The Springfield Echelon successfully completed a 1,000-round test with minimal issues, primarily a single stovepipe likely due to ammunition and a magazine baseplate detachment attributed to assembly error. The pistol offers excellent ergonomics, a flat recoil impulse similar to a Glock, and impressive accuracy at extended ranges up to 100 yards. Its modular COG chassis and VIS optics mount system are key technical highlights, contributing to a lower bore axis and versatile customization.

This video provides a first look at the Oracle Arms 2311 pistol, a new ambidextrous 2011-style firearm that utilizes P320 magazines. The creators had the opportunity to shoot it at SHOT Show 2023 Industry Day at the Range. They were impressed by its flat shooting characteristics, especially considering it's not yet in full production. The video anticipates the pistol being a hit and expects it to be available around March/April. It also highlights continued coverage of SHOT Show 2023 and mentions several affiliate partners for gear.

This video addresses the common misconception that left-handed shooters require specialized left-handed firearms. Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Caleb discuss how approximately 10-12% of the population is left-handed and how this applies to shooting. They highlight that while many modern pistols are ambidextrous, most rifles remain right-handed. The discussion debunks the notion that this is a significant handicap, citing examples of proficient left-handed shooters like Ian McCollum and Craig Boddington who have used right-handed firearms extensively. The video emphasizes that proficiency is developed through practice, and left-handed individuals can adapt to right-handed firearms, often benefiting from a wider selection of guns and easier access to parts. Certain platforms like pump-action shotguns, lever-action rifles, single-action revolvers, and ambidextrous pistols like the SIG P320 do not favor a specific handedness. Interestingly, the video also touches on why some right-handed long-range shooters prefer left-hand actions. Ultimately, the video concludes that the myth of left-handed shooters needing exclusively left-handed guns is busted, as lefties can effectively use and adapt to right-handed firearms.
