Yeah, that's how I've always felt - especially compared to my G26. It's such a fun pistol to shoot. When I took my wife shooting for the first time (pretty recently), she fired both my G34 and G26. I...

Nice find! You'll enjoy it. IMHO, no handgun collection is complete without a "practical tactical" pistol, and the G34 is pretty much the king of such pistols. My G34 (and I have a Gen 3) is my...

Licensing is a tricky topic, but if you want my personal take: I don't have any objection to it in principle. If we were going to have a universal licensing system here in the States, though, I'd...

Get it. I really want a Python myself some day. Brownell's seems to have then in inventory now.

That being said, I'm annoyed that Colt is no longer producing the blued version, as I think I like...

I'm sympathetic; I had to move to Maryland this year, which I was extremely unhappy about, as MD is not nearly as gun-friendly as Virginia (where I had lived for 10 years before). Before I left VA, I...

Very nice. If your mind is blown by the Steiner MPS on the Glock 45, you should check out the SIG P365-XMACRO - I recently handled one with a RomeoZero red dot at my local FFL (which I asked to see,...

Negative, the clearest screencaps of the gun are in Episode 1, including the ejection port.

Of course not. But it is the only shot that shows the gun’s ejection port, enabling a caliber ID.

Also: That’s only half the problem. Other question is - what would I say in the description on the...

Beef - Ali Wong (and explicit screencaps)

I did, too, but in retrospect, that was youthful naivety on my part. Politicians are always motivated by ego and power, and I can't imagine that was different 25 years ago. It's just that our polity...
