Gun Reviews

After shooting the Axis II Precision for several days and a couple of hundred rounds, I have to say it’s impressive and shoots fantastic. It delivers features and performance well above its weight class and price. It handles as good as it looks and will hit targets far beyond most shooter’s expectations; give one a try.

Colt went well outside the box on the new Custom Carry by selecting some of the best parts on the market. While the name sounds rather benign, this Custom Carry is one of the most well thought out, and feature rich, 1911s on the market today.

This compact, lightweight bolt-action chassis pistol, based on their full-size Modern Precision Rifle, was designed for backpacking and back-country hunting.

As the SIG P320 family of pistols continues to evolve, we see more and more specific needs addressed. This week, we got our hands on the latest model tailored to CCW, the RXP Compact. As the name implies, this is a new X Frame Compact size, red dot ready out of the box. And for some of you, this is exactly the variant you have been looking for.

The ZION 15 truly is an upper mid-tier rifle for folks looking to get into something a little more capable than your standard entry-level AR-15 like the M&P15 or the Ruger 556, both of which I’ve owned. If you’re on the fence, this is a fantastic rifle for the price and I’m hopeful retailers will continue to be able to offer it at that sub-$1000 price-point.

Home defense, recreational shooting and just looking cool: the SAR 109T Subgun checks all three boxes.

Reliability, accuracy, and competition-friendly features – and you’ve got quite a bit of gun for the money. This gun is not cheap, but you could easily pay twice that amount for a gun with similar performance.

I have known hundreds of hunters over the years and I have to say turkey hunters are the most passionate, focused group of hunters I’ve ever encountered.

For home defense, concealed carry, and recreational shooting, the SAR9 will do the job and then some. It is a fine pistol, very accurate, rugged, and reliable.

The P17 is fun, it’s very useful, and at a price that is near unbelievable. This is one I can highly recommend. Get yours while the getting is good.

I own several AK’s and the new Zastava M70 ZPAP is my favorite but I wanted to modernize the hand-guard to accommodate an angled vertical grip and provide some more rail space.

After shooting the new VP9 for the last few months, I’m starting to get the appeal. It’s a sweet gun. Is it worth the H&K markup? Maybe, maybe not. I can say this: if you can afford the optics-ready VP9, you won’t be disappointed.

This combination of the Bergara B14R, the TriggerTech Special, and the Mack Brother’s magazines is amazing. It is the most fun I have had with a 22 in quite some time.

The new Savage Arms IMPULSE rifles are a whole new breed of rifle that raises the market to a new level. It’s really slick, very fast to operate, incredibly accurate; perhaps the most accurate rifle I have ever shot.

Lone Wolf Arms’ new Lightweight Tactical Defense (LTD) pistol may not be the answer for every shooter, but it is a quality American-made handgun that provides reliable performance in a package that adapts to fit most hands.

I am very excited to have gotten my grubby mitts on a P320 variant I have been waiting a long time for. The signature edition P320-X-VTAC, spec’d by Kyle Lamb himself.

I set out to build the Ultimate 3 Gun Rifle, and I did. But I also accidentally built a rifle capable of PRS competition and hitting targets past 1000 yards.

After putting over 300 rounds through the Remington 1911 R1 Hunter FDE 10MM pistol, I recommend this semi-automatic as a top firearms investment for at least two reasons.

I have enjoyed testing and hunting with CMMG rifles so I didn’t hesitate when offered a chance to test a newer gun in a newer cartridge specialized for long-distance hunting.

One of the updated models is the Upland Ultralight All-Terrain, which I’ve been using in 20 gauge. It’s lightweight, it’s beautifully constructed, and it comes up on-target every time game flushes. Read on for a close look at all the features as well as a few things that could be better.

Part 3 of the Ultimate 3 Gun Rifle

Dedicated to Quinn, the founder of Gunblast.com who passed last year, only 500 pieces will be made.

Another significant upgrade of the Rapid Defense Package is the addition of a red dot sight. The RDP takes advantage of the optics ready feature of the Hellcat and includes a HEX Wasp micro red dot.

The re-issued CZ Tactical Sport, now branded TS2 freshens the already coveted competition pistol to be more in line with the rest of the CZ product line.

Part 2 of the Ultimate 3 Gun Rifle!

In late 2019 I decided it was time for a new rifle. There are many very good factory competition multigun rifles on the market now but I decided to put together my own rifle, with each and every part exactly what I wanted.

The 10mm in a well designed full framed steel pistol is not unpleasant at all…with north of .357 Magnum ballistics.

The stainless construction, combined with the longer barrel, made the 640 significantly easier to shoot when compared with the alloy guns. My friends have told me that I’ve never met a J-frame that I didn’t like. That is not quite the case but certainly, the new 640 has a lot to offer.

These new guns, in tandem, have the capacity to shape the future. It has been impressive enough to make me re-evaluate the 5.7, and I hope it does you too. I have a feeling the little cartridge that could is just getting started.
