EDC

When I have the opportunity to turn an antique firearm in my hands, one concept that jumps out at me harder and faster than others is firearm sighting systems and their development through the years.

SIG Sauer’s MPX Copperhead is a 9mm pistol. But don’t pigeonhole it with the other handguns you’ve experienced. It’s a versatile firearm that’ll eat anything you throw in it and fit almost anywhere you’d like to keep it.

They’re adding two new two-tone models, one with a passive trigger safety and one with a manual cross-bolt safety.

Beretta is expanding their time-tested 92 series with five new models that make up the new line of 92X guns all chambered for 9mm Luger.

Glock updated their E.U. website with two new Model 43X and 48 Slimline pistols, now with accessory rails for weapon lights and laser sights.

This being a column about mouse guns, let’s open it with a definition of what, exactly, constitutes a “mouse gun.”

Dmitry Sinkevich designed both of these knives for ZT, and I just can’t get enough of them. The feel in the hand and the utility of the blade shapes are perfectly matched in these two knives that are both excellent every day carry options. They are utilitarian works of art.

Moreover, what are you going to do, just run into the wild? Forever? What about everyone else who planned to do that?

There are a lot of compact pistols out there, but don’t overlook Sig’s PS365. It’s a micro but worthwhile take on the 1911 that comes in fourteen different models.
