They want to replace the M9 with a Modular Handgun. Who will compete? Here are my picks for the top 5 entries into the circus.

With Christmas approaching, it is a great time to think about all of those upgrades to your guns you have been thinking about. One I have been considering for some time is putting a scope mount on my M1A, but my assumptions were that it was both expensive and difficult, requiring a gunsmith. Turns out I was wrong on both counts. There are expensive options and inexpensive options for installing a rear scope mount on the M1A, and they work equally as well. I tried both the official Springfield Armory mount, as well as a couple exact copies, as well as a new design from UTG. They all worked, and some better than others.

The H&K P2000sk is the smallest pistol H&K makes. With its 10 rounds of 9mm, the gun offers better than average sub compact capacity and excellent ergonomics. This is easily one of the most robust pistols in its class, and one of the easiest to shoot. So why isn't it more popular?

The SIG P226 has been around for 30 years now, and its reputation continues to grow. And SIG continues to make upgrades to the platform. The P226 Tactical Operations takes what is already a fine fighting sidearm and refines it, adding features that make it faster, more responsive, and easier to feed. The result, the TacOps, is now my go-to gun for when things get really bad.

The NSR C-5 is a holster built for concealment. It is designed to ride inside the waistband, and can be tucked underneath a shirt. The holster build is minimalist, but has room for expansion. It allows the end user to modify the rig to suit his or her needs. Allowing for adjustment in cant, depth, and retention, the C-5 is truly flexible.

As much as I might judge a company by its product and initial quality, I give equal (if not more) consideration to how they handle problems. You can fix a gun--you can’t fix a bad customer experience. In the video I’ll show you and tell you everything that was wrong with the SR45 I purchased, and then I’ll show you how Ruger's customer service team handled it. Get a fresh cup of Joe and watch the saga!
