FN Herstal PS90 5.7x28mm

Oh man, I love me some Stargate!

I first saw this weapon watching SG-1 and thought it was just cool as hell!

After doing my homework, I found out that a Beligium arms maker, FN Herstal, makes it and they actually have a civilian model!

So after a few months of begging, borrowing and stealing, I got my hands on one!

I love this weapon! Its so easy to handle, shoot, and break down, you'd think the Belgiumese(?) were Germans in disguise.

It fires a unique round, called the 5.7x28mm. The matching hand gun to this rifle, the FiveseveN, is what caused all that ruckus in California. Armor piercing this and cop killer that. Its not the hand gun thats armor piercing, its the ammo. That little bullet packs a hell of a punch! But the armor piercing ammo isn't even legal. You can't buy it! They have slower, less lethal (ha!) versions of the 5.7.

The rifle holds 50 rounds in a top loading magazine that is easy to swap out. The recoil is non-existent! Its like firing a pop gun! I could easily take this into battle and not worry about kicking up rounds or having it jam.

Its a great weapon but pricey as hell. I picked up the PS90 and the matching FiveseveN handgun for $2,500.00 and then proceeded to stock up on ammo like the apocolypse was here... I figured if they ever ban it outright, I'd be set...

My one complaint on the weapon is that it has a 16in barrel. I want a 10in barrel, looks alot cooler... but I'll live... until we change these stupid local commie laws!

Davis Industries Derringer .22LR

If I was ever in a saloon, playing cards with Billy, The Kid and Jesse James something tells me I'd have this under the table.

This is definitely a Noisy Cricket. Loud as hell and super small.

I've only fired this weapon a few times but its been fun every time! Its not that accurate. At about 10 feet you'll hit the general vicinity of the thing/person you are aiming at.

I don't think I'd shoot someone with this gun... it would only make them mad. But then again no one wants to be shot, even with a .22, so its presence alone may deter someone if they aren't saying "awww... how cute!"

Don't ask me what it costs, but I've seen similar guns on the big broker sites for around $150.00. This was actually a gift from my uncle! Now if I could only get him to gift me his Harely...

While its fun, I don't think I'd recommend this gun for any real practical use. For home defense, get a shotgun, for concealed carry get something with more ammo and a bigger punch, for protecting yourself at an old west card game... well... there you go... use this for that...

Springfield Armory XD .45ACP

Ignore the logo in the lower right corner of the picture... this gun is all Springfield!

For a few months, I had been hearing great things about the Springfield XD .45 and man were they right!

This is a reliable and fun weapon to shoot! It grips so well and almost everyone that I have let try it, just raves about it. Even my girlfriend (Yes, some woman actually succumbed to my endless begging and pleading for a date and then decided to stick around) hit 4 out of 5 bulls eyes with this gun, and it was her very first time at the range!

Aside from the internal safeties, the weapon has two visible safeties, a trigger safety and a palm safety. No switches or buttons to press. Just get the gun ready to fire and you're off to the races!

Its reliability has been excellent. I have about a thousand rounds through mine without a jam or misfire and I even mixed and matched my ammo in a clip just too see. It fed without issue!

Its to big for Concealed Carry but the power of the .45ACP will stop anyone in their tracks.

Its fun to shoot and the recoil is easily manageable, even for the most novice of users (remember my newbie girlfriend from above hitting the target consistently? Now would be a good time to mention that she's also very hot... and I'm not saying this in case she reads this... I have pics, and if you have $9.99 a month to spend, we'll talk...)

I think I spent around $600 for a new one and it was well worth the money! Go pick one up! You deserve it!!!

As always, feel free to post questions or comments on here... though since no reads this blog anyway I may just end up talking to myself on here...

Glock G19 Compact 9mm

What a fun little gun!

I've had this Glock since late 2005 and it was the first firearm I ever bought!

Some people have complained about Glocks. I've heard complaints of jamming due to the barrel being ever so slightly oval versus truly round.

My experience is simple. I've put roughly 3,000 rounds through it and have yet to have it jam. Well, once an ejected shell bounced off the range wall and ended up back in the open chamber at the end of a clip, but thats hardly the gun's fault!

I'm fairly accurate with this gun. It is a compact so for someone like me (6'2" and built like a linebacker) its small in my hands. I find that I can easily shift the gun when I'm gripping it, which leads me to be off if I don't realize it.

I originally bought this thinking it would be a great conceal and carry weapon, however I live in Illinois. We won't get Concealed Carry here until a division of Chinese tanks are rolling down Michigan Ave in Chicago. And even then, our state politicians would welcome our new Chinese Overlords.

So to conclude... Great little gun, I've had no problems with it, good for concealed carry, Illinois sucks, Chinese Overlords. I recommend this to anyone who needs a smaller, reliable weapon! And for around $550-600 new, its not to bad!

Welcome!

Welcome to my newly created blog!

This site will be dedicated to reviews of weapons I, or anyone else who wants to write for this blog, has personally experienced!

If you are expecting ballistics reports, you've come to wrong place. If you are looking for first hand accounts of a weapon's reliability, handling, impressions of it, etc. then welcome home!

Also, if anyone has suggestions for weapons to review, let me know. I can usually get access to some cool stuff, and if I can play with it, I will review it!!!
