A commenter mentioned yesterday never having seen anyone running a Beretta 92 racegun. In 2019, Beretta tried to change that image by introducing the 92X Performance series. They also signed competition shooter J.J. Racaza to a six-year contract.

After some of these modelsContinue reading “Is IDPA About to Unleash an Equipment Arms Race?”
Coming Soon? – Smith & Wesson .22 Magnum Semi-Auto Pistol
I just found this recently published patent application from Smith & Wesson. It shows a polymer-frame, hammer-fired, rimfire pistol with a floating barrel insert.
