Hanson stresses the importance of practice with a safe and empty firearm to ensure proficiency and proper equipment function.

The Yankee Marshal identifies a significant gap in the firearms market: the absence of a small, lightweight revolver chambered in 10mm Auto. He argues that such a firearm would serve as an ideal backup to 10mm semi-automatic pistols, a caliber he considers optimal for concealed carry. While acknowledging potential engineering challenges, he proposes solutions like a 5-round cylinder in a J-frame size or a slightly larger platform like a Colt Cobra or Kimber K6S.

This review of the JL Billet Reaper chassis for the SIG Sauer P365 evaluates its performance as a hybrid between a pistol and a pistol caliber carbine. The chassis offers improved stability and accuracy over a standard pistol, particularly in rapid-fire scenarios, but falls short of a dedicated PCC. Key considerations include its all-metal construction, integrated magazine holder, and aesthetic appeal, contrasted with the slide's proximity to the face and the inconvenience of dedicating a carry pistol to the chassis. The reviewer suggests it excels as a 'bag gun' or range toy rather than an EDC solution.
