Mon, 03/29/2021 - 19:00

FK Brno PSD Review: The Best BIg Pistol Yet? Truth be told, I am a bit of a hand cannon junkie.  I love going out to shoot my .44 Magnum wheelguns, and always appreciate a range session with a friend’s .454, .460, .480, .500 and so on.  While all these pistols are a hoot to […]
