The Archon Type B is a striker-fired 9mm pistol featuring a patented AF Speedlock non-tilting barrel system for reduced recoil and a low bore axis. It offers significant modularity, including interchangeable grip backstraps for various hand sizes and magazine capacities (12, 15, 18 rounds), and an ambidextrous magazine release that can be easily swapped. The pistol also boasts direct optic cuts for popular red dot sights and Glock-pattern sights.

This review of the Extar EP9 highlights its exceptional value, positioning it as a budget-friendly Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) that rivals much more expensive options. The host, an experienced reviewer, details its polymer construction, AR-style controls, Glock magazine compatibility, and lightweight design, making it suitable for various applications. Despite minor initial reliability concerns and a unique recoil impulse, the EP9 proves to be a functional and affordable PCC after a break-in period.

The Humble Marksman reviews Kimber's new 2011-style pistol, highlighting its sub-$1000 price point and American manufacturing. Available in 10mm and .45 ACP, the 9mm version features an aluminum frame, bushing barrel, and GI-style guide rod.

This video humorously tests the ballistic resistance of a Lodge cast iron skillet against various calibers, from 9mm to .50 BMG. The experiment, conducted by Louisiana Firearms, highlights the destructive power of different ammunition types and questions the viability of a cast iron pan as makeshift body armor. The instructor's practical demonstrations and commentary provide insights into caliber effectiveness.

This video debunks the myth that an AR-15 round would 'blow off' an ear by conducting a practical experiment with pig ears. The results show that even high-velocity rounds like 5.56mm and .223 Remington, as well as heavier calibers like 45-70 and 8.6 Blackout, create small, clean holes through thin tissue, similar to a hole punch. The host explains this is because the tissue is too thin for the bullet to transfer enough energy for catastrophic cavitation, unlike in ballistics gel.

This short showcases high-performance 'Space Guns' from the Open Division at the Double Tap Championship.

The video emphasizes the advanced technology and customization involved in top-tier competition handguns.

Tim Herron, a USPSA Grand Master, explains efficient iron sight usage by contrasting traditional front sight focus with a target-oriented approach. He advocates using the rear sight for gross aiming and the front sight for fine-tuning, likening it to a backhoe vs. spade. Training with red dots can improve iron sight performance by fostering target focus.

This review compares the Staccato P, Springfield Armory Prodigy, and Bul Armory Tac 4.25, focusing on manufacturing, ergonomics, trigger, and shooting dynamics. The Bul Armory Tac 4.25 demonstrated superior reliability with tested ammunition and offered the crispest trigger. The Prodigy was the softest shooting but had a noticeable grip safety gap and feeding issues. The Staccato P offered a good balance but was also susceptible to feeding issues with certain ammo.
