Dan Wesson ECO–The Perfect EDC 1911?
Updated: October 15, 2015Some pistols seem to simply exist. They’re fun on the range, but they lack defining purpose. And then there’s the Dan Wesson ECO. This is a compact single action that has every feature you could want on a single action meant for concealed carry. Check out our review.
Walther’s American Pistols
Updated: October 10, 2015Walther is best known for a gun they designed in the middle of the last century. But the new polymer pistols are geared for the American market. Walther’s making guns for daily carry, for competition, and concealed carry. We had the rare opportunity to shoot all of them recently and are here with a retrospective.
The Century PAP M92 – Krink on a Budget
Updated: October 9, 2015The Century PAP M92 might be the most AK you can buy for the money. The over-sized pistol is formidable right out of the box. But with a few modifications, this gun becomes a serious tool for close quarters work. Check out what we’ve done to the M92.
Brand New from Sig–Legion 9mm Pistol–Hands On Review
Updated: October 6, 2015Sig Sauer is launching a new line of guns and gear that they call “Legion.” The Sig team describes the Legion series as gear that a Navy SEAL might carry when off duty. The best way to think of the Sig P229 Legion is to envision what a serious shooter might have a custom gunsmith do to their new P229 to make it the ideal carry gun.
Kimber’s Summer Guns–Form and Function
Updated: September 14, 2015This Kimber Stainless II Classic Engraved 1911 may be the perfect mix of form and function. If you like a bit of decoration on you single actions, but don’t want to give up any of the functional aspects needed for carry, check out Kimber’s engraved pistols.
Carrying the Taurus Curve
Updated: September 3, 2015We got a sneak peak of the Taurus Curve last year, but didn’t get to give it the full attention it deserves. This isn’t a gun that shines on the range. It has to be carried in order to be appreciated. We’ve had The Curve in rotation some this summer, and are here with a follow-up on our initial review.
Zenith Z-5P – The MP5K Done Right
Updated: September 2, 2015We here at GunsAmerica have a deep respect for the MP5. Today we’re test driving an MP5K from Zenith Firearms. Before you make assumptions about the quality of the imported H&K clones, you should check out this review. Zenith’s Z-5P is a contender.
Walther’s first .45–the PPQ M2–Review
Updated: August 28, 2015While most of the gun industry is still worried about what they’ll debut at SHOT show in January, Walther is making news. They’ve got a new addition to the PPQ line. The PPQ M2 in .45 ACP. How will Walther’s first attempts with the most American of calibers stand up? Read our review.
The Used Market: The Pocket .25
Updated: August 23, 2015When I first came across this little gun I immediately thought of a Colt Vest Pocket without the grip safety. That is how the back half of the pistol looks. After closer inspection I noticed it had a fixed barrel. That is not something the old Colts have. But a Walther PPK does. I have come to the conclusion that this little Galesi could be the product from a marriage between a PPK and a Vest Pocket. Those are some pretty good genes from both sides of the family.
