The FNP-45 was originally designed for a military project that never materialized. But the double-stack, hammer-fired .45 and its lookalike successor, the FNX-45, are still state-of-the-art for heavyweight handguns. Also, the Taurus GX4-XL comes back fitted for the Trij RMRcc.

This week Michael talks prepper guns, in answer to a Pod Person’s question. Is the Glock 19 still the perfect handgun for a prepper’s SHTF firearm?

The FNP/FNX .45 ACP hammer-fired, 15-round semiauto was developed for the military trials that never happened. After 15 years, it remains a masterpiece of engineering and maybe the finest .45 ACP in the world.

The Ruger Small Frame Autoloading Rifle (SFAR) has done a magnificent job of filling a niche for an AR-15 sized .308, with both reduced recoil and a price people can afford. It’s fun to shoot, too! Also, the Shield-sighted Tisas Stingray lightweight Commander 1911.

This week Michael heads to Texas with the SDS Imports/Tisas 10mm giveaway pistol to wring it out on big hogs. Afterwards, it's the USCCA Convention in Ft Worth.

On the last day of SHOT Show 2020--before the world got COVID, Michael Bane went down to the basement looking for innovation. And he found it.

Will the Tisas Stingray 1911 LW Commander 9mm end up in Michael’s EDC holster? It’s looking more likely every day! The Stingray, with a Shield RMSc red dot milled into the frame, cries out to be carried.

This week Michael takes a look at “Piglet,” the Commander-length, 10mm 1911 from Rock Island Armory. With 8-round 10mm mags, Piglet may be the best backcountry safety device ever. Also a look at the new Bushnell RX micro series red dot sights.

Michael visits the NASGW trade show to see what’s in store for the SHOT Show in January. Fightlite’s new blend of an AR-15 with a traditional lever gun caught his eye!

This week, a “golden oldie” from 2018 where Michael outlines his own practice regimen for hunting season.
