Shot Show 2023 starts this week in Las Vegas. Here are some new releases that we want to see announced. Did we miss any that you were wanting to see come out this year? Whether it be pistol, shotgun, rifle, handgun, revolver, deringer, semi-auto, or maybe some cool new knife?

Here are our top 5 that we reviewed in 2022!

So, you just bought your new semi-auto pistol and it comes with multiple size backstraps. But you have no idea which one you should choose for it. In today's video review, we show you the basics to help you make the right choice. We hope you find this helpful! If you do, please like, share and subscribe to our channnel!

Today's review is a comparison of two 9mm micro 9 offerings: The Ruger Max-9 Pro and the Taurus GX4. The Taurus is the more affordable option of the two, but the Ruger has its own positives as well. Which would YOU choose?

Commonly referred to as the the H&K P30sk, this model is officially named the HK P30 SKS V3. It is chambered in 9mm and in this full review, we will tell you all about this great hammer fired option that came from Heckler & Koch years before the VP9 came out. And of course, there is range footage included as well.

In today's video, we ask the question: Which would you choose? 10mm or 45 ACP. For this example we show the Springfield Armory XDm and the Springfield XDm Elite. Both are 3.8 Compact versions, so they are easier to conceal than a full size variant, but still have a barrel length of 3.8 inches.

Here is another of my semi recent pocket knife aquisitions. It is a Zero Tolerance #ZTknives 350 TS (Tiger Stripe). It is a little on the bigger side, but also very much on the cool side! It is similar to the ZT Knives Tiger Stripe 301 which was Gibb's knife on the #NCIS TV show. The 350TS appears to have replaced 301TS, since the 301 TS appears to be discontinued now.

And now, today's review is the Glock 41 Gen 4 MOS, chambered in 45 ACP. This full size Glock came with 3 magazines, each mag holding 13 rounds of freedom. This is the optics ready version, just add your own red dot / RMR to the top of the slide using the included plates. Or you can use the adjustable rear and fixed front sights and stay with the plastic "iron sights" instead.

Today's comparison review is about the FN 509C in 9mm and the Smith and Wesson M&P M2.0 SC in 9mm. They are similar in size, capacity, triggers and track records. Which would you choose to carry everyday? (Or would you choose a Glock, LOL!)

In this review, we compare the new Gen 3 version of the 9mm SCCY CPX-2 and the new Smith & Wesson CSX, also in 9mm. Both are hammer fired, both are well known, which one would YOU choose?

One of my newer pocket knives, the OTF style Microtech Ultratech DE. Perfect for Florida where you want something smaller and lightweight for carrying in a pair of shorts nine months a year!

In this review, we compare the bigger brother of the original micro compact to the newest entry in that segment. It is the Sig Sauer P365XL in 9mm and the new Smith & Wesson Equalizer in 9mm. Both are Optics ready and can hold up to 15 rounds in their biggest magazine. The Equalizer is the higher capacity successor to the M&P Shield EZ and the P365-XL is the bigger version of the original 9mm SIG P365.

Magpul has now released the MBUS 3 front and rear rifle sights! These are reduced in size from the earlier MBUS: 0.44 inch high when folded and 1.15 inch at it widest point and sits at standard AR height when deployed. They are constructed of impact resistant polymer, have the same spring loaded system as the earlier version and has tool-less adjustments.

In today's review, we compare the Glock 19 Gen 5 to the Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Compact chambered in 9mm. The two are great choices for IWB concealed carry and are both very popular choices for a good reason - You can't go wrong with either choice it seems. They are about the same size, both are good shooters at the range, both are 9mm, hold 15 rounds in each, each offers larger capacity magazine choices as well as optic ready choices availability. If you had to choose just one, which would YOU pick?

Looking for a good AIWB holster? Need a spare mag carrier with it as well? Check out the new SIDETUCK kydex IWB holster from Vedder Holsters! Made in USA, and even better, made here in Florida.

Todays review is on the ProTuck by Vedder Holsters, a Florida based holster manufacturer! They were kind enough to send us two of them, one for a Glock 43 (for Striker) and one for a Springfield Hellcat OSP (for Hammer). These are usually used for strong side carry inside the waistband (IWB) concealed carry, and after using it, they are as comfortable as others say! They are of course available for a wide range of firearms, in many colors and options.

This new Smith & Wesson Equalizer is a follow up to the S&W M&P Shield EZ 9mm that came out not too long ago. This is chambered in 9mm, comes with 3 different mags (10, 13 & 15 round capacity), available with thumb safety if you want one, has a better trigger, better grip safety, and . . . It is Optic Ready!

The BlackbeardX (Blackbeard X) now incorporating the MantisX (Mantis X) into the Blackbeard magazine. This gives you the best of both worlds in one set of hardware: Laser Training with an auto-resetting trigger, along with movement tracking. A great training tool for any enthusiast!

The brand new Smith & Wesson Equalizer in 9mm First Look review. I am impressed with the trigger and the looks so far. I still have to clean and oil it and take it to the shooting range to get hands on with it there. But so far I am liking what I see. Comes with 3 mags holding 10 rounds, 13 rounds and 15 rounds. They also include a Maglula Uplula for loading the magazines. And it is Optics Ready as well. It is a nice upgrade to the original 9mm M&P Shield EZ pistol. Look for our full review on this as well as some comparison reviews coming soon!

The new S&W CSX is a metal frame, hammer fired 9mm semi auto and so is the SIG P938, but which one do you think is a better choice for EDC?

In this comparison review, we compare the new Kimber R7 Mako to the Springfield Armory Hellcat OSP. They are both micro compact 9mm entries in the concealed carry segment of the market. Only one can win this face off, but which one?

The Gen 5 Glock 23, chambered in 40 S&W. This 40 Smith and Wesson Glock Gen 5 features a slightly thicker slide which aids in recoil mitigation, which is always a good thing. We recently reviewed the larger Glock 22 Gen 5, and this is its smaller version, a Glock 19 size, which Glock calls "compact" size. Is this the best Glock? Is this the best CCW? Is this the best 40 cal handgun, firearm or pistol? What do you think?

This Or That? 9mm or 45 ACP? In this case, it is the Glock 26 Gen 5 and the Glock 30 Gen 4. The G26 holds 10 rounds and the G30 holds 9 rounds. Let us know which YOU would pick!

As promised, here is the comparison of the three commonly available 5.7x28 handguns: FN Five-seveN, Ruger 57 and Palmetto State Armory 5.7 Rock! And we installed three different red dot choices on them and will begin the video focusing on those three before we move on the pistol differences. The three red dots are all 3 to 3.25 MOA. They are the expensive Trijicon RMR, the lesser known medium priced Burris Fast Fire 4 with a metal frame, and the less expensive and well known Vortex Venom.

Here is a quick peek at the optics that were chosen for the three different 5.7x28 pistols that are available today. (FN Five-seveN, Ruger 57 and PSA 5.7 Rock) Look for the full video on Friday morning, see you then!
