Handguns

The Taurus TX22 Braced takes an already impressive .22 LR pistol and adds a folding brace, optics-ready slide and suppressor-friendly setup. It ran cheap ammo surprisingly well and delivered plenty of fun, but the missing manual safety and a stubborn brace button left me with a few complaints.

The old Colt Python earned a reputation as one of the finest revolvers ever built, then disappeared long enough to become painfully collectible. Colt brought the snake back in 2020 with stronger construction and redesigned internals, giving 2026 buyers a much harder question: buy the legend, or buy the modern gun built to shoot?

After our first SIG P385 deep dive, viewers came back with more technical questions, so we went straight back to SIG Sauer for answers. In Part II, Eric McKenzie addresses future P385 models, AXG grip modules, other calibers, the manual safety, FCU interchangeability, threaded barrels and suppressor compatibility, MIM parts, U.S. manufacturing, durability, slide finish, [...]

California just put the Glock 43X CA on its handgun roster, giving Golden State Glock fans something many of us thought we might never see again: a genuinely new Glock option.

At SIG NEXT, I sat down with Eric McKenzie, SIG Sauer’s Director of Commercial Product Management, to dig into the technical details of the new P385. Instead of covering the basic specs again, I pulled questions directly from YouTube comments, Reddit threads, GunsAmerica, and other discussions where shooters were asking things SIG had not really [...]

The FN 309 MRD looks like FN went bargain hunting in its own parts bin, but 300 malfunction-free rounds and surprising accuracy turned this oddball budget 9mm into a serious shooter.

Small carry guns are hard to shoot well. Short grips, light slides and snappy recoil all work against fast, accurate follow-up shots, which is exactly what you need in a fight. A compensator built into the slide and barrel vents gas upward, pushes the muzzle down and makes a small pistol behave like a bigger [...]

The SIG P385 is not another P320 variation. We shot SIG’s new modular 9mm platform at SIG NEXT 2026 to see what its new FCU, low bore axis, recoil system and MagStrap grip actually bring to the range.
