Kimber’s summer 2003 offering for the small but loyal following of 10mm shooters is a limited production model of their stainless target model.  Available as a full size pistol, this 1911 variant sports all of the features found in Kimber’s newer generation target pistols; adjustable sights, good trigger, full guide rod, decent grips and a matte sandblasted stainless steel finish.  It, is however, one of the last pistols in their production to get the standard 1911 style extractor.  Subtle enhancements …

The Italian Tanfoglio pistols are well known among European shooters for solid design, caliber interchangeability, and reasonable prices.  The designs of the pistols are a refinement on the tried and true Czech CZ-75.  Originally developed during the Cold War, the CZ-75 was known as the “best 9mm military sidearm that never was”.  Rejected by the Communist Block and simply copied in the west, the CZ-75 has met with modest success on the market; primarily used by European security firms and …

The Carpati .32, made in Romania, is a small, .32-caliber semi-automatic pistol patterned after the Walther PPK.

The P95 builds upon the success of the P85, first introduced in 1985 and followed by the improved P89. These pistols are well known as hardworking, hard-use handguns with a tendency to feed, chamber, fire and eject any type of ammunition fed by the individual user. Accuracy on early examples could bear improvement, but subsequent research and consultation with Bar Sto barrels soon had the P89 on a par with other handguns. The P90 .45-caliber handgun, as an example, is …

Spring turkey seasons are in progress all over the map, and one of the most practical, and hard-hitting, scatterguns to come along in quite some time specifically for challenging these sharp-witted birds is now available from Remington. I have been enjoying some pre-season field work with the new Model 870 SPS-T Special Purpose Turkey Super Magnum, and have to report that emphasis should definitely be placed on the word “super.” This is one firearm that truly lives up to its …

Ruger announced the introduction of a brand new semi-auto pistol aimed directly at a highly competitive market that also includes the likes of the famous Glock line, the S&W M&P, the S&W Sigma, the Walther P99, the Springfield XD, and the Taurus 24/7. Before you yawn and prepare to move on, it might be a good idea to take a good hard look at Ruger’s new SR9, however. The guys and gals at Ruger did their homework, I’d say. Up …
