If there is one pistol that has gained so much interest over the past several months, it is none other than the Beretta PX4 Storm Sub-Compact. Many of you have commented here and are quite happy with it. There’s just nothing bad to say about this modern marvel built around accuracy, quality and reliability. After six months since the review, I strongly feel it is simply one of the best 9mm sub-compact pistols on the market today.
BELLEVUE, WA – -(Ammoland.com)- For the third year in a row, violent crime has declined in the United States while increasing numbers of American citizens own firearms and are licensed to carry, a trend that belies predictions of anti-gunners that more guns will result in more crime, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
Preliminary data from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report shows that the violent crime rate went down 5.5 percent in 2009, compared to statistics from 2008. This covers all four categories of violent crime: murder, robbery, aggravated assault and forcible rape. Violent crime went down 4 percent in metropolitan counties and 3 percent elsewhere, according to the FBI.

The last poll yielded some rather interesting results. It appears the handgun is the clear winner for home defense. I was quite surprised and expected it going to the shotgun. This next poll goes out to all permit holders out there and one that many will likely be curious to know.
Many live in areas where attire depends on climate throughout the year. For example, I live in sunny South Florida and a t-shirt and shorts is what is commonly worn. With that said, carrying a large handgun is simply not an option. However, some may live in areas where they may be able to carry a larger handgun or may choose to carry other options based on what they will be wearing. Some may also own multiple handguns and use them for this very reason. That leads to the next interesting ConcealThis poll…

When it comes to pocket pistols, most owners immediately look for a pocket holster, as this is the best and most practical method of carrying such small handguns. They are designed to allow you to keep the weapon at a perfect draw angle in your pocket while printing like a wallet for ultimate concealment. Unfortunately, when you purchase a firearm from a new company or one that is not as popular as others, the chances of finding a custom or even a decent universal holster becomes quite a challenge. An excellent example of this is the new Diamondback DB380. Fortunately, the internet is your best friend and if you research long enough, you’ll likely find someone who makes one specifically for them. In this case, I did find RKBA Holsters and noticed they offered a fully custom, built-to-order pocket holster for this excellent little pistol. After contacting them, one was crafted and sent for evaluation. Let’s have a thorough look at it…
Now, many of you commented on the post of the Chiappa .22 (Puma) 1911 .22 pistol and some are even quite happy owners. However, there is now one other option out there and this one is like a full-featured 1911 that will certainly turn heads. Think of it as full-featured version of the Chiappa (Puma). This is one sweet-looking piece. Expected release by end of year.

I want one of these…that’s all I’ll say.
The XM25 is the deadliest hand weapon in the army arsenal. Why? Because it can fire 25mm rounds that explode at any distance set by the soldier, killing people protected behind walls or trenches.
During the past year, many have noticed just how hard it has been to acquire quality ammunition in certain calibers. The most difficult happens to be the .380 ACP. So when times like these arise, you can’t afford to be as picky and in some cases, may even settle for lower quality ammo. But what you may consider low quality may be quite the opposite to a number of other gun enthusiasts. One brand of ammo that falls into this category is Aguila. There are some who love it and some who hate it and even some gun manufacturers that recommend it. So which is it and should it really be one to cross off your list? Let’s find out…
We all know that a shotgun is recommended by many professionals for home defense. They don’t require much knowledge and/or skill and all you have to do is point and shoot. Even if you suck at aiming, chances are you’ll cause some serious damage. Shotguns can also cost significantly less than a handgun and the laws are also slightly different in terms of owning one. But do all still consider it their primary home defense weapon? We find out in this latest ConcealThis Poll. Even if you’re a gun enthusiast who happens to own both, which one will you reach for should an unfortunate situation arise?
