Ruger SR22 Pistol

By Richard on January 2, 2012 10 Comments

Ruger SR22 pistolThe Ruger SR22 is the latest major announcement just days ahead of the 2012 SHOT Show.  The new pistol is one of several new firearms recently announced by Ruger including the LCR-22 and the American Rifle.

SR22 Specs

The Ruger SR22 is a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) pistol chambered for the .22 LR rimfrie cartridge.  The frame mounted safety is ambidextrous and also serves as a decocker.  The pistol is hammer fired (not striker fired) and has an exposed hammer.

The magazines hold only 10 rounds, and the gun ships with two magazines.  The magazine release is ambidextrous.  Extensions can be added to the bottom of the magazines to provide more grip surface.

Beretta Nano Holster

An PJ Holster kydex scabbard for the Beretta Nano.

“Where can I find a Beretta Nano holster?” is one of the more popular questions I have gotten via e-mail in the past few weeks.  The Beretta Nano is a subcompact pistol introduced recently and it is now shipping.  Perfect for concealed carry, the Nano owner needs a quality holster.

Fortunately, several holster makers are already stepping up to provide leather and polymer solutions to your CCW needs.  I have assembled a small list of Nano holsters that I know exist currently.  If you are aware of others, please sound off in the comments section.

High Noon Holsters – High Noon Holsters is offering many of their leather designs fitted for the Beretta Nano.  Holster models for the Nano include Bare Asset, Mr. Softy, Back Skin, Swift Skin, Skin Deep, Bare Skin, Skin Guard, Centerfold and Split Decision.  These holsters cover a wide range of styles including several inside-the-waistband (IWB) rigs and numerous outside-the-waistband (OWB) scabbards.

SIG P238 with Ambi Safety

By Richard on December 20, 2011 No Comments

Sig P238SIG SAUER is expanding the popular P238 line to include models with an ambidextrous safety.  It appears there will be five ambi safety models of the SIG P238 introduced at the 2012 SHOT Show.

The SIG P238 with the new ambi safety will be available in the following versions:  black diamondplate, rosewood, desert, equinox and scorpion.  All of these versions have become standard across much of the SIG SAUER line.

One interesting note about the desert P238 is that it will come with an X-Grip extension and a seven round magazine, giving it a one-shot advantage over its brothers and their six round mags.

Gen 4 Glock 21

By Richard on December 19, 2011 No Comments

Gen4 Glock 21The Gen 4 Glock 21 is now a reality.  The Glock 21 is one of the more discussed models from the company:  on the one hand, it gives the shooter 13+1 rounds of the powerful .45 ACP to handle whatever threat may present itself.  On the other hand, the gun is noticeably thicker than other Glock models, creating problems for many shooters with small to medium sized hands.

With the Gen 4 treatment to the model 21, Glock will hopefully satisfy all of their fans who like the cartridge developed some hundred years ago.  One of the major changes to the Gen 4 pistols is the modular back strap system that allows the owner to custom fit the size of each gun to his or her hand.  While the “Does size matter?” argument will never go away, Glock has certainly made a credible effort to make the 21 comfortably useable by most shooters.

Pink Walther P22

By Richard on December 15, 2011 1 Comments

Called “Pink Platinum,” this Walther P22 has to be one of the coolest pink guns I have seen.  Generally, I am not a fan of pink guns, but I think this one rocks.  Once my daughter sees it, I suspect it will have to find its way home.  It is a darn sight better than the lime green P22 I spotted previously!

SIG P224: Picture & More Information

By Richard on December 14, 2011 No Comments

SIG P224 photoYesterday I described the new SIG P224 pistol, a subcompact handgun in the classic line of SIG SAUER firearms.  I wanted to share some additional information and a much better photo of the new gun (full size picture below).

The SIG P224 will initially only be available with the proprietary DAK action.  The DAK (aka Double Action – Kellerman) is a special double action only system that gives a very smooth, 5.5 to 6.5 pound trigger pull.  Having owned a P226 with a DAK action, I can say I was very pleased with the system.  The trigger pull was similar to that of a nice double action revolver.  The DAK action has a “double-strike” or “second-strike” capability.

Glock 26 Review Coming

By Richard on December 14, 2011 No Comments

Glock 26 ReviewO’ happy day!  A Gen 4 Glock 26 review is in the works.  Earlier today, I got a call from my local dealer who said a G26 just arrived and “Do you want to swing by and do the paperwork?”  Heh.

So, expect to see a review on the latest version of the baby Glock in the near future.

SIG P224

By Richard on December 13, 2011 11 Comments

SIG P224As the SHOT Show approaches, the SIG P224 appears to be closer to reality.

Essentially a cut-down P229, the SIG SAUER P224 is a subcompact pistol in the classic SIG series (P226, etc.).  The new guns will be double stack pistols chambered in 9mm, .40 S&W and .357 SIG. MSRP on the guns is more than $1000, but expect to see them sell for less through your local retailer.

All three chamberings of the P224 will share the same features and specs, save one:  magazine capacity.  The 9mm will have 11 round magazines, while the .40 S&W and .357 SIG will have 10 round magazines.  All models will ship with two magazines.

The SIG P224 frames will be aluminum with a black anodized finish.  Slides and barrels will be stainless steel.  The slide will have the typical Nitron finish.  Unloaded, the guns weigh 25.4 ounces with the magazine.  Early reports indicated the weight could be as much as 34 ounces, which never made any sense since the P229 only weighs 32 oz.

Lime Green Walther P22

By Richard on December 12, 2011 No Comments

Lime Green Walther P22This previously escaped my notice, but you can buy a lime green Walther P22 in a carbon fiber finish.  I don’t know what kind of demand there is for a lime green pistol, but Walther has that market covered.

MSRP on this gun is $410 and it available as a Talo Distributors exclusive.  Lipsey’s lists the pistol in their catalog, so if you can’t find it locally, your dealer can probably order you a lime green Walther P22.

Color aside, the Walther P22 has been quite popular with the rimfire crowd.  The handgun is chambered for the inexpensive and fun to shoot .22 LR and has a sporty style.  The P22 also has a reasonable price tag.
