A Budget-Friendly 1911: Taylor’s & Company’s New FS Tactical 10MM

A quick check on the web of prices for other 1911s chambered in 10MM had most models right around $1,000. Which made me wonder: at this relatively low price point, could the FS Tactical 1911 10mm pistol actually be any good?

Assembling a Knock-Around Rifle

Several years back, I took a small ring Mauser 96, in 6.5×5,5 and turned it into a scout-type rifle.

Desperado Double Barrel 12 Gauge Hand Cannon: The Secret Ingredient is Black Powder

There is no gimmick here, Desperado is a hybrid black powder and percussion device you load from the front with black powder and shot then shoot it with a 209 shotgun primer.

Springfield Armory Prodigy 4.25 – 2011 for the working man?
