Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main concerns with Glock's recent policy changes?

Glock's decision to discontinue models susceptible to the 'switch' conversion is viewed as a business-driven move, prioritizing profitability over defending Second Amendment rights. While disappointing to some, it's understandable from a corporate perspective, though it raises concerns about future industry liability and the optics of caving to pressure.

How have micro 9mm pistols evolved?

Micro 9mm pistols have transformed from basic pocket-sized firearms into slim, full-size handguns. This evolution is driven by consumer demand for smaller, more concealable options that still offer good shootability and capacity, making them more practical for everyday carry.

What are the pros and cons of the Sig Sauer P365 for self-defense?

The Sig Sauer P365 is a reliable handgun, but its trigger bar spring is a known failure point that can break at various round counts. For self-defense, it's recommended to either frequently replace this spring or use a dedicated training firearm and a separate, less-shot carry firearm to ensure reliability.

Is the Colt 1911 still a good option for a first-time buyer?

Colt 1911s can be a good option due to their historical design and manufacturing knowledge, offering solid 'bones.' However, potential buyers should be aware of possible quality control issues and be prepared to perform reliability tune-ups, such as replacing the ejector, to ensure consistent performance.

What is the difference between the Benelli M4 and the Beretta 1301 shotguns?

The Benelli M4 is objectively softer shooting with less recoil, making it preferable for those prioritizing comfort. However, the Beretta 1301 offers better value and is more feature-rich out of the box, making it the more practical choice for most users, especially for self-defense or competition.
