Gun Reviews

Whether the year was 1929 or 1931 – sources vary – it was nearly a century ago when Walther introduced the PPK. It was a revolutionary design at the time because of its double-action trigger and its safety which also decocked the gun.

In 2018, US Special Operations Command adopted the 6.5 Creedmoor (CM) as their new Precision Rifle cartridge.

Springfield Armory’s new 9mm XD-M Elite OSP Tactical sets a new standard in performance and features from a factory striker-fired pistol. Starting with their proven XD-M model, Springfield has refined and upgraded nearly each part of the pistol.

The SIG SAUER 716i TREAD rifle may seem like a standard run of the mill AR-10 but its origins are much more military. It’s basically a civilian version of a battle rifle that was part of a 2019, 72,000…

Savage Firearms’ newest shotgun, the Renegauge, was announced almost a year ago and purchasers are finally getting their hands on them. This new hot-rod semiautomatic shotgun has been totally redesigned and over-engineered by the good folk at Savage. At the core of the Renegauge is a new “D.R.I.V. System (pronounced ‘drive’) that utilizes dual pressure relief valves and a short-stroke piston to cycle the action reliably between shots, almost independently of the power of the shell fired.

What we wanted and deserved is a high capacity striker fired gun, sized for the human hand. And today, that dream becomes a reality. The XDM 10mm fits all the requirements, and then some. The XDM 10 is identical in grip size to the XDM 45, which is a vastly underrated weapon.

Can the little gun from Brazil hold up against the big dogs in the industry? With a big pile of 9mm, we set out to find that answer for ourselves.

The Outfitter GII is also available in .35 Whelen, 35 Rem, .357 Mag, .44 MAG, and 450 Bushmaster. This is a handy little rifle, easy to carry and pack, and will fit nicely in a hunting blind or tree stand.

A team of shooters with varying experience went through, shot, and evaluated four, mid-range priced rifles from Mossberg, Savage, Howa, and CVA to see just what kind of bang for your buck you get in a mid-priced rifle.

Whether your list is a bucket list, a wish list, or simply a shopping list – this is a Czech you just have to make on it.

The FNX-45 Tactical is an absolutely unique sidearm, complete down to the “Jason Bourne” grade case it ships in. With 3 high capacity magazines, military-grade design, and all the suppressor factors built-in, this one has it all.

Rock Island Armory’s AL9.0 is a six-shot revolver. The surprising part is that it is chambered in 9mm. The steel frame gives weight to the gun and the low recoil of 9mm makes it pleasant to shoot.

The Sig Sauer P320 handgun is modular by design. The ability to swap calibers, frame sizes, and more provides a versatility that is driving a massive aftermarket for parts and accessories. Building a P320 is the perfect way to get exactly the gun you want without having to buy a new gun and throw away parts.

The DOD wants a new rifle and automatic weapon cartridge and actually narrowed it down to 3 finalists. Many of the exact specifications of the new round are close hold, but we do know one thing for certain. The caliber will be 6.8. Which really got me thinking about the last time 6.8 was a contender.

The K6 Deep Cover fills the bill in a lot of ways. The next time you are in your local shop, give one a serious look. You might wind up going home with one.

John Browning’s legendary design is already tough. But Springfield’s new offering is about as tough as a 1911 can get.

Snake gun, truck gun, survival gun, anti-bear gun, and zombie killer. That’s a lot of gun in a small package.

There are two booming markets in the United States for handguns: Concealed carry pistols, and out-of-the-box competition pistols. And Smith & Wesson has been a formidable name in both for many years.

When I unboxed the Predator, I found a skinny little tapered barrel, a light composite stock, and a surprisingly smooth action. I say surprising because there was really nothing remarkable about the rifle other than the action. Admittedly, I did not have high expectations for the predator. It is a deceptively modest gun. Can a rifle that retails for less than $500 makes hits at 1,000 yards?

The Ultralight Hunter was designed for hunting, but the author believes the rifle would be equally adept in a home-defense role loaded with the right 300 HAM’R ammunition.

This week, my CZ striker experience finally got to come full circle. I got my hands on a P10-F optics ready, the latest and greatest in CZ’s polymer striker-fired line.

Springfield Armory is introducing their own compact version of the AR, the SAINT Edge pistol. This new AR, my friends, is a hotrod among performance cars.

All said and done it is my opinion that one would be hard-pressed to buy a better full house competition 40 cal blaster.

Springfield Armory has christened a new Saint, this one is a pistol and it’s in .308 Win.

Ruger’s expanding three lines of popular rifles for 2020 including a new 10/22, a new Hawkeye Long-Range Target and a new Scout Rifle.

The Legion line has become a well-known segment of the SIG Sauer brand. Overall, I think the Legions do an excellent job of providing the “bells and whistles” version of each model offered, while simultaneously building its own recognizable value for the brand enthusiast.

In terms of pure visceral enjoyment, the Mk47 is a joy to shoot and a dead sexy looking rifle. CMMG’s Mk47 merges the ergonomics and modularity of the AR with the best qualities of the AK.

In the Summer of 2019, Shield Arms announced a new magazine for the Glock 43x and 48. By itself, this information did not appear to be newsworthy. However, if you looked deeper at the announcement, you knew something potentially big was coming.

There are many practical uses that I have for the PDW which span from personal protection to fun trigger-time at the range. Because of its 20 3/4″ collapsed length, you can fit the PDW in a nightstand next to your bed, the bottom side of your truck seat, or in a backpack for toting around in your daily activities.
