4K Review: Walther P5 & P5 Compact - the P38 done right LifeSizePotato 2016-11-07 | One of my favorite Walthers is the P5. One of my least favorite is the P38 it's based on. What makes the P5 so much better in my opinion? Lots of improvements, both functional and aesthetic, and the result is a fantastic 9mm pistol that I would heartily recommend to almost anybody except the most feverishly tactical operators. If my uncharitable opinion of the P38 didn't make you rage-unsubscribe, stay tuned for a 4K review of the incredible Walther P88 family in the next few weeks, and maybe the P99AS, too.**LINKS**A good overview by firydeth comparing the P5 to the P38:youtube.com/watch?v=c0Uf8cMTEpAHe also made a video on how to use P38 mags:youtube.com/watch?v=C5Op5MC8vNoMost information came from this excellent bookset and its out-of-print predecessor: shop.waltherarms.com/walther-a-german-success-story-coffee-table-book-set
Overview: 357 SIG - The Hot Round for Cool Dudes LifeSizePotato 2016-10-28 | A short overview of the slightly misunderstood 357 SIG caliber and why I think it's pretty neat. I feel it has excellent ballistics and performance and is a lot of fun to shoot, though like any cartridge it isn't perfect.And I know I probably spoke too fast in this one again. Sorrynotsorry.
4K Review: Benelli B76 - Not quite a Ferrari...an Alfa Romeo, maybe? LifeSizePotato 2016-09-25 | The Benelli B-series was a line of stylish centerfire pistols produced in the late 70s and throughout the 80s. Though never very popular and generally ignored by the police departments they were intended for, they have a definite retro cool factor that can't be overlooked today. Performance overall is excellent, and if you can live with some of the innovative design's stereotypical Italian quirks, they are really quite rewarding. This video also features instructions on the goofy take-down procedure. Here is a link to the patent: google.com/patents/US3893369I will post a link to the manual soon.
4K Review: H&K P7 - a marvel of German design and engineering LifeSizePotato 2016-09-17 | I've gotten a lot of comments over the years asking for a review of my P7s. It's an amazing family of handguns and collectively are one of my favorite 9mms. I focus on my M13 (and K3) in this video, but I've owned the M8 and PSP and shot them extensively as well. The level of clever ingenuity that went into their design continuously impresses me. They are accurate, incredibly reliable, and just generally a whole lot of fun to shoot. Why don't you have one yet?!
4K Tutorial: H&K USP 10mm - 10 is the Correct Amount of Millimeters LifeSizePotato 2016-09-11 | Note: I have been told that finding aftermarket barrels to ream to 10mm is extremely challenging now. Please research parts availability before getting too excited about this project!This video is a short overview of how I put together my USP in 10mm. It's a pretty easy and inexpensive process that leaves you with a reliable 10mm handgun and the parts to switch back to 40S&W again easily. Reliability for me has been virtually perfect for me, and while I say at the end that it won't be a defensive piece anymore, I think it would probably be fine for that purpose. Highly recommended if you like the idea of a 10mm HK pistol.Parts List:A 126mm STI 2011 magazine in 40S&W. The notch I cut is about 19.5mm down from the top/center of the mag's front surface.Barrel reamed - I used Van's Gunworks in Sandusky, OH. Good service and not expensive.18lbs recoil spring from Wolff Gunsprings.The capacity is 13+1 in this configuration. AMMO THAT RUNS WELL (SO FAR): Buffalo Bore 180gr JHP, Underwood XTP 200gr, HRS Bear Load 200gr, Sig Sauer 180gr, Remington UMC 180gr, Hornady XTP 155gr, Armscor 180gr, and PMC 200gr (had a couple hang-ups with this one).

4K Review: Vektor CP1 - does South Africa have a space program...? LifeSizePotato 2016-09-04 | (This is a better version of my review from 5 years ago.) If not for its utterly sci-fi looks securing its popularity in Hollywood, the Vektor CP1 would be a forgotten and unloved 9mm from South Africa thanks to a safety recall in the early 2000s. This is a shame, in my opinion, because it isn't just a looker, it's also an excellent shooter and very enjoyable at the range, with surprisingly decent build quality to boot. Its unwavering dedication to looking like Mission: Mars 2050 may have it giving up something in the ergonomics and handling departments, but I still think they deserve a place in the collections of shooters looking for a 9mm that's both an interesting conversation piece and fun to use.
4K Review: Beretta 92 Billennium - Italian techno splendor in 9mm LifeSizePotato 2016-08-27 | A quick overview on my limited edition Beretta 92 Billennium. Only 2000 of these were made to commemorate the year 2000, and just 1000 made it to the US market. I love a lot of things about it, including the quality all-steel construction, frame-mounted safety, and cool digital aesthetics, but as a shooter, it falls a bit short.
4K: The Real Top Five .357 Magnum Revolvers ★ G.O.A.T. Edition ★ LifeSizePotato 2016-08-22 | Here's the long overdue sequel to my Top 10 Hipster 9mms video featuring the five greatest 357 DA revolvers of all time. Comments from the last video taught me that I need a thorough and preemptive introduction, so the actual list starts at 1:20. Here are my picks:5. Colt Shooting Master4. S&W Registered Magnum3. Colt Python2. Korth Combat1. Manurhin MR73These selections are based on the following criteria alone: accuracy, fit and finish, build quality and materials, historical significance, and performance at the range. Note that price, availability, and practicality for concealed carry or tactical classes are *NOT* considered, nor are modified and customized revolvers. Additionally, revolvers are such a mature technology, and these are the best-made among them, that I ignored the topic of extreme reliability because it's just a given.If your favorite revolver is not on this list, it's because these are the only revolvers I have ever owned, shot or handled. I hope to someday have access to an elusive Ruger or Taurus or 586 to try out. KEY POINT TO UNDERSTAND: These picks are my opinions. Likewise, whatever you think should be on a G.O.A.T. revolvers list is YOUR opinion. Whatever is on Jerry Miculek's list is HIS opinion. And so on. Please exercise the modicum of self-awareness needed to understand that just because an opinion is yours, doesn't make it an objective fact of reality.You might notice I tried reading a script for the first time with this video, so apologies if I'm speaking a bit fast. I'm new to that technique and hope to refine it with upcoming videos. I'm trying to get motivated to get back in it and work through my overwhelming backlog of unique, exotic and rare handguns to review, so stay tuned!

4K Shooting: HK USP 10mm - two great tastes that taste great together LifeSizePotato 2016-03-19 | This is a project I have been working on for a bit, a USP 40S&W converted to shoot 10mm. So far, after 300 rounds of various brands of ammo, it has been virtually 100% reliable. (A couple bobbles early on but the last ~225 rounds have been perfect.) It's an excellent platform for the round, both accurate and reasonably soft. The protruding magazine isn't ideal and I'm going to try to make another that fits entirely inside the grip. The capacity is 13+1 in this configuration. AMMO THAT RUNS WELL (SO FAR):: Buffalo Bore 180gr JHP, HRS Bear Load 200gr, Sig Sauer 180gr, Remington UMC 180gr, Hornady XTP 155gr, Armscor 180gr, and PMC 200gr (had a few hang-ups with this one)..Read my full write-up with detailed instructions and tips on HK Pro: http://tinyurl.com/jtpwv4y
4K Review: Steyr M357-A1 - that *other* Austrian striker pistol LifeSizePotato 2016-03-08 | NOTE: Sorry for the low framerate. I am fail at video encoding. :-(The Steyr Mx-A1 series of guns is a highly underrated polymer combat option from Austria featuring cool aesthetics and great ergonomics. The latest models have fixed most reliability problems that plagued the earliest guns, and with an excellent trigger (for a striker) and a reasonable price tag, I'd recommend them to any shooter looking for a great shooting not-Glock. The low bore axis makes the design particularly compelling when shooting super hot Underwood ammo, as the reduced muzzle rise allows extremely fast follow-up shots.
4K Review: Vektor SP1 - the South African space Beretta LifeSizePotato 2016-02-11 | The Vektor SP1 was the South African company's upgraded version of their previous Beretta 92FS clone, the Z88. The General's Model is compact and ideal for defensive use, while the Target variant is an excellent range gun, featuring an SAO trigger and extreme accuracy due to a clever bushing system.
Update: Arsenal Firearms Strike One - 1500 rounds later... LifeSizePotato 2016-01-28 | ORIGINAL REVIEW: youtube.com/watch?v=dDlgYpuFxX8(Sorry about the messed up stuttery framerate on this video. Not sure what happened!) Just a quick second look at my Strike One after reaching the 2000-round mark. I didn't get into how the parts wore because there wasn't much to report - the condition of the internals is still fine and the gun looks great. No breakages, either. Stay tuned for more review videos on unique handguns.
4K Shooting: HK USP Elite and USP Expert 9mm with Merkle Tuning weights LifeSizePotato 2015-10-11 | Putting some rounds through some of my favorite guns, the USPs Elite and Expert with Merkle Tuning weight additions. The weights add heft to keep muzzle flip and recoil down, and make the guns feel almost like steel-frame customs. The Expert has a Dawson Precision .28" fiber optic which is great. Probably going to put one on the Elite.
4K: The Real Top 10 9mm Handguns in the World ★ GUN HIPSTER EDITION ★ (NO GLOCKS) LifeSizePotato 2015-10-09 | TOP 357s VIDEO: youtube.com/watch?v=nZzusyfk4zU*PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION AND FAQ BELOW.* I even wrote out the list for you, and I bet I already addressed your comment. :-)These are my picks for the ten best 9mm handguns in the world. "Best" is of course a subjective term, and in this case I don't really mean "best" for concealed carry, or "best" for taking a Costa Ludus class. These are the best for my purposes at the range, and probably for many others, too. Warning: my tastes tend towards the hipster snob and I'm not pretending to limit these to budget guns available at Bud's._________________________________________________________**FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS**There's a trend to many of the comments, so I'll address them and hopefully save us both time:Q: Should have called it "Top 10 Range Guns," liar!A: Do you go to all the other Top 10 lists full of Glocks and CZs and say they should be called "Top 10 Generic and Interchangeable Combat 9mms?" No? Think about why not and maybe you'll understand. This video is titled "GUN HIPSTER EDITION" for a specific reason.Q: Hay idiot, where's the Glock/Hi-Power/92fs?!!1!A: As indicated extremely clearly by the title, this list is for gun savvy hipsters who want to hear about guns that aren't on literally every single other Top 10 list out there. Also, believe it or not, better shooting guns exist, and these count among them. It's Porsches and Ferraris and Astons vs Mazdas and Fords and Dodges. More to the point, shoot a Glock 19 and then a Sig X5 or X6 and tell me which one shoots better. (If you don't know what a hipster is, I can't really help you.)Q: More like "Top 10 guns you own and want to show off, bozo!!!"A: I own a lot more than these. I've shot even more. The ones on this list are just better, IN MY OPINION, as the description states. Q: What makes these better than my Hi-Power/Glock/etc., moran!!A: Guns on this list have qualities such as: superlative triggers, excellent ergos, perfect reliability, top-shelf build quality, extreme accuracy, and enjoyable shooting characteristics. Does your favorite combat 9mm have these, too? Maybe, but that doesn't mean there isn't a gun that does it better. As the description clearly states, this list is not about concealed carry or those epic gun battles you surely find yourself in every day. Q: Heh, this dumb snob doesn't even have a CZ75 on there.A: Literally the first gun in the list is a Swiss-made CZ75. Q: Ur stupid for not having a Luger/Hi-Power, that's the original 9mm!!A: Completely irrelevant. These guns are better at shooting and history is not a factor in that. Q: Uhhhh the reason that other video has millions of views is because it has guns people can actually afford.A: I don't care that much about that guy's list (even though it has a TAURUS on there), it's more that it's a poorly done robot narration of Wikipedia entries over random low-res images he found on Google. Also, price is not a factor if you're trying to determine what the best shooting guns are. Q: The military and police departments don't use these guns so they're obviously trash!!A: Military and LEO have a lot of other considerations besides "what shoots the best" (and many of those considerations don't apply to civilians), and are particularly budget conscious. Q: These guns are unreliable and jam all the time!A: Every gun on here has been 100% for me. If you think only combat-oriented guns can be reliable, you need to get out more.Q: This list is stupid, nobody can buy these guns but you can buy a Glock anywhere~!!A: First off, almost all of them are pretty easily available. Not super cheaply, but that's not the point. Second, completely irrelevant if you're just interesting in knowing what the best performing guns off the beaten path are. Q: Ummmm if you shoot a CZ75B/Glock/M&P/etc., you'll discover that it is actually the best 9mm.A: I have shot them, among many others, and sorry, these are better. Q: You can't carry any of these!A: So what? You don't have to carry every gun you own. And btw, you can actually carry quite a few of these just fine.Q: Where's the P210!A: They are good, great even, but I think the ergonomics are terrible. Feel free to mentally replace the PX4 with the P210 on my list, though.That's about where I'd put it.If you're still upset that your Glock isn't on here, check the related links for 20 other Top 10 videos that no doubt have your gun in them._________________________________________________________**THE LIST**10.

4K Shooting: Beretta Billennium - the tekno remix Beretta 92 LifeSizePotato 2015-10-05 | Putting some rounds through my 48oz all-steel Beretta 92. One-thousand of these were made for the US market to commemorate the year 2000. I don't normally like commemorative guns, but these are cool in their own right - all-steel, fat Brigadier slide, frame-mounted safety, SAO, and some dope carbon fiber grips. I kind of even like the weird design on the slide.
4K Shooting: Korriphila HSP 701 - the finest 45acp in the world LifeSizePotato 2015-10-05 | Putting some rounds through my Korriphila HSP. This is probably the best made semi-auto in the world - yes, it's up there with your favorite handmade 1911s. This one gets bonus points because of a unique roller delay mechanism designed by its creator, Edgar Budischowsky. It's a great shooter, and one of my favorite guns.
4K Shooting: Sig X6 Supermatch with X-Mount weight - over 4lbs of win LifeSizePotato 2015-10-05 | Putting some 124gr rounds through my 9mm Sig X6 Supermatch, now with the cool X-Mount weight addition. Fully loaded it's over 4lbs. Stay tuned for an update review of the gun and my thoughts on the rare weight module.
4K Review: Mateba 6 Unica semi-auto revolver LifeSizePotato 2015-09-22 | This is a redo of my shameful review of the Mateba 6 Unica from 5 years ago, this time in high-res 4K. These innovative revolvers have a unique semi-automatic mechanism that cocks the hammer for you. Are these really worth the $3000 (and more) they command at auction these days, or are they just a silly gimmick "answer to a question nobody asked" like I hear all too often?
Review: Beretta PX4 Storm - Surprisingly great! LifeSizePotato 2015-09-13 | Before I actually bought and shot a PX4 Storm 9mm, I was among the many who kind of scoffed at its try-hard Hollywood looks and cheap discount price, assuming it was a gimmicky lame duck of a gun. I couldn't have been more wrong, and with its excellent trigger and shooting characteristics, it's become a real favorite. It's just so much fun.
Review: Heckler & Koch Mark 23 - How big is it, really? LifeSizePotato 2015-09-03 | The HK Mk23 is almost as legendary for its proportions as it is for its ruggedness. Despite its size, I feel it makes a great range gun or home defense handgun. Plus, it really isn't *that* big...
Shooting: SIG P210-1 - a Swiss legend in 9mm LifeSizePotato 2015-01-04 | Putting a few rounds through my SIG P210-1. There is no 9mm more finely made than a Swiss P210, and these early models with the high polish blued frame are especially nice. Accuracy is under 2" at 50 meters. Unfortunately, hammer bite is a frequent occurrence with this gun.
Shooting: Walther PPS - the best single stack 9mm for carry LifeSizePotato 2015-01-04 | Putting a few rounds through my First Edition Walther PPS in 9mm. I think these are the best single stack 9mm carry guns available. The trigger is good, accuracy is excellent, and the recoil is very soft. I can shoot it all day without discomfort.
Shooting; HK USP Tactical 45 - unsuppressed and suppressed with AAC TiRANT 45 LifeSizePotato 2015-01-03 | Putting a few rounds through my Heckler and Koch USP Tactical, both with the silencer and without.
Shooting; Sphinx AT380-M - a nice 380 from Switzerland LifeSizePotato 2015-01-03 | Putting a few rounds through my Sphinx AT380-M. The gun is an original Sphinx design from the 80s completely unrelated to their SDP or other CZ75-based guns. This particular example has an all-blue finish, which is extremely uncommon. The trigger is DAO and extraordinarily smooth.
Shooting: Steyr GB - a quality Austrian 9mm LifeSizePotato 2015-01-02 | Putting a few rounds through my Steyr GB in 9mm. These were produced in the 80s and held and impressively high amount of ammo for the time, 18+1 rounds. (Notice also how strange the magazine looks - kind of like an AR's.) Accuracy is great thanks to the long sight radius and fixed barrel. Overall quality on this alloy framed gun is also good.
Shooting: Beretta PX4 Storm 9mm - surprisingly good! LifeSizePotato 2015-01-02 | Putting a few rounds through my Beretta PX4 Storm FS in 9mm. I never really gave this gun much consideration, but after I got one, I am convinced. The trigger is quite good, and the rotary barrel system actually does work to soften recoil. I'll do a review in the near future.
Shooting: Manurhin MR73 in 357 and 9mm - literally the best revolver LifeSizePotato 2015-01-02 | Putting some 38spl through my 5.25" Manurhin MR73. After swapping out the cylinders, I also shoot some 9mm through it. I feel that commercial MR73s are the best 357 revolvers ever made, surpassing Pythons and Registered Magnums easily and even beating Korths in many ways. Truly spectacular.
Shooting: HK USP Compact - a superb chunky concealed 9mm LifeSizePotato 2015-01-01 | Putting a few rounds through my H&K USP Compact in 9mm. It's not the smallest "compact" every devised, but the size helps it shoot extremely well and accurately. I'll be putting a match trigger in it soon to really maximize the gun's potential.
Shooting; Vektor CP1 - a cool South African 9mm LifeSizePotato 2015-01-01 | Putting a few rounds through my Vektor CP1 in 9mm. The gun is a surprisingly well-made polymer that uses a gas blowback system similar to the HK P7. Accuracy is excellent.
Shooting: HK USP Expert 9mm - one of H&Ks best LifeSizePotato 2014-12-31 | Putting a few rounds through my Heckler and Koch USP Expert in 9mm. I love the ergos, controls, and most of all, the match trigger. I put a Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight on this. (Height is .280" if you want to order one.)
Review: IMI Jericho 941 Baby Eagle - Israels own CZ75 LifeSizePotato 2014-12-18 | The IMI/IWI Jericho 941 (Baby Eagle, Uzi Eagle, Baby Desert Eagle) is a good quality gun that has movie star looks. It is let down by a stupidly designed safety/decocker, but otherwise has all the makings of an excellent pistol: good trigger, good reliability, and good accuracy.
Review: Delta AR Top Gun - a CZ52 in 45acp LifeSizePotato 2014-12-09 | SHOOTING: youtube.com/watch?v=cSNNwjZbcXwCLOSEUPS: youtube.com/watch?v=k2ihjVk10aEHI-RES PHOTOS - USE AS YOU'D LIKE: http://imgur.com/a/yZ4X5The Italian Delta AR Top Gun is one of my favorite guns. It's a rare hand-built improved version of the CZ52, using the same roller lock system and basic design. Mine is in 45acp, but they were offered in 9mm and 40S&W as well. The gun has a blued steel frame and is beautifully made and shockingly good at the range. A real keeper.Rusty Wood Trading Company - http://www.rustywood.caDelta AR Top Gun manual - http://www.matebafan.com/deltatopgunmanual.pdfPromotional brochure, thanks to a helpful subscriber - http://www.matebafan.com/deltabrochure.pdf
Review: Arsenal Firearms AF1 Strike One - a Russian Glock-beater? LifeSizePotato 2014-11-23 | Sorry for the length on this one. The Arsenal Firearms Strike One, though made in Italy, was designed in Russia for Spetsnaz and other special forces. Its key selling points are the extremely low bore axis and the non-tilting barrel, both designed to reduce muzzle flip and increase speed. They have been available in the US since early November 2014 for $884 shipped from Sooner State Arsenal.Verdict for those who can't spare 26 minutes? It's a great gun, let down by a mediocre Glocky trigger. Muzzle flip is indeed reduced, but not to the impressive extent seen in the Chiappa Rhino.Just for fun, here are some polymer matchups and who would win in my mind:AF1 vs. USP: USP. Perfect reliability, better ergos, and, more importantly, the match trigger upgrade kit, which beats the AF1 handily.AF1 vs. Glock: Ignoring price, AF1. Better made. AF1 vs. XD: Ignoring price, AF1. Better made, better trigger, lower recoil, less ugly.AF1 vs. PPQ/VP9: Tough call. The Walther and HK have better triggers for sure. It's a draw.AF1 vs. Steyr M9A1: Steyr. Cheaper, also well made, and better trigger. Looks cooler, too.
Shooting: Benelli MP3S - sleek Italian bullseye in 9mm and 32S&W Wadcutter LifeSizePotato 2014-11-08 | Putting a few rounds through both of my Benelli MP3Ses, based on the B76 platform. These are the most premium, top-of-the-line Benelli B-series pistols available. They are single action-only and geared at bullseye competition shooting. The triggers are superb. This 9mm version is the first and only 9mm MP3S I've ever actually been able to confirm the existence of. The 32S&W Wadcutter variant is the more common of the two, though still extremely rare. Recoil is almost non-existent in that one.
Shooting: Benelli B76S Sport 9mm - an Italian DA/SA race car LifeSizePotato 2014-11-05 | Putting a few rounds through my Benelli B76S Sport. This model is based on the more common B76, but features enhancements like: ergonomic anatomical grips, tuned DA/SA trigger, high gloss slide, barrel weight, and extended sight radius. It's a great shooter, very accurate and it's beautifully finished.
Review: WWF Little Tom - the first DA/SA handgun ever LifeSizePotato 2014-10-31 | A review of a couple unique Austrian pistols from the 1920s. The Wiener Waffenfabrik's Little Tom pistols were the first semi-autos on the market to use a DA/SA trigger system. Before them, every semi-auto was SAO or striker fired. It eventually inspired the designed of the Walther PP. The coolest part about these guns, though, is the way the magazines work.Ed Buffaloe's article about the Little Tom: http://unblinkingeye.com/Guns/ATLT/atlt.html
Shooting: Benelli B77 - a fantastic Italian 32acp LifeSizePotato 2014-10-28 | Putting a few rounds through my Benelli B77, which is the 32acp version of the more common B76 in 9mm. It is probably my best shooting 32acp - very accurate, excellent grip angle, nicely weighted steel construction, and a good trigger. B77s are extremely hard to find, but the B76s come up from time to time. I think of them as the poor man's Pardini GT9, which is far from an insult.
Shooting: Pardini GT9 - My favorite 9mm LifeSizePotato 2014-10-22 | Putting a few rounds through my Pardini GT9. This is a high-end Italian target pistol and due to its styling, trigger, ergonomics and accuracy, is my absolute favorite 9mm at the range.
Shooting: MAB PAP F1 - not your everyday PA-15 LifeSizePotato 2014-10-22 | Putting a few rounds through my MAB PAP F1, which is a match-grade accurized version of the more common PA-15. These were used by French military and pistol team competitors and feature similar accuracy to the legendary Swiss P210. The guns are all steel, weighing in at 44oz, and feature a rotating barrel similar to the Beretta PX4 Storm.
Shooting: Vektor SP1 Target - A target Beretta 92 from South Africa LifeSizePotato 2014-10-22 | Putting a few rounds through my Vektor SP1 Target. The regular SP1 is a well-made Beretta 92 clone from South Africa. This is the accurized SAO target version. Build quality and performance are great, and the slide racks as smoothly as a P210 or Pardini GT9.
Shooting: Colt Diamondback 22lr - a mini Python LifeSizePotato 2014-10-21 | Putting a few rounds through my Colt Diamondback in 22lr. Shame about the rubber grips.
Shooting: Manurhin MR93 4 - a space revolver as imagined by 1990s France LifeSizePotato 2014-10-21 | Putting a few rounds through my weird but cool Manurhin MR93. I had run out of ammo by this point unfortunately so all I could film was the single-action demo. This gun isn't really related to the legendary MR73, sharing some DNA with Rugers, believe it or not, but it is still a great shooter and looks cool.
Shooting: 1934 Colt Detective Special - the original gangster gun LifeSizePotato 2014-10-21 | Putting a few rounds through my 1934 Colt Detective Special in 38spl. The silver piece on the grip is a Tyler T-Grip.
Face-off: Colt Detective Special vs Chiappa Rhino 200DS LifeSizePotato 2014-10-21 | This is a redo of a comparison video I made a couple years ago, pitting my old school 1934 Colt Detective Special against the futuristic Chiappa Rhino.
Shooting: IMI Jericho 941 9mm LifeSizePotato 2014-10-20 | Putting a few rounds through my IMI Jericho 941 in 9mm. These are Israeli guns based on the CZ75/Tanfoglio pattern. All steel and very heavy, they offer solid build quality, good triggers, and good accuracy. I only wish I had the frame-mounted safety version.
Shooting: JSL Spitfire Mark II in 9mm - a British CZ75 LifeSizePotato 2014-10-20 | Putting a few rounds through my rare JSL Spitfire Mark II. JSL was a British firearms manufacturer who only existed for a few years in the 90s. They specialized in high-quality, handmade CZ75 clones made of all steel. This one has a compensator that reduces felt recoil to almost nothing.
Shooting: Sphinx AT2000S - A Swiss Jewel in 9mm LifeSizePotato 2014-10-20 | Putting a few rounds through my Swiss-made Sphinx AT2000S. This is essentially a hand-made CZ75/Tanfoglio clone, crafted of the best materials and with extremely tight fitment. It's the ultimate CZ75.
Shooting: Walther P88 Competition 9mm LifeSizePotato 2014-10-19 | Putting a ferw rounds through my Walther P88 Competition in 9mm. These are based on the Walther P88 Compact but feature an astonishingly good SAO trigger. It is one of the best semi-auto triggers I have.
Shooting: Walther P88 9mm - Meet the PPQs grandpa LifeSizePotato 2014-10-19 | Putting a few rounds through my Walther P88 in 9mm.
