Gun Reviews

Carbon fiber barrels have revolutionized the long-range rifle platform in the past few years.

Most handguns are built around an average male hand. If yours is smaller than that, you already know the drill. You grab a popular pistol at the counter, and the trigger sits at the tip of your finger. The backstrap fills your palm like a soda can, and the slide fights you every time you [...]

The .429 DE is a cartridge Magnum Research designed in 2018 specifically for the Desert Eagle, firing a 0.429 inch bullet. In my testing, Magnum Research 210 grain JHP averaged 1,766 fps over 10 shots from a 6 inch barrel, faster than Hornady 50 AE 300 grain XTP at about 1,400 fps, with similar listed [...]

The Bergara BMR-X Steel delivers full-size rifle ergonomics in a rimfire platform, blends fun and function, and comes suppressor-ready.

The Kimber 2K11 Target (OR) is an aesthetically stunning double-stack 1911 in 9mm with 20+1 round capacity.

The LEVTAC-92 fits in under the Citadel brand from Legacy Sports, and it’s a clone of the classic Winchester Model 1892.

The ACE and the ACE-R are the same shotgun inside. Same Inertia Plus bolt, same deep bore drilled barrel, same Airy recoil pad, same Benelli choke and magazine tube compatibility, and the same price on Retay’s sheet. The one real difference is the top of the receiver. The ACE has a traditional slope back. The [...]

A civilian PDW is a compact and often concealable weapon that offers you greater range, control, and better ergonomics than a handgun.

SIG has engineered this pistol for serious reliability

The SIG Sauer P365 AXG LUXE brings premium performance and luxury styling to the micro-compact world, chambered in .380 ACP.

SIG Sauer’s new P365 FLUX, introduced at SIG NEXT 2025, transforms the already popular P365 platform into an ultra-compact, brace-deploying PDW-style pistol.

the new P226X and P226X Carry models bring that legacy into the modern era with a host of precision upgrades.

Plastic pistols are nothing new—the first was made by Heckler & Koch in the 1970s—and you’d be right to say there’s a glut of them on the market. Just because there are a lot of options doesn’t mean they’re all the same, though. It’s even become increasingly common for polymer pistols to be sub-$500 guns—new. [...]

The LAR-9 has that old school cool look and feel we don’t often see from PCCs. When it came up for a crazy low price at auction, I had to have it.

The Bear Creek Arsenal’s new rifle is a hybrid of sorts: an AR-15 platform rifle chambered in the popular “AK-round.” It also features a side-charging handle.

Verdict: the Canik Mete MC9 Prime ran with zero malfunctions in our testing, shot every group at 10 yards into just over an inch, and the integral comp kept it flat enough for Mitchell Graf to dump 17 rounds on a silhouette in 3.47 seconds. The tradeoffs are aggressive stippling that chews on skin during [...]

I ran 150 rounds of 5.7x28mm ammunition through the Tisas PX-5.7 semi-automatic pistol. It proved itself a solid, reliable firearm during my shooting.
