The Sig Sauer P230, a .380 ACP pistol, is reviewed as a classic carry option. It evolved from the Sauer 38H and competed with the Walther PPK/S, featuring a fixed barrel, straight blowback operation, and a decocker instead of an external safety. While its capacity is 7+1 and it has a European-style heel magazine release, its flat controls and shrouded hammer are ideal for concealed carry. Though replaced by the P232, the P230 is praised for its fit, finish, and ergonomics, making it a charming and effective choice.
This video provides an expert overview of the German-made SIG-Sauer P226, presented by Larry Vickers. It covers the pistol's development from the P220, its key features like the DA/SA mechanism and double-stack magazine, and its historical significance, including its adoption by elite units despite narrowly losing the US XM9 trials. The demonstration highlights the P226's reliability with Sellier & Bellot 9mm ammunition.
The Diemaco SFW is a notable M16/AR-15 carbine variant, originally produced by Diemaco (now Colt Canada). It saw significant use with elite units like the British SAS due to its reliability when Colt USA couldn't meet M4 demand. Key features include a 15.7-inch barrel with a unique accessory sleeve, the Diemaco tri-rail system, a Canadian-preferred thin front sight post, and an Elcan C79 optic. Early models used Weaver rails, and it featured distinctive green furniture and Thermold magazines.
