There’s a Lot to be Said About Traditional Double Action Pistols

Clayton brings up some good points about traditional double-action pistols. Especially these days when so many are carrying in the Appendix position it can be desirable to think about layers of “safety.” Having that extra layer of a long and heavy trigger pull can be a very healthy feature indeed.

Recently I got my hands on the new Ruger RXM Pistol. A collaborative effort with the team at Magpul, the RXM uses a swappable Magpul frame, Glock-compatible magazines and maintains compatibility throughout with the Glock Gen 3 platform. That means you can choose from the vast array of aftermarket sights, stops, barrels, slides, and more.

I ran across the folks at Vudoo Gun Works a little over a year ago and was intrigued by their manufacturing approach.

Some people swear once you go ported you never go back. Others claim Satan makes his guests use ported pistols while paying double for their ammo. I was an ambivalent “porter” until I spent some quality time with a few new Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P pistols. Now? Read on and see.
