Longslide .45
A review of this Eagle XL is coming soon. In the meantime, does anyone know where I can get aftermarket sights to fit Iver Johnson brand 1911?

Performance notes on a two-barrel set
WW2 Uhertl scope, others like it
Does anyone in or near Nasvhille have such an item that I could photograph? I could use images of any optics older than about 1970.
The utility of armor
Getting hit isn’t fun even with hard armor on, but trauma pads spread the impact widely enough to avoid most injury. Definitely beats being able to see daylight through your own torso.

Learning from the misfortunes of others
Since assassins, same as other violent criminals, get to choose the time and the place of the attack, they often land the first hit before the victim can respond. To that end, concealable armor can be a lifesaver. The example … Continue reading
