This week on Student of the Gun: Colt Combat Elite, Concealed Carry Round Up, and Hog Hunting Tips

We read your emails and listened to your requests.   Fans of the classic .45ACP should be sure to tune in.  On this week’s show Paul takes a close look at the Colt Combat Elite M1911 .45 ACP pistol.  In the concealed carry department we have a three product round-up for you as we examine some new holsters from our friends at Comp-Tac Victory Gear.

As we like to do, Student of the Gun was on the road again to Texas.  We visited with our friend Bill Wilson on the Circle WC Ranch.  Bill and Paul sat down to talk about hog hunting and discuss why shot placement on a hog and shot placement on a whitetail deer are not the same.

In the training department we’ll consider the value of using a .22LR pistol, such as the new S&W MP22, for practical handgun training.  Two young men recently ran through our SOTG University course using those pistols.  And finally, just for fun we take an in depth look at the Uzi carbine from Century Arms during our Guns of Gaming segment.
