I also started a handgun themed group called Handgun Nation.
This group grew to 21-22,000 members inside of a year and at it’s peak we were going through 500 to 1,000 requests a day if not more…this sprouted the idea of me starting my own firearm related blog which you’re now reading this article on… but Facebook ended up axing the group just citing that it went against community standards with no specifics being listed.
Something that the firearms community has been waiting for for a long time has been an aluminum or steel framed striker fired handgun that was somewhat affordable. Walther almost got it there with the PPQ Q5 SF, but missed the price mark by quite a margin (seriously, double the cost from a polymer frame to a steel frame)?
With the fall of the Hudson Hype 9, the aluminum Glock frames not doing well on the market, and more… Sig Sauer seems to be putting all other companies in their place…as odd as that sounds coming from me.
Bidding on Remington’s Assets Released We all knew a couple of months back when several Freedom Group/Remington Group companies stopped talking with customers that they were going under. Well, they filed for bankruptcy and the Remington Group is officially selling off all of it’s assets including whole brands and manufacturing facilities. Here’s the information that’s…
Way back in 2017 when Sig USA got awarded the M17 contract by the Department of Defense, a smaller, less known company Steyr filed a lawsuit against Sig USA. Steyr’s claim was that the Sig P320 used a chassis system that was an infringement on their patented chassis system. Since I’m not a lawyer and even less of a patent lawyer, I’m not going to try diving into whether or not Steyr had a case… but I will say that both chassis systems looked oddly familiar when watching take down videos.
Welp, we’ve all been waiting for it for a year. The 2nd season of The Mandalorian is coming soon and here’s a trailer. Looks like The Mandalorian will be tasked with taking “Baby Yoda” to the Jedi. Click the link to watch the trailer.
Okay, shilling complete, Sig is being sued again for the P320, BUT it isn’t because of the drop issue, no. It’s because the P320 is discharging, uncommanded, in the holster. Yes, you read that correctly. The P320 is discharging in holsters without the trigger being pulled; no, I’m not making this up. In the lawsuit documents that are available Sig USA’s lawyer has had to disclose some of these instances during discovery which means it isn’t just hearsay.
Police Select Walther PPQ Alrighty, time to get down to some good ol’ fashioned gun news for everyone! As, hopefully all of you know, I recently picked up a Walther PPQ M2 5″ with the plan of making it my primary defensive handgun. And quite frankly, shooting it is like cheating all around. The stock…
All across the nation, court rooms are passing judgments from the smallest court, all the way up to the Circuit Courts in regards to the 2nd Amendment and more. Today, SCOTUS just showed how inept they are at doing their jobs…again. The court that’s supposed to protect the people from tyrants, the last straw in our legal system, refusing to take on any potentially controversial cases.
If you’re a Walther PPQ fan, or a Walther Q5 Match fan, this is something you’re going to want to read. Especially if you’re someone that’s looking to get into the world of carry optics on your firearms, but don’t want to abandon your current platform. From a company that will mill your current slide, to new adapter plates for the PPQ, I got over some new findings in this article.
Neither are ideal and I honestly see both of them being on Forgotten Weapons inside of the next 3 years. As a side message to all gun manufacturers, your “snag free” sights? They aren’t snag free, you’re making the wrong side of the slights slanted. It really makes a person question how smart your design and marketing staff is.
