"HKs Weird Trigger System and the P30SK If you've never fired a Heckler & Koch pistol with an LEM trigger it's kinda hard to explain. A lot of people think it's just a light double action but that doesn't really do it justice. Today we're looking at what is really unique about the LEM trigger as well as a brief review of the HK P30SK -- the subcompact variant of what some consider to be the best pistol HK has ever made"

"Close Quarters Shotgun Technique Shotguns can be excellent tools for home defense but their long overall length presents some challenges for maneuvering in tight spaces. Today we're looking at a technique called "short stocking" that was developed to meet those challenges. Short stocking has long been used by law enforcement and other entry teams but it's equally relevant for the armed citizen at home. The demo pump shotgun used in the "talking head" portions of this video is an off-the-shelf Remington [---] with an 18.5" barrel. The shooting demo was done with a Remington [---] with a Magpul"

".32 ACP is Pretty Good Too If you've been following our Pocket Pistols series you might have noticed a recurring theme: these so-called "mouse gun" calibers are not nearly as useless as the prevailing wisdom suggests. .32 ACP is no exception. While it's fallen out of favor in recent years even in a pocket pistol role .32 ACP offers a clear benefit in reduced recoil (allowing quicker and more accurate shooting) over the more popular .380 ACP while the reduction in ballistic effectiveness is minimal. In this overview of .32 ACP as a self-defense caliber we're taking a quick look at its history"

"Smith & Wesson M&P [---] Shield EZ Review The Smith & Wesson M&P [---] Shield EZ is not a pocket pistol and its not trying to be one. Its more in line with the size of the current crop of compact single stack 9mm pistols and even a bit larger than most of those. However Im including this review with our Pocket Pistol Series because .380 ACP is generally thought of as a pocket pistol caliber. But that doesnt have to be the case. While skeptics will likely see this gun and immediately consider the [---] Shield to be too big for a .380 for a great number of shooters its just right. And that very well"

"Are Pistol Sights Actually Useful For Self-Defense A few weeks ago we looked at whether red dot sights are a good idea for a concealed carry pistol. Lots of our followers expressed skepticism -- not just for red dot sights but for any kind of sights being useful in a real world defensive encounter. Is there a specific distance where we should plan to shoot "instinctively" rather than rely on the sights Is sighted fire even possible considering the close range and quick reaction times required in most scenarios Should we be practicing a combination of sighted fire and point shooting We can't"

But the way we experience that recoil -- the perceived or felt recoil -- often varies dramatically from one gun to the next. Even if we compare two guns of equal weight firing the same cartridge and theoretically transferring the same amount of energy to the shooter's hand via recoil it's possible for the *felt* recoil to be vastly different. We analyzed some more high speed footage to help explain why. More on blowback versus locked breech/recoil operated pistols:"
