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.

Published: July 8, 2017 { 37 comments }Anyone familiar with NightHawk Custom knows that they produce superlative guns. The workmanship, function, and accuracy are second to none.

FMK 9C1 G2 Review: Is FMK a Good Brand?
Published: July 7, 2017 { 24 comments }The FMK 9C1 G2 is a Glock 19 sized, made in the USA 9mm that ran a few hundred rounds of all types of ammo in our test with no jams or failures to feed or eject. Offhand groups at 7 to 8 yards could be covered with a fist, and SIG Sauer 124 gr [...]

Sizzling SIG P226 ASE: Ultralight 16-round 9mm—Full Review
Published: June 27, 2017 { 7 comments }“If only SIG Sauer would offer the P226 in more configurations,” said no one. Ever. Okay, I couldn’t help opening with a bit of snark, but if you pay attention to the firearms market you know that there are about as many SKUs for the P226 as there have been for G.I. Joe. Enter the P226 ASE. And it’s a beauty.
A Gunfighter’s Dream: The Ed Brown Special Forces .45 ACP – Full Review
Published: June 21, 2017 { 16 comments }I have been writing for over 35 years and until this project I’ve never owned or shot an Ed Brown 1911. When I contacted Ed Brown Products, I requested the Ed Brown Special Forces model, which has been the anchor of their pistols lineup for many years. If their base duty/personal-defense handgun was up to par, the other models would be also. I was not disappointed.

A True German-Made HK Semi-Auto Subgun? The Street-Legal 9mm SP5K – Full Review.
Published: June 8, 2017 { 42 comments }The Heckler & Kock SP5K 9mm is a rock-solid, proven design that all others must aspire to emulate. This gun is still a bargain compared to an original SP89, and I think is a better option based on how it comes equipped. If you want the real thing, it is definitely for you.

Published: May 31, 2017 { 68 comments }The Kimber Micro 9 is only about half an inch longer and 2.2 ounces heavier than the Micro 380, and in our test it recoiled less than the Kimber Solo.
