Depends on the gun and carry method. Using the zipper for #1 shouldn't cause problems with anything, unless of course you have Thunderware maybe. As for #2, I carry in a tuckable IWB, so it doesn't really stay at the belt properly unless it's on your waist. But I find that if I unbuckle and unzip an...

I bought a case and shot some out of my MKIII with TacSol 4in upper and YHM Mite can. There was no noticeable sound difference between that and the standard 40 grain ammo - I don't have a chronograph, but I'm guessing that the 40 grain was already subsonic out of the 4in barrel. But I did notice tha...

It depends on what you really want to practice. Airsoft is fine for practicing handling and close range/high speed marksmanship, but I wouldn't expect to get much benefit for 25-yard plus shooting skills. You give up really good accuracy and some handling difference (unless you get a really good rep...

The trigger pull is still long, but it's lighter than it would be otherwise. Also, I noticed that the size of yo...

It was my understanding that one of the critical design points that the 5.7 weapons were designed around was that the person they were shooting at would almost certainly be wearing armor. Therefore, they gave up some performance against unarmored targets to get much better armor penetration. For rea...

I got one of these to use with my mk III last week, and just took it to the range last weekend. At first, it seemed to need excessive shaking and would let the 10th round past the ball but wouldn't load it. I backed the screw that hits the mag's thumb catch back a few turns, and then it worked perfe...
