Rock Island Armory Tactical 2011 with VZ grip

This is a review of the Rock Island Armory Tactical 2011 with VZ grip from Ballisics 101. We currently have this same gun but with the standard WOOD grips available in the store (these 2011s are pretty hard to come by)

Bersa Thunder Pro Ultra Compact 9mm

The Bersa Thunder Pro Ultra Compact 9MM  an excellent choice for those needing stopping power without bulk. Preserving the best features of the standard Thunder Pro, the Thunder Pro Ultra Compact is a superior value in a compact, service grade handgun. Like the standard Pro, the Thunder Pro Ultra Compact features an improved Browning Petter barrel locking system which provides reliable feeding and ejection. The safety, cocking lever, slide stop levers and magazine catch are completely ambidextrous making this a perfect fit for right or left handers.

Here comes the Judge

The Taurus Judge is probably one of the most controversial handguns out there. Some people swear it is the best things since sliced bread, and others say it makes a really bad personal defense weapon. Regardless, it is popular. And Taurus definitely knows how to jump on a bandwagon. They have recently introduced the Public Defender Poly, which brings the Judge line in to the polymer revolver craze.

Woolrich Elite CCW Tactical Clothing

It's easy to get that "high speed, low drag" tactical look, if that is what you want. But most of us want to hide the fact that we are carrying a concealed weapon, not advertise it. So, when a major manufacturer comes out with a line of clothing that includes some very "non-tactical" looking tactical items, it needs to be checked out. I know, just get a Hawaiian shirt. I have a lot of those, but these shirts not only look good untucked with their square bottoms, but they have side seams and bottom false button fasteners that make getting to your weapon even faster.

Walther PK380

Mention Walther handguns, and the mind immediately wanders to Agent 007 and his PPK. It may not have the same mystique, but the new PK380 is a light weight, medium sized, locked breech pistol that fits a variety of shooters for both primary and backup carry.

Cold Steel Ti-lite Zytel tactical folding knife

I had to throw this in here, because it is one that I own and am very happy with. Not too heavy, but very sturdy. Easy opening, locks very tight but still folds easily. Not the most expensive every day carry knife, but it really does the job for me. It is a great self-defense EDC, as opposed to an utility knife.

Para USA GI Expert

Para USA makes a number of fine firearms, including an extensive line of 1911 and similar weapons. They have a line of traditional single stack, and some very innovative double stack handguns. The GI Expert is very traditional, 5 inch Government model with a few updated features that most shooters will really like. And best of all, it is probably one of the least expensive of the decent 1911 models available.
