We had this question asked recently in a comment on a video, would I choose the Ruger LCP Max over the Glock 42 for travel, now that I have had the LCP Max for a year. Both are chambered in 380 ACP.

Quick review for you today on the new micro 9 from FN, the FN Reflex. This is not the optic ready MRD version, as I was unable to find one anywhere, so I settled for this version in FDE.

Recently updated, the Springfield Armory XDm is now the XDm Elite. It features new slide serations, removable magwell, ambi slide release, ambi mag release and is Optics Ready for your favorite red dot / RMR. And if you find one with the GEAR UP promotion, like I did, it comes with extra magazines!

Not sure how to open your SIG P365? This is how to do it, whether it is 9mm or 380 ACP. This is for the purpose of routine cleaning, and/or clearing a jam, no modifications will be made to the pistol.

Springfield Armory just sent us a copy of the latest version of their new Hellcat, the Hellcat Pro OSP with threaded barrel! Chambered in 9mm, it uses the same mags as the original Hellcat Pro, is optic ready and is still a lot of fun at the range. BUT . . even more fun now with the ability to add things on the end of your barrel. Look out SIg P365XL!

We had the time to get this new 380 ACP EAA Girsan MC14 T to the range and the results were disappointing. I paid full price for this, so this is my honest owner review. I would recommend this for a collector, but I would not try to have my Mom try to operate this, let alone rely on it as her primary self defense weapon. But, for the collector, such as Hammer and myself, it is a neat item to try out, because of it's tip up barrel. I do not think I will keep it long term though, because for the price point that it is at, I expect a lot less problems / short comings.

We filmed (and edited) this review as part of our full review on the 5 inch Springfield Prodigy video, but then that review got too long, so we split it off into its own video. And then we forgot to release it, so here it is now!! #surefire #uspsa #9mm

New release from EAA, the Girsan MC14 T is chambered in .380 ACP, comes withh just one 13 round magazine and has a tip up barrel for easy loading and unloading. They JUST started showing up last week and we were able to snap up one.

In today's video review, we add some bling to the Hi Point JXP-10. Red dot, rail, new grips, etc! Check out our PLAYEUR version for more stuff not shown on YouTube, including installation tips and problems encountered! The actual installation work is not shown here as it is no longer allowed, showing red-dots and fancy grips is allowed just not showing the work.

New for 2023, the Ruger Super Wrangler is not a Jeep, but it is chambered in 22 LR and 22 WMR. It comes from the factory with both cylinders, so swapping the "wheel" is very quick and you don't have to wait for the 2nd cylinder to ship to you from the factory. As of the publish date of this review, it is available in three color choices.

Need a little help deciding between a Subcompact 9mm pistol or a Micro Nine? The Micro 9 (or Micro Compact) offerings from various manufacturers (whether it is Glock or Springfield Armory or Canik or Smith & Wesson or FN, etc.) have many advantages but they also have some disadvantages as well. The same is true of the sub compact 9mm handgun choices.

Here is a brief comparison review of the Glock 21 and the even bigger Glock 41. Both are chambered in 45 ACP and both are Gen 4 versions.

When I purchased my Walther PDP F-Series recently, there was a promotion from Walther happening which gave purchasers a free red dot optic for their brand new Walther. You just had to go to their website to claim it. It just arrived recently, and here is the review as promised. It is a 3.5 MOA Ameriglo Haven red dot. The Playeur version (UTREON) of this video will contain installation, which is very easy.

Which should you choose? The old polymer frame version or the new metal frame? Both are M2.0 from the Smith & Wesson M&P line of 9mm and both are the Full Size frame.

In this review, we compare a Glock 28 Gen 3 chambered in .380 ACP to a Glock 26 Gen 5 chambered in 9mm. One has has less recoil, the other one delivers a harder punch. Which do you prefer?

Want a higher capacity 380 than what is offered by the Glock 42? Here it is! TALO has ordered 10,000 of these from Glock USA to be made in Smyrna, Georgia, with an option to order an additional 10K if they want them. This is the Gen 3 version that has been available elsewhere for many years. It is roughly the size as a Glock 26, but is chambered in the softer recoiling .380 ACP instead of 9mm or 40 S&W (Glock 27).

In this review, we compare the New for 2023 Canik METE MC9 to the Mossberg MC2SC. A couple of viewers had mentioned this for a video idea, and here it is, You Asked For It! They are both 9mm offerings in the newer Micro 9 category that includes things like the Springfield Hellcat and Sig Sauer P365, etc. Which one would YOU choose?

Smith and Wesson Shield Plus meets the new Canik METE MC9. Both of these Micro 9 offerings at least 10 rounds of 9mm in their flush fit magazines, with larger capacity ones available as well. In this head to head review, we try to determine a winner. Which would YOU choose?

Watch for our full review of this Glock 28 which is now made in the USA. It is chambered in .380 ACP and holds 10 rounds in its little grip. The G28 is a Gen 3 (Gen3 or Gen-3 or Generation 3). Once we are able to get it to the range, we will have range footage for you, as well as the usual table top portion in the upcoming video. Looks like it will be good for concealed carry.

It's not only for females! If you have smaller hands, the F series PDP from Walther may be a good choice for you. Also, if you want to conceal carry a Walther, and you cannot find a Walther PPQ SC, this 3.5 inch barrel version may be a lettle easier to carry than the larger versions. Except, the grip is still the same size. As of Early April 2023, this is the smallest Walther PDP available.

As requested, we compare two popular plinkers in today's review: the Diamondback Sidekick and the Ruger Wrangler. The Diamondback is chambered in 22lr and has an additional 22 magnum cylinder as well. This particular Ruger is the TALO edition with birdshead grip. It is available with the gunslinger grip like the Diamondback as well. Ruger also JUST announced a Super Wrangler that is chambered in 22 lr and 22 WMR just like the Sidekick. Either choice is great for cheap fun at the range!

The original Walther CCP came out about 7 years ago, then they came out with the M2 version which made the takedown a lot easier for cleaning. Then they came out with the 380 ACP version, which is what we review today on the table.

I think that I have fixed the issue (problem / defect) with my new Canik METE MC9 that I was having when I tried to barney a round and then use the 12 round magazine. It seems like it is a break-in period issue that caused the problems.

Here is the full review of the new micro 9 from Canik. It is chambered in 9mm, comes with a 12 round magazine as well as a 15 rd mag. It is Optic Ready, has changeable backstraps, davetailed saights and it even comes with a polymer holster in the box. This is in the same size class as the Springfield Hellcat, SIG P365, Taurus G3C, Ruger Max-9 and others. We did experience one type of issue with it, but NOT the slide not in battery that others have noticed.

Not sure if this issue will work its way out with more use, but hopefully it will. If you try to prepare this NEW For 2023 9mm handgun as you would for carry, which is having it loaded to 12 plus 1, it malfunctions in ejecting the 1st empty casing and cannot self load for the 2nd shot, casing the slide to jam. It only happens with the 12 round (flush fit) magazine. As usual, please test your pistol before trusting it for carry. Not sure if there is a flaw with the magazine, or maybe the springs just need to set themselves with more use, but I will try to remember to update you when I am able to put a lot more rounds down range.
