History of the Tec-9 and Dating a Tec-9

If you haven’t figured out by now, I like firearms. Every firearm has something about them that is interesting (although I haven’t found that in Hi-Point yet). Anyway, I recently became the owner of an infamous Tec-9. That’s right: the firearm seen as a gangster gun, and one that frequently jams, and when it is firing, it’s very inaccurate. In short, I like mine! I have put hundreds of round through it with no problems. I had one failure to feed, but I was messing with the safety at that point, so it could have been user error. Accuracy was spot on at twenty feet. At forty, I was at least hitting the target. Regardless of how “cool” the little thing is, history, information, and age details were hard to find, and all over the place. In all of my gun books, the Tec-9 wasn’t mentioned once! So I have compiled as much information as I could, and put it here, in the event anyone is looking for what I was. HISTORY The company all started back

Sharpens Best Knife Sharpener Review

When I was a kid, I was obviously too young to collect firearms. So, I collected knives and swords. I managed to amass quite the collection. The only problem with knives is that using them makes them dull. I got away with a cheap sharpener for a bit, but it started to wear out. When looking online for a new one, I came across a site called Sharpens Best. While their site sharpensbest.com was cool, what really got me was their YouTube channel . Millions of views, over 30,000 subscribers, and lots of cool things being done with sharp knives. I was sold. I decided to reach out to them and ask them about their sharpeners. Long story short, they hooked me up with some stuff and I agreed to review their “Poker Chip” sharpener. They also wanted me to torture test it, but we’ll get to that in a little bit. Their Poker Chip is their smallest sharpener, but all of them function the same way: they all have a piece of tungsten carbide in them. This piece of metal I w

SCCY CPX-2 Guiderod and Spring Upgrade

By now it should be no secret that I am a fan of SCCY Industry’s CPX-2. It’s small enough to fit in a pocket, yet big enough to be intimidating. It holds 11 rounds of whatever 9mm you want to put in it (10+1), and all that can run you a street price of just $250. However, it may have its share of problems, but that’s what the no questions asked warranty is for. After that, there still are things that can be better. That’s what after market is for. Galloway Precision has all the goodies for the SCCY. A while back they sent me some Traction Grips for it, and now I have their upgraded guiderod and spring. According to Galloway Precision, this 20lb spring will help reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip over the standard 16lb one from the factory. They say the stainless steel construction is more durable then the stock one as well. I put those claims to the test, and while I was pleased with some aspects, there were also some aspects that left som
