The M17/M18’s were guns I had an admitted nasty pre-disposition towards. Being an Airborne Ranger combat vet, I’m pissy about the Armed Services adopting weapons that aren’t top rate. After the “drop-fire” fiasco (and the M9 slide break fiasco), I was a bit up in arms (pun very much intended) about Sig’s failure to present a top of the line handgun to our troops. That’s fixed now, and any lingering anger over the issue is counter productive to answering the question “How is the gun now?”. Ten minutes and a handful of mags is far from a torture test or even a thorough review. It did give me time to gauge whether I could drop rounds where I wanted (I could) and whether there were any glaring issues. Happily, there were not. The ergonomics were just fine, with a good grip and controls placed within reach of the average hand. That’s really what a military handgun has to be, a one-size-fits-all gun that’s really a final option for most. The gun didn’t shock or amaze me, but it did leave me feeling that the gun (as it now is), is a solid option.

Glock 42 This little .380 isn’t exactly new, but this was my first time shooting it. I understand the idea. Done right, the idea is awesome. Even using the anemic .380 can be mitigated by the right ammo (hello, Norma). Not enough grip for me, Not by a finger-and-a-half. Fine if you have Barbie hands. Diamondback Firearms DBX 5.7 I’ve heard 2020 dubbed “the year of the 5.7” as multiple companies are dropping new products revolving around this boutique cartridge. More guns however, means more ammo options as buyers accumulate. The first I’ve seen so far was Diamondback Firearms’ neat little DBX. This little gun is sub-4 lbs, with an 8” barrel and an (optional) brace. The mags are compatible with FN FiveSeven magazines, though we used Pro-Mag products to shoot with. This is kind of the “anti .300 Blk”, slinging a lighter, faster bullet instead of having (also optional) 220 gr subsonic rounds. This was a fun little gun to shoot. No price yet.
