Back in December of last year, we reported that a version of the Safariland 7TS holster had been selected to serve as the Army’s new issued M17 holster. Photos of an issued unit have surfaced in the Facebook group Primary & Secondary that not only show the manual, labeling it as the “Army Modular Handgun … Read more
At a recent media event hosted by High Speed Gear and SIG SAUER, I had the chance to spend some quality time with the new SIG P320 X-Five SIG’s new five-inch competition gun featuring the improved X-Five trigger.
