      First Shots: FNX9 Pistol

      Hello. I recently tried out two different FNX9 9mm pistols. FNX is the successor to Fabrique National's FNP-handgun series. This polymer-framed, double-action semiautomatic sports frame-mounted, ambidextrous thumb safety levers, which double as decockers, and the pistol does permit Condition One...

      Gone Glock

      Hello and I hope that you enjoy your Glock 17 for years to come. For years, I didn't own one, but saw more than a few on various police firing lines when I was a police firearm instructor. I pretty quickly came to see that the things were usually reliable as homemade sin. Eventually, I...

      Bersa Thunder .380

      Hello. I own a Bersa Thunder ("Duo-Tone") .380 ACP as well as an e-nickled copy of its predecessor, the Series 95, in the same caliber. If these relatively inexpensive 380's comfortable to shoot and in both cases, POA matches POI out to about 25 yards, which is as far as I have fired either at...

      Shooting My Old Star Model B Custom...

      Hello. The first handgun I purchased as an adult was an Star Model B in the early '70's. If memory serves, the tariff was about $75.00 or so. I foolishly let that one get away but toward the end of the following decade I was able to buy another Model B from the last production run announced by...

      SS Hi Power question.....

      Hello. The classic Sport Model Hi Power shown is not stainless. The finish shown is electroless nickle. It is a nickle finish that does not require the copper base as does plating. FN has never manufactured a stainless steel Hi Power though their e-nickle and hard chromed Hi Powers do...

      Shooting the 40-Caliber Hi Power...

      Hello. It IS tall. Though I have not handled one, current adjustable sighted Hi Powers have low-mounted rear sights and correspondingly lower front sights. The older ones like these Millett's and the older "beer can" adjustable rears sights both had the high front sights which are sometimes...

      Shooting the 40-Caliber Hi Power...

      Hello. I recently was able to shoot a borrowed 40-caliber Hi Power Standard Model that came with adjustable sights. The pistol was stock. Its owner had made no changes to it in any form or fashion. The 40-caliber Hi Power I shot was this Standard Model that came from the factory with Millett...

      Visited with an Old Friend...

      ...from the 1980's and my early years in the tactical unit! This lightly personalized Mk II was the first Hi Power I was "officially authorized" to carry for both regular duty and tactical call-outs when the police department I worked for allowed autoloaders. (Prior to that, I had sometimes...

      One That's Been Good to Me...

      Hello. I was piddling about the safe just now looking for a particular Browning 9mm Hi Power to take a measurement via an email request I'd received earlier in the day. I got the information for the fellow and replied before returning to wipe down my pistol and relock the safe. I'm not really...

      Fiocchi Extrema 9mm 124 & 147-gr. Ammunition

      Hello. I, too, remain fond of the Federal 115-gr. JHP. Though I was not the one shooting, I did see the (proper) aftermath of that load being used against a burglar who fired on a police officer. XTP's have proven extremely accurate for me in several calibers and I remain a proponent of that...

      Fiocchi Extrema 9mm 124 & 147-gr. Ammunition

      Hello. I recently bought some of the Fiocchi 9mm Extrema line of ammunition in 124 and 147-grain loads. I've not used these particular factory 9mm loads before and folks on-line seem to be interested in them. I checked accuracy, penetration/expansion and chronographed both loads, which were...

      S&W Model 64 - finally got the EDC I've been looking for!

      Hello, Mr. Williams. I share your enthusiasm for the Model 64; I like the things in all bbl lengths, 2, 3 and 4". I prefer the heavy bbl versions but understand that some like the standard bbl. (To each his own!) As this is written a 2" Model 64 is a couple of feet away and there's a 3" in the...

      Shooting the 9mm Beretta PX4 Storm

      Hello. I shot the pistol again today at a friend's place in the country where he has built his own range. It was windy and we only fired from about 20 yards or so. The pistol fired another flawless 200 rounds of 9mm 124-gr FMJ ammunition. Groups were not nearly as tight as when seated and...
