I went to Calamus Reservoir in Nebraska last week to fish for walleye and catfish. The weather had not cooperated so catfishing was a bust. We did get on a good pattern for walleye. The fishing wasn’t great but we did out fish everyone else we came across. My biggest was 26.5 inches long and ..read more

Made this meme just to poke the 45 Bear. Yes, my advice still stands: Get the 1911 in 9mm. If you are only going to have one 1911: 9mm. If you are a 1911 performance shooter: 9mm. If you are a 1911 self defense shooter: 9mm. If you are a 1911 training junkie: 9mm. If ..read more

Was in Shooters Supply (Loveland, OH) this past week on some other business. And every time I am in the shop, we always ask the owner, “You have anything I need to see?”. He pops out of his chair and pulls this out of the case. A Detonics Pocket 9 with original box and papers ..read more

It appears Wilson Combat has released an update to the EDC X9 family. A grip panel version. But wait! Doesn’t the original EDC X9 have grip panels? Yes, it does. They are screw-less & dovetailed in the frame and require partial disassembly to remove. The 2.0 guns, as best I can tell, are based on ..read more
