Saturday, March 1st, 2014(Riehlized SIG P229-1 and Hill People Gear Runner's Kit Bag) When will the P229 have its first stoppage? We're going to do this a little differently this time. The gun will be purposely abused by doing no cleaning and no lubrication unit it finally has its first stoppage. And it's already had 640 rounds through it ...

2014: The Year from Left Field
Friday, February 7th, 2014There are many (hundreds... of thousands...) like it, but this one is mine. My 2014 gun, the SIG P229R-9. It's already on its way to a shop for some minor tuning. But right out of the box, no cleaning no lube, the double action was smooth at nine pounds six ounces and ...

As mentioned last time, I've switched to the Wilson Bulletproof 9mm slide stop. It dropped right in and has proven 100% reliable over ...
Springfield/Warren 9mm 1911 Endurance Test: Report #29
Saturday, October 12th, 201354,287 14 stoppages 0 malfunctions 4 parts breakages Another 4,000 rounds have sailed down the pipe since the last update with very little to report, really. I'm definitely liking the 10-8 flat trigger. Other than sights and mag catch, the new trigger was the first real change I've made to the gun. The overtravel adjustment is probably ...
Myth: Perfect Barrel
Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013One of the most common myths I've heard repeated throughout the shooting world has been the importance of a perfect barrel. At matches, during law enforcement testing, and even around the water cooler with engineers at gun companies it seems like many people consider the barrel of a pistol as ...
