If you are not already familiar with the M22 pistols, they are .22 LR handguns that have an appearance very similar to the Glock line of handguns. The M22 is available in various barrel lengths and run from $428 – $554 depending on the model purchased. In addition to the Moon Shine camo patterns, the M22 is available with black, pink green and sand colored frames.

Arthur Welling, aka CarTeach0, reviewed the M22 a few years back. He gives the pistol a very thorough review. If you are interested in the pistols, it is a “must read.” If you don’t like the M22, no matter – go read the CarTeach0 site anyway. There are a lot of great reviews and articles there. Everything from reloading for an old mil-surp rifle to a review on this gun.

Legacy Sports, the company that imports the ISSC M22 pistols, produced a short video showing you how to disassemble the pistol for cleaning:

On display at the recent special forces competition in Russia was the Strike One pistols from Arsenal Firearms. The Strike One is a polymer framed handgun from the same company that introduced the double barrel 1911 pistol last year.

Arsenal Firearms claims the Strike one is “…the fastest, most controllable, most accurate and hard hitting service pistol available today on the world market.” Those are some pretty big claims considering the excellent alternatives from Glock, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Armory and others.

MagHolder: Awesome Horizontal Carry Magazine Pouch

MagHolder magazine pouch

Innovation is alive and well in the United States small business world.  Case in point: the MagHolder magazine pouch.

Made of injection-molded plastic, the one piece MagHolder carries a single spare magazine horizontally on a belt. This presents a less noticeable bulge under a concealing garment as the magazine follows a natural visual line along the waist instead of breaking the natural line with a perpendicular angle. Think of it as camouflage: the eye is less likely to catch something when the angles flow with expectations.

Enhanced Reliability Package from Colt

Colt 1911

We all know that the 1911 platform is a fine weapon, and we also know that they can be picky about the kinds of ammunition they will run. That is one of the many reasons why more than a few firearms instructors suggest guns other than a 1911 for self-defense purposes.

For years, I have seen gunsmiths offering a variety of packages to improve the reliability of the venerable 1911. But, I did not realize that Colt offered one of those same packages at the factory. The Colt Enhanced Reliability Package is a deal offered through the company’s custom shop and can be purchased prior to the acquisition of the firearm to get it tuned before delivery. Also, current Colt owners can ship their existing 1911 back to the shop for improving reliability.
