So, onto the range I take the Sig M18 enhanced by the Icarus Precision ACE SOCOM module. Totally expecting it to be awesome and stupendous…….and the Fire Control Unit(FCU) decides it is time to reach critical mass with all the carbon build up. It was positively crunchy. Pulled it out and doused it with lubricant til it broke loose. And then it ran, and ran and ran. Still not wide open, but accurate. And it ran good enough to measure the difference the Icarus Precision module made in target acquisition and speed firing. Still need to figure out the FCU thing, but it’s a modular pistol. I popped in another one.

So taking the Staccato C2 out to the range...that cannot really be considered work. It is actually a leisure outing. But you can try to cause a few problems here and there, whether on purpose or inadvertent. However suffice to say, Staccato has revolutioned the platform and figured out the consistency and QC issues while retaining the cool factor, and developed into a reliable weapon for carry or duty. That is quite an accomplishment. Find the show at; gcnlive.com locknloadradio.com Coming soon to a radio station near you.

So i made up my mind to carry a Sig M18 with a Holosun EPS and an Icarus Precision ACE SOCOM lower module. A magnificent setup. But then another Staccato C2 came in, same feel, same dimensions. From the Staccato website; From the retired special forces veteran shooting consistent 100-yard shots in sub 4 seconds to the everyday range shooter hitting 25-yard-targets with ease, the C2 provides accuracy never experienced in a compact carry gun. As durable and reliable as the Staccato P, the C2 has become popular among law enforcement. And because it helps you shoot better, it is an excellent choice for both everyday carry and home defense.

The Poly 80 10mm. A grizzly gun, without a doubt. I think I actually prefer 10mm to 45 acp due to its versatility in its various uses. Hunting, self defense, etc, I have carried the 10mm more than once. The Poly 80 frame and grip angle takes care of the only issue I had with the Glock 20. Roger Ward does build an outstanding gun!

So, my biggest issue with a carry gun has been making up my mind. To this end I had to go thru a step or two. I knew daily it was going to be striker fired, despite my love one single action 2011 type pistols. First was the brand. Which brand can I shoot best out of the box? In the course of a Few trips to the range, I figured it was the Sig P320 framed pistol. Next I had to settle on a model. I prefer having guns as compared to have a few modules laying around. But I knew which frame size I preferred pretty quick. The X Carry! But, there weren’t any to be found. But then Kendall Lemons at Deweys Pawn Shop in the upstate of SC called me, and he had an M18 in stock. Now I had everything at hand to make the call. Check it out.

Forgive me for the overly dramatic opening. But it does have some bearing on our current situation. This is the Spikes Tactical Truck Gun, as imagined by Nick Gough, Product developer at Spikes. Coming in 300 Blackout, this is a tight, small, fundamentally superb piece of weaponry. Easily deployed, if needed, in a dire situation if it should arise. Check it out.

Since STI became Staccato, it has been interesting to watch the turnaround happen in real time. I am convinced they are an absolute bargain at their price, and have reinvigorated the 2011 market. But I had never pulled the trigger on a Staccato XL. This was to prove to be an eye opening range day. So I went to buddy, Marks range and we pulled that trigger many times. The XL seems sort of big and clunky until you drive it out and start sending rounds downrange. Then, if you had any questions, well, you get fast answers. Check it out.

Staccato has sponsored me for nearly 4 years this go round. Besides Chamber Customs, It is the only double stack 2011 I will consider for lots of reasons. here, I am in uncharted waters. the Staccato XL. Geared towards competitors....sorta. I see some uses outside of the arena that I think this gun is suited for. Here is the 1st look. Find the show at; gcnlive.com locknloadradio.com Coming soon to a radio station near you.

Ahh the lever gun. Iconic symbol of the west. It has been rediscovered and now sports a very modern look and some consider it to be just as functional a self defense weapon as in the past. And it is changing, with a cottage industry that sprung up to modernize the look and function. Here is my Henrys X. In 45-70, modded with parts from Ranger Point Precision, XS Sights, and some action work by Roger Ward at Ace Firearms. But there was a problem that was occurring during live fire, and I, as a lever gun newbie had to figure this out. So here is that story.

What Glock should be(Shadow Systems) vs what Glock could be (Taran Tactical Innovations). Not really a comparison. The TTI gun is a completely dialed in custom gun shaped by countless hours of shooting in competition and training. The Shadow Systems gun is a very viable alternative to the Glock platform, with a superior grip and ergonomics, but falls short of keeping up with the Combat Master. as usual your mileage may vary, but this was a fun afternoon.

Glock is fast becoming a very cloned platform. Roger Ward takes a Poly 80 frame and manufactures an absolutely epic pistol, complete with all those custom touches, while retaining that Glock reliability. Enter Shadow Systems. No Glock parts at all. Lighter. built off of a pattern, but with a seemingly different perspective. How do these 2 stack up?

Not quite 2 years of waiting, for a one of a kind gun, coming out of the obessively driven gun building shop in the US, Chambers Custom. A 21st century take on the classic, single stack 1911 in 45 ACP. Except classic is a matter of interpretation. Joe Chambers version of classic is enhanced while utilitarian at the same time. This is a pistol that shoots like it is attached to outside force, guiding each round on an uncommonly accurate flight. This is truly a master piece of a handgun.

Ok, the title doesn't tell the whole story. My Henrys X 45-70 "Thumper" has been pulled apart and had the entire action polished and de burred at Ace Firearms. I knew Roger Ward was an excellent builder, but this was a little out of his wheelhouse and he nailed it. But, my Chambers Custom WMG 45 ACP came in today. 1.5 years in the waiting, it is part old school(single stack) and absolutely 21st Century,(very enhanced).

Ok, here we go. Fact finding on this Shadow Systems pistol line, here we have the XR 920. This is actually my preferred pistol, so it needs to dial in completely for this switch to be worthwhile. 400 rds later I come to a conclusion Find the show at; gcnlive.com locknloadradio.com Coming soon to a radio station near you.

I respect John Farnum a great deal. So much so that I would start buying a handgun to carry with just his recommendation. So here we go. Shadow Systems DR 920. An enhanced Glock 17 patterned pistol, meeting my 17 rd threshold, fitting in my Glock holsters, taking my Glock mags. Then I pick it up. It feels like a Glock 17, but from parallel universe, where all the ergos are better. All it has to do now is run at least as good as a Glock 17. Lets us see.

The title is a little misleading. Not a Versus in the sense of competition. More of a comparison with 2 sort of equaly set pistols. The Glock 34, the standard of its type. This one has been dressed nicely and is ready to roll. The Sig P320. New guy one the block in this comparison. But blessed with excellent ergonomics, even in its standard form. Let's go!

Ok. I finally got the Canik TP9 Elite Combat out on the range......and I was a bit underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, the Canik/SAI collaboration is a beautiful gun. Well executed, great finish, solid components. But on the range, in MY hands, It simply didn't work. Take a look.

Optics on a pistol has crossed over from being a gimmick, to being a part of a pistol build. Now that Manufacturers like Glock, Sig, CZ, S&W etc are making their pistols "Optics Ready", it has become apparent no 2 optics mount the same way. Enter C&H Precision. Buck Holly has put together a business that covers the optics adaptable plate segment in its entirety. Got to ride down there and have a couple installed, by Buck Holly himself.
