In this video, we're going to show you how to field strip and properly clean the Kimber Solo, and then go over some features about the firearm. Kimber developed this single stack 9mm "pocket pistol" after seeing the success of many other firearms manufacturers in the subcompact pistol market.
This gun has great aesthetics and is extremely concealable. However, the Kimber Solo does require a bit of special care. Kimber recommends replacing the recoil spring every 1,000 rounds, something we found to be unusual.
Kimber also designed this pistol to strictly use 124-grain ammo; anything else will not function as well. There's also a "Crimson Trace" version of this pistol, with a laser grip built in. It does come standard with 3-dot, but if you're going to use this as your EDC gun, then look into night sights.
In this video, we're going to be showing you how to properly attach the Viridian R5 (Reactor) laser to the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield. The Shield we're using in this video is a 9mm, but it would work the same with the Shield .40 S&W or Shield .45 ACP.
The R5 laser features ECR, or Enhanced Combat Readiness, technology which allows for a very easy on/off of the laser when you draw it from an ECR-compatible holster. The laser will turn on when the gun is drawn, and turn off when reholstered.
This means that in those precious seconds of drawing and sighting, you don't have to worry about turning on a laser. Continue scrolling for the full video!
The Bond Arms Snake Slayer is a modern, two-shot derringer that comes in multiple calibers, such as .357 Magnum, .38 Special, .40 S&W, .45 Long Colt, and .410 shotgun shells. It is a single action pistol, with multiple barrel options coming in 2.5", 3.5" and 4.25".
The Snake Slayer has a swing open barrel release and the release lever is easy to operate. The ergonomics on this pistol aren't anything special but for how compact and simple it is, it's not a deal breaker.
The Bond Arms Snake Slayer does have retracting firing pins that alternate to fire each barrel. The grips come standard with rosewood, but you could get aftermarket grips if you prefer.
There's also a push in safety and spent casing extractor, and Bond Arms even makes speed loaders for it. If you're
In this video, we'll be showing you how to field strip and clean the Colt Defender Series 90, as well as go over some features and details about the firearm. The Colt Defender hit the market in 2000, and they've become quite popular because of their 1911 styling and compact size while delivering the power of the .45 ACP round.
The Defender does comes in 9mm as well. The Colt Defender features low-mounted Novak sights, with a stainless steel slide and aluminum alloy frame. It has a standard slide lock/release and manual thumb safety, as well as a scalloped ejection port. The extended beavertail prevents slide bite and is attached to the grip safety.
The backstop safety has a slight ridge to make sure that it is fully depressed to fire the gun. The magazine holds 7 rounds, plus one in the chamber.
Here's eleven of the strangest pistols we've ever seen. Some are imaginative while others are just comical, but all of them have their place in history. Enjoy Urban Carry's list of the 11 most bizarre pistols in history.
Pepperbox pistols were popular in the 19th century, finding favor with soldiers as backup weapons, and various versions were used for self-defense. They received their name due to their resemblance to household pepper grinders, and just like a pepper grinder, you usually had to rotate the barrels by hand.
Later versions of the pepperbox pistol utilized a self-cocking system that rotated the barrels using a double-action trigger. Once the modern revolver
