Custom guns can be fun to own and shoot. Over the years Michael had had several customs assembled out of parts from other guns. Some were home runs; some weren’t. Plus, an old friend’s gun.

This week Michael take a look at the new Steiner TOR-X, a green laser integrated with the fantastic Mantis X training system, The Mantis X. You can also use the Laser Training function of the Mantis X system, and you’ll always have your Laser and Mantis X with you! Also, a look at one of Michael's old warhorses, a Rock Island Armory hi-cap 9mm set up for USPSA.

This week we take a look at Lucid Optics E7, an enclosed emitter blue dot sight. According to Lucid’s research, blue has a lot going for it in a “red” dot sight. Also, the final decision on which S&W Ultimate Carry snub to keep…take the gun; leave the cannoli?

Michael Bane recently had a chance to interview Doug Hamlin, the new CEO and Vice President of the NRA, asking questions that had been submitted by viewers/listeners. We have decided to run the video of the 40 minute interview unedited.

From its initial single offering, the STR-9 9mm pistol, Stoeger has grown the STR line into an impressive and very successful set of pistols. At SHOT and NRA we teased a new STR-9 modified for potential NATO handgun trials, and now it’s time to meet the STR-9 Combat X. Also this week, an exclusive and moving look at why the Second Amendment matters so much.

This week Michael shows how to take a good basic 1911, a 9mm Tisas Stingray, and turn it into something special…a custom 1911 you can actually afford! Also, the Rock Island 9mm revolver — a gem, thanks to Dave Fink!

This week we continue looking at some perfect custom guns, in this case a Cimarron 1873 Deluxe Short Rifle converted to the stubby .44 Russian round for Cowboy Action Shooting. Also, an excellent pistol rest that's easy on the wallet, courtesy MTM Case-Gard.

…and a touch of perfection! This week Michael starts shooting the pair of Rossis he’ll be using at the GUNSITE lever action/handgun class soon. Plus, Ed Brown’s magnificent Kobra Carry 1911.

In addition to all the political maneuvering, there were several really interesting new guns at the NRA Show in Dallas. Let’s take a quick look!

Over a storied career in law enforcement, Dave Spaulding emerged as one of the top firearms trainers in America. His Handgun Combatives' classes, driven both by his skill as a presenter and his dry humor, were filled almost as soon as they were announced. Dave has zero respect for sacred cows, and today he slays a herd!
