This review of the Chiappa Rhino 40DS in .357 Magnum highlights its unique low bore axis design, which significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip, making follow-up shots easier. The reviewer, an experienced shooter, notes the smooth double-action trigger and effective fiber optic sights for daylight use.

This review tests the DPM Systems Recoil Reduction System on a Beretta 96 Inox in .40 S&W. While the system is compatible with Beretta 92, 96, and 98 models, the felt recoil reduction is subtle. Initial testing showed a failure to feed, possibly due to limp-wristing or break-in, but reliability improved with extended use. The speaker concludes the DPM system is a quality option for Beretta 96 .40 S&W owners, though the 9mm Beretta 92 remains a smoother shooter.

The SIG Sauer P226 Legion is presented as a premium 9mm handgun with notable upgrades like G10 grips, tritium night sights, and a custom Grayguns trigger. While generally performing well with an exceptionally smooth DA/SA trigger and short reset, a single failure to extract was observed, attributed to a light-loaded round. The MSRP of $1099 is considered good value for the included enhancements.
