For the past two years, I’ve running my SHOT Show coverage solo, but you’ll see a new face this year.   More or so, Matt will be behind the camera, hopefully providing better opportunities [...]

Kel Tec P3AT .380 ACP – A Review

The P-3AT (pee-three-eighty) is a semi-automatic, locked breech pistol, chambered for the .380 Auto cartridge. It has been developed from our highly successful P-32 pistol with negligible increase in weight and size. The slidestop has been eliminated and the magazine capacity reduced to 6 rounds due to the larger cartridge. The firing mechanism is double [...]

Adding bling to the Brazilian turd of a gun it is.

Tyler T-Grip

Adding bling to the Brazilian turd of a gun it is. My T-Grip arrived, unexpectedly, earlier this week.  It’s been so long I just assumed the check got lost in the mail, which I never bothered to confirm.  Yeah.  That was about 8 months ago. Hsoi:  My wait was longer than yours.  I was so [...]
