Earlier this year I received the Inland/Bond Arms  “liberator”   derringer pistol.   With Inland making a lot of WW2 era guns over the last few years and them teaming up with other companies like Ithaca to make others,  it isn’t a surprise the name was brought back as a homage of the old single shot pistolContinue reading “Inland MFG/Bond Arms “Liberator” Test & Review”

Inland Mfg has been on a pretty good roll since they brought the old name back online and started producing weapons that could have been  if only they had continued.    I have already tested and reviewed their M1 carbine and their excellent USGI M1911A1.  If you read those reviews you know I was impressed withContinue reading “Inland MFG “jungle M1 Carbine ” Review & Accuracy Test”

Now we are going to take a look at how accurate it is.  I won’t bother saying anything about reliability, it is a double action revolver after all and one made by Colt so it obviously will work. I shot a variety of  commercial factory loads  for accuracy at 25 yards.  The Buffalo Bore plusContinue reading “Colt Cobra Accuracy Test”

We have seen a few really nifty M1 carbines out of Inland the last few years. It was just a matter of time before they offered us the version the least known or seen.

In 1996,  Colt came out with what is now a very rare variant of the most excellent Anaconda revolver.    The Anaconda being a larger framed ( for 44mag) version of the  Python .357 magnum  revolver.  This limited edition was made in only 1,500 examples  supposedly and was  truly a “system”. The gun came from theContinue reading “Colt Realtree Anaconda Review”

From the old website. Last Saturday I saw an odd failure in a SIG P238 pistol.  After I helped the shooter clear the malfunction I thought that I should have snapped a photo of it, so I reproduced the malfunction for the above photo. Never before have I see a fired shell case stuck inContinue reading “Odd Failure In Sig P238”

The topic of what firearm should I use for home defense is a question that people get a million answers on. Most of the time, your local gun store, unknowledgeable friend or people who have little training experience, will tell you a shotgun because you can’t miss. Sometimes you even get some of these sameContinue reading “Selecting A Home Defense Firearm”

I week or so ago i got a chance to try out the FN 45.    There are a few things I like about the gun; it comes with two 14 round mags and a 15 round mag. The FN of course comes with a rail on the frame for the ever popular light, which IContinue reading “Fast review of the FN FNP 45”
