Hunt, Compete, Defend
Several readers have asked me for reviews of pistol caliber carbines. Others have asked for reviews of value-priced firearms. I suppose that makes this initial review of the Bear Creek Arsenal BC-9 a twofer.
CZ makes some amazing competition pistols. The CZ 75 TS Czechmate was one of those. Even though it doesn’t dominate USPSA/IPSC Open and Limited divisions like the Shadow 2 dominates Carry Optics and Production divisions, it’s still worth taking a look at.
Is it possible to make an already amazing gun better? Yes, it is. And that is exactly what happens to a CZ Shadow 2 when Cajun Gun Works works their magic on it.
The debut of Springfield Armory’s 1911 DS Prodigy pistol has created a lot of buzz. I’m cautiously optimistic about it, but I’m fired up about the waves it may create for the 2011 platform in the defensive pistol market.
Five thousand rounds through a single gun might sound like a lot, but it goes by faster than one would expect when putting in the work with a gun. Zero failures after 5K is something to take note of.
Sometimes the difference between holding a pistol and dry firing it versus shooting it is night and day. In the case of the CZ Shadow 2, the difference was astronomical – it went from favorable to marvelous.
