When you bring up FN in conversation, people will nod their heads. If you ask them to say something about FN, a few of the folks nodding their heads will say “Well, they make guns for the military.” The old guy will clear his gullet and say, “John Browning’s Hi-Power.” Well, both of these are accurate, but FN’s history spans far more than just these two great guns. The BAR, The FN FAL and the M2 Ma Deuce would all be quickly added to the discussion as the group thinks began to kick in. Even these additions only scratch the surface, so let me take you through the high points of FN.

The Ultimate Concealable .380 — SCCY CPX-3
Published: August 27, 2017 { 0 comments }The absolute best gun you can have in an emergency is the one you are carrying.

Published: August 17, 2017 { 11 comments }The CZ-75 is a legendary handgun design. It is to Eastern Europe what the 1911 is to the west in many ways.

HK VP9SK 9mm: The Long Awaited VP9 Mini-Me – Full Review
Published: August 16, 2017 { 17 comments }The VP9 is not really all that large a pistol, but it is a full duty-sized gun. And while some folks can and do carry it concealed, I prefer something much smaller for everyday carry. I don’t want my life or my wardrobe to revolve around my carry gun. So, for those of us who are average height and build, and wear normal clothing, a smaller version is much appreciated!
