We have a bunch of firearms in The Armory that don’t see much use or publicity. A while mess of Glocks actually. Here is a FDE Glock 35. GEN 4. With Wilson-Vickers ledge night sights. The logic behind this gun was to have it handy should anyone show up at our ranges with 40 S&W. For the record, plenty of …

First Impression: Wilson P320 Grip Module
First impression. This is a legit upgrade. Back in the bad ole days, if you wanted to modify your polymer gun’s grip? It involved soldering irons and wood burning tools. But…no do overs. Don’t mess up. Then the Sig P320 came out, and you could practice on inexpensive modules until it was to your liking. Or…now…you could just buy a …
The Remington Rider Revolver
Full name: The Remington-Rider New Model Double Action Belt Pistol. Remington made this pistol between 1863 and 1873. In that 10 year run 3000 to 5000 pistols were made.

Gun Store Road Trip
Doc and I stopped in at Vandalia Tactical outside of Dayton, Ohio. They had some interesting guns I hadn’t seen in person before. Specifically some Dan Wesson PM-9s, Springfield Ronin Target. In the category of firearms I had seen before, they had plenty of Glocks and modern striker guns. AR’s, reproduction cowboy guns, and even a Colt Delta Elite in …

eXperior Trigger Control
The trigger on the Wilson eXperior is much “crispier” than on the EDC X9L. It’s been about a decade since I ran such a trigger seriously for CCW. But it’s kinda like riding a bike. This single stack would make a good backup to the X9L main carry gun. 😇 @wilsoncombat #1911 #shootingsteel #wilsoncombat #experior1911 #9mm1911 #singlestacklife #john1911 Sincerely, Marky …
Wilson 320 Grip Module

MSM Banned on Social
Look. I get it. What is happening on social media to provide a gift-in-kind to the Biden campaign is disgusting and dangerous. But I’m not going to pretend that folks like us are oh so shocked. Welcome to the party, Pal! I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. THIS is why we lean in with our website. Don’t …

All 1911’s Should Be 9mm
I get asked versions of this question every so often: “Are 9mm 1911’s ok?” “Yeah, but it’s only in 9mm.” “Which caliber of 1911 should I get first?” My answer is as follows. For serious work. For CCW. To run and gun. To try to go somewhere and be something with a 1911? Get the 9mm. In the bad old …
Blaser Tactical Magazine Analysis
Can’t post too much on this. But we occasionally get private messages about this subject. Since we can’t address specifics, all I can show is this photo. So what it is? One of our outside vendors measuring Blaser Tactical 2 / LRS 2 magazines. Infer from that what you will. Sincerely, Marky www.John1911.com “Shooting Guns & Having Fun”
