By Tom McHale|2025-01-31T16:50:16-05:00January 31st, 2025|

Recently I got my hands on the new Ruger RXM Pistol.

By Tom McHale|2024-12-30T16:52:40-05:00December 30th, 2024|

She stole it, and I can’t even press charges, in part because she’s my wife, and in part, because I had it coming. The year was 2012.

Staccato CS Compact 2011 Pistol Review

By Tom McHale|2024-12-13T12:50:53-05:00December 13th, 2024|

I’ve been shooting a flock of Staccato 2011 pistols side-by-side and regardless of size, they all shoot exceptionally well. Off a bench rest at 25 yards, this little pistol still prints just over one-inch five shot groups. Don’t let the small size fool you; the compact CS model’s double-stack design still packs 15+1 capacity.

By Tom McHale|2024-11-18T11:52:42-05:00November 18th, 2024|

Roy explores a new offering from Charter Arms - a revolver chambered in .32 H&R Magnum.

Firearm design attracts interesting engineering solutions. To offer a “pocket carry” safe autoloading pistol, one Witold Chylewski created a .25 ACP handgun that could be carried uncocked, with chamber empty, but still ready for instant, one-handed deplyment.
