The Model 66-8 Combat Magnum lives up to the K-frame’s reputation. In my opinion, a .357 magnum is a good choice for self-defense, and I’d prefer to carry the .357 Magnum in a revolver like the S&W Model 66 Combat Magnum.

There is a simplicity to a striker-fire pistol and the Glock G47 MOS delivers on performance, reliability, accuracy, safety, and ease of use. The G47 performed flawlessly. Point, shoot, repeat. That’s what Glocks do best.

Admit it. We all have had a Ruger Mini-14 in our past lives. The classic wood and blued steel Mini-14 helped whet our appetite for 5.56 caliber semi-automatic rifles pre-AR-15 days.

Tisas is a firearms maker in Turkey and produces the model D10. This pistol offers a lot of quality and performance for a little coin.

The PDP 4.5”, like all of the PD series, is a 9mm striker-fire, recoil-operated pistol with a polymer frame. The PDP checks a lot of boxes for a 9mm striker fire.

If you are a 9mm fan you might want to skip this G21 Gen5 review. It’s a .45 caliber thing, you wouldn’t understand. But if you are curious about getting a .45 Auto pistol then, please start reading.

When is a gun defined as a firearm? Even better when is a gun a ghost? If you are a staunch 2nd  Amendment advocate as I am plus like to build stuff — especially stuff that goes bang — then 80 percent lowers no doubt tickle your fancy. According to the Federal Government, the Polymer80 Spectre 80 percent pistol kit is nothing more than a piece of polymer, but apply some calculated cuts with drill bits and cutting tools, shape the polymer with a file and sand paper, and add parts and that inert piece of plastic becomes a functioning semi-automatic pistol.

Love it or hate it, the 10mm round deserves respect. Both the chambering and the 6.3-inch barrel that Dan Wesson equips the Bruin with make it a great choice for hunting—especially with 10mm cartridges loaded to their full potential. Pigs, deer, and bear within close range will fall prey to the Bruin.

The Arex Rex Zero 1S combines SIG-style features with a distinctly 1911-style feature into a rugged and reliable self-defense firearm.
