I have long been a fan of the Springfield Armory when it comes to 1911s. Much like the Dos Equis beer guy: I don’t always shoot single stacks, but when I do, the odds are high that it’s a Springfield. This week, GunsAmerica got a first look at the new Range Officer (RO) Elite models.

There are a few places to purchase the kits, but AR15Mold.com provides a kit for molding a lower receiver in any color. And thus, began our mold pouring journey. I started this process extremely skeptical. However, I have yet to see an AR lower made of anything besides aluminum or carbon fiber that lasts.

One of the top questions I get when people go to buy their first AR is, “What barrel length should I get?”

I have always carried autos, but that is as much a training scar as a lifestyle choice.

This BCM Mk12 Mod 0 review was a fun trip down memory lane. If you are a collector or carried one of these in the war, I recommend it highly. Mine shot 1-inch groups at 100-meters with 77-grain Black Hills loads.

Sig Sauer seems poised to take over the world these days. It seems like they have a winner in every market segment except kitchen sinks, and they are probably working on kitchen sinks right now. A huge win for Sig has been the MPX family of pistol caliber carbines, and this week we got our hands on one to test.

Federal introduced the new Edge TLR (Terminal Long Range) bullets in .308. The bullets are tipped with a hollow polymer shell that is supposed to shear off on impact, leaving a massive hollowpoint.

Camelbak has been in the military backpack game for quite a while and they do it better than most. It might not be the first name that comes to mind when you think tactical, but it should be.

Caracal is back, and they are better than ever. After a very limited release and subsequent full recall a few years ago, new Enhanced F pistols are finally available again.
