Working with the enhanced version of the Rock Island 5.0 9mm competition pistol is a joy. Also, the Stoeger SRT-9 now comes in colors…it’s spring, after all.

This week we tackle the existential question of why one might purchase a more expensive car — or gun — over a less expensive version. Also, why Michael loves the RIA 5.0e.

This week we answer some questions that have come in over the transom about the Lipsey’s/S&W Ultimate Carry revolvers. Also, why you should give Lost River Ammo a shot, and starting to work with the Rock Island 5.0e supergun.

This week’s podcast is an interesting mixed lot. There’s the fun of getting ready to start training for the Texas Nilgai hunt in November. Then there’s the deadly serious next installment of “Understanding the Changing Self-Defense Landscape."

With our T&E Lipsey’s/S&W snub revolvers in hand, we start with some comparisons to other pocket carry pistols and highlight the design features of the new guns.

But before we head to South Texas to hunt the great bull, the Nilgai, we need to have a serious talk about hunting.

The long-barreled Taurus Judge offers an advantage over any shorter barreled .410s, especially with 3-inch buckshot loads. Also Tisas’ high-value PX-9 and excellent new products from MTM Case-Gard and Streamlight!

This week Michael wades into the ever-popular .410 as a potential self-defense cartridge and Taurus’ new 13-inch Home Defender.

The introduction of the new S&W Ultimate Carry J-Frame in .32 H&R triggered a flood of questions, and this week Michael tries to answer at least a few of them!

That’s right…this week is Catch Up on All the New products on Michael's Desk week.
