Frequently Asked Questions

What factors determine if a firearm cartridge will be successful in the long term?

Long-term cartridge success hinges on three pillars: widespread firearm availability, a robust and affordable ammunition market with diverse options, and consistent marketing investment. Without all three, a caliber may struggle to gain mainstream traction and sustain its presence.

Why did Jimenez Arms go bankrupt?

Jimenez Arms filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, reportedly owing $1.3 million, with a significant portion ($900,000) attributed to federal excise taxes. This follows a history of producing inexpensive firearms and a lawsuit regarding alleged gun trafficking.

How does the new CCI Blazer 10mm ammunition impact the caliber's accessibility?

The introduction of CCI's Blazer 10mm Auto 180 grain FMJ ammunition significantly lowers the cost of practice rounds to around $0.30 per round. This increased affordability makes the 10mm caliber more accessible for general shooting and practice.

What is the SIRT P320 training pistol and its key features?

The SIRT P320 is a training pistol from Next Level Training, modeled after the Sig P320. It features a realistic resetting trigger, weighted magazines, and dual lasers to simulate shot indication and improve trigger control. It also fits standard P320 holsters.
