The SIG P238 seems to be the most popular .380acp autopistol on the market today.   I recently purchased one, so I will give you and open and honest review based on personal experience nothing more, nothing less.  That’s the first half of the show, the second half is about overcoming shooter anxiety and some more listener feedback. I also discuss a little bit about Open Carry.

Highlights:

  • Why I like the SIG P238
  • Why at first I thought it was an expensive mistake.
  • Review of the pistol after 250 rounds in one range session.
  • Why some people get nervous in competition shooting.
  • How to overcome the jitters and nerves.
  • What to do if you’re carjacked at gunpoint.

The 9mm 1911 used to be considered a “sissy” gun.  Not anymore.  Seem like more and more people are choosing to buy the 1911 in this caliber because of the low cost of .45 ammo and the light weight of the gun.  And because it’s in a 1911 platform that so many shooters know and love.

Now I’m an owner of a 9mm, 1911 pistol.  Tune in to hear about the advantages and disadvantages of this gun and why I bought it and why I think it’s an excellent concealed carry choice for shooters who like the 1911 platform but my want something other than .45acp.

Kimber Ultra CDP II review.  After renting one and shooting it at the range, I do a brief review of this pistol.  Some gun reviews are nothing but positive and it seems like the author is trying to sell the gun.  I do not represent any gun manufacturer in any way and as mentioned on my show many times, I’m just a private citizen with a passion for handguns.  So you will get my unbiased review.  This is a great pistol though.  I do point out it’s negatives as well.
