Gun Reviews

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.

Overall, I am happy to say that reports of Glock’s death have been greatly exaggerated. I don’t know what happened with anyone else’s gun, but I do know what happened with mine. It ran like a sewing machine and looked mostly factory new after it did.

If you’re thinking about a sub-compact, and you’re a 1911 fan, Springfield’s 911 9mm deserves your consideration.

Airguns are not limited to what they used to be: guns for training children on gun safety. These days, airgun technology is advancing to the point where we can shoot heavier projectiles faster than ever before out of production rifles. Because of this, they are a great option to take out hunting! This Texan LSS .50 CF will produce up to 750 ft./lbs of energy, which is as much as a .357 Mag or 44 Mag in some cases. Yes, this is hard to believe, but not when you are holding a 600 grain slug in your hand.

For a price as cheap as $337 on the open market, I have to call this one of the best values I’ve seen. I started skeptically, but the K2 has certainly won me over. This is a bargain, that I can highly recommend.

The new Ruger LCP II “Lite Rack” chambered in .22LR is designed to provide a high-quality training handgun for current LCP II owners and attract new gun owners with its easy-to-use racking system.

Desert Tech’s MDRX is a prime example of human ingenuity and true innovation. Not only is it unique, but it fills the role that it was designed for perfectly. The MDRX is the ultimate battle rifle because it is short and mobile without giving up barrel length and the accompanying velocity. A longer barrel will also emit less muzzle flash than a shorter comparator which is important for staying concealed.

The RM 380 Executive won’t stop a buffalo. Nor was it made for such heavy work. But it is a handy, very portable little handgun, and accurate enough at close range.

Some of you out there reading articles on building firearms are thinking “This is all well and good, but I don’t have a machine shop in my garage.” If that’s the case, I had you in mind when I decided on this build.

Nighthawk Custom is announcing a new line of double-stack 1911s for carry and competition called the Tactical Ready Series, or TRS.

We are truly living in the golden age of handguns, as this week’s test model will attest. My test model is the 509C or compact. While I usually prefer to get my hands on the full-sized model first, the 509C brings everything I like in a pistol to the table.
