sight post and bayonet lug near the front. The barrel is covered with a polymer fore end with integrated aluminum heat shield, and at the muzzle end there is an A2 flash hider. Read More

But, as a citizen looking for a carry load, how much emphasis should you place on the results?

I currently teach several different classes that help people make a decisive first decision in the amount of space and time that is available in a potentially violent encounter, but it does not stop there. What if that first decision does not work out as you planned? You need to be able to rework the problem immediately and cycle to other solutions very quickly. Read More

We were working a media event, shooting a very nice, small, semi-automatic pistol. At close range, something like 5 yards, one of the writers was grouping his shots well to the left of center. I started to explain to him that guns with small grips could easily shift in our hands if we didn't have a firm hold on them. This fellow quickly informed me that he was an expert and certainly knew how to shoot a gun properly. Read More

A while back, I reviewed the Safariland IncogX holster for the Glock G17, which showcased its ability to conceal a full-frame firearm discreetly, comfortably and with minimal printing. But, most people don't carry a full-size gun every day. So, how well does the IncogX handle a more typical concealed carry pistol? For science (of course), I picked up another one, this time for my Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm pistol, and after a few weeks of carrying it daily, I feel I can give a thorough review of this quality concealed-carry holster.

Springfield Armory launched the Garrison line of 1911s in .45 ACP in 2021, and added a 9 mm variant the following year. New for 2024 is the Commander-length version of the Garrison 1911, offering a more concealed-carry friendly pistol for those who prefer the 1911 platform for their defensive handgun. It's a little easier to conceal, whether inside- or outside-the-waistband, while still retaining the excellent 1911 characteristics that make it a joy to shoot. Read More
