Sig Sauer P232, a gentleman’s concealed carry
The Sig Sauer P232 is not a popular handgun. Its not something that you find at the LGS (Local Gun Shop) unless by chance. When you do get to see one in person, especially the stainless model, it is striking. All metal, well built, fits in the hand like it […]
Boberg XR9s (Starting to grow on me)
Perhaps I have been to harsh towards this little gun. I’m starting to like it. I’m starting to get the same feelings I had from the point in time when I first saw the handgun, and the point of its first trip to the range. I really want to feel […]
Boberg XR9-s and Civil Defense 50gr 9mm ammo
I have owned a Boberg XR9s for a while now. I like interesting handguns, and the mechanics of this handgun are indeed interesting. Is a double action only pocket 9mm, that has the breech set back further than a normal handgun. To accomplish this, it uses an elaborate system to […]

Molding the P30 Match Weight
I just poured the first part of the match weight mold. Underneath all that clay and silicone is the p30 Match Weight prototype 7. I have pretty much given up on machining the part. Dozens of companies declined to quote the part because of a mix of high complexity, and […]
DIY Moldgun (Drone, Prop) for Kydex holster makeing
I’m making a Kydex holster for my HK USP Match Clone. I plan to do it using a split mold and a vacuum press. So the first step is getting a split mold. No one seems to sell one so I’ve set out to build my own. Last night I […]
P30 Match: Barrel back from being ported
On the original HK USP Match, the attachment on the front of the handgun was a weight. This extra weight so far in front of the center of gravity of the handgun was used to cut down on muzzle flip. But with the advantages came a down side. The extra […]
