The concept of the Handi-Racker is to assist the shooter in racking the slide, realizing the power of body weight, rather than hand and arm strength. You hold the Handi-Racker against the back of the slide and push down on the pistol, using a table or wall as a brace.

To be honest, I suspect most people do not think of Remington when it comes to the topic of handguns. Rifles? The Model 700? Of course. Shotguns? How about the Model 870, right? But this is unfair as the company has a long history of producing popular handguns. From the 1858 New Army blackpowder revolver to the .41 rimfire double derringer to the Model 51 in .32 and .380 ACP to the 1911s it produced for the United States government, Remington is a company that knows its way around a handgun. So, with the introduction of the new RP9, the company is both building on tradition as well as blazing a new path.

I am very happy to report that S&W is one of those companies.

Now that you know what features your wife or girlfriend wants in her concealed carry handgun (covered in Part I of this series), you’re ready to help her start looking.

To be taken seriously in any high-stakes 1911 debate, you must know when to raise an eyebrow in approval and when to scoff. And if you want to raise the collective blood pressure and volume level of everyone in the room, just say three words: “polymer framed 1911”. Okay, the last one was really a number, but you know what I mean. But, with a gun like the Witness 1911P from EAA, we may want to reconsider this reaction.

The Trace—an “independent, nonprofit and nonpartisan news organization” funded by the Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund (ha!)—ran an article this week linking the prevalence of 9mm and .45 caliber handguns to a supposed rise in firearm lethality.

There have been multiple efforts by companies to create guns in that same mold as the revered CZ-75, but few have come as close to bringing a solid version to market as TriStar. The best part of this effort is the notably affordable price of their offering here in the US. Say hello to the C100.
