45 GAP, the Glock 37, & the Caliber That Should Have Been
Published: August 21, 2022 { 23 comments }This week, we are going to take a look at an odd one, and not just for historical reasons. I was able to procure a Glock 37 and 1000 rounds of ammo to feed it recently for $800. That is a used gun off the secondary market, but it was available and not badly priced.

Clay Buys His First Revolver – Smith & Wesson 325 Night Guard
Published: July 24, 2022 { 36 comments }Hey, fair warning, if you are a big-time revolver nut, you might want to skip this week’s review. I have personally fired less than 1000 rounds out of a wheel gun in my life, and quite possibly less than 500. So why am I covering a revolver?
