A suppressed .22 is the most fun you can have with a gun that costs a few cents a shot. The report drops to something closer to a nail gun than a gunshot, the recoil was already nothing, and new shooters stop flinching almost immediately. One of our writers watched a nervous 8-year-old at the [...]

The best semi auto hunting rifles give you something a bolt gun cannot: a fast second shot without taking your eye off the animal. A good autoloader also soaks up recoil through its gas system, so the rifle moves less and you see the hit. That matters on running hogs, on a deer that steps [...]

Here is the itch: you already own a Springfield Echelon 4.5 and it is a good pistol. What you do not want is to torch that investment on a whole new PDW-ish gun just to get rails, a rear Picatinny, and something that shoots flatter when you brace it. Strike Industries’ SMC Bravo chassis is [...]

Coyotes do not care what your rifle cost. They care whether you can put the first round where it needs to go at 250 yards, in wind, after you have been sitting on a cold hillside for 40 minutes trying not to twitch. Everything else is gear-shopping therapy. So this list of the best coyote [...]

The best .22LR rifle in 2026 is still the gun that teaches you everything expensive centerfires pretend they invented. Trigger control. Sight picture. Follow-through.

The best 5.7×28 pistols of 2026 have taken a cartridge that was once a niche curiosity and made it one of the most talked-about rounds in the gun world. The 5.7x28mm was designed by FN in the late Cold War as a personal defense weapon round for troops who needed something lighter than a rifle [...]

Polymer wonder-nines own the gun-counter chatter in 2026, and that is fine until your hands are sweaty, your shirt is wrong, and the slide refuses to cooperate. A best personal defense revolver still solves problems that autos create: no magazine to forget, no slide to rack under stress, and a trigger press that does the [...]

The best IWI guns bring Israeli military designs to American shooters, from the Tavor bullpup and Galil ACE to the Jericho, Masada and UZI. IWI, Israel Weapon Industries, grew out of Israel Military Industries, and its US arm builds and imports guns for the civilian market. Our reviewers at GunsAmerica Digest have tested these guns [...]

Aram Von Benedikt once fired a scoped rifle from a dead rest at 25 yards and could not find the hole. Not low. Not left. Gone. The rifle had been drilled and tapped off center, and even with the windage cranked all the way over, the bullet was still off his target box. His fix [...]
