Gun Reviews

When I first received the FN Five-seveN (FN 57 from here out), I immediately took notice of how lightweight it is. Coming in at only 21 ounces without the mag, it’s the kind of deceiving that pulls a remark out of anyone that picks one up for the first time. Coupling this fact with my knowledge of the FN 57 being used by military and police across the world, the latter makes a lot more sense. This is a powerful package that carries 20 rounds of 5.7×28 and puts minimal strain on the hip of the person that has to carry it.

The Outfitter G2 isn’t the perfect rifle for all situations, but it’s an excellent choice for hunters who pursue game in heavily wooded areas. It’s also a great option for new shooters and young shooters.

SIG’s P365XL is a sub-compact that performs like a full-size pistol. Big enough to handle serious self-defense but small enough to carry concealed. The optics ready XL model features an enhanced frame, flat trigger and increased barrel length while retaining the concealability of the original P365.

The new 940 JM PRO shotgun is the latest evolution of Mossberg’s 100-year tradition of producing value-packed firearms at affordable prices. I was lucky enough to spend two days shooting the 940. I ran the 940 JM as fast and hard as I could, and it was still ready for more.

This hunt was going to be from the Land Cruiser since there was no cover to even consider a stalk and the springbok was covering hundreds of yards each time we tried to get near it. After what seemed like an hour, Dolf decided it was time for me to use some of that ammunition.

You would expect to get a lot of rifle for anything wearing this price tag, and with this gun, you will. Here’s a closer look at what makes this rifle worthy of its price.

It has been 65 years since the Bodyguard was introduced. The fact that it is still in production is a credit to a design that has proven timeless. I have always had an affinity for the little J-frames and the 638 has found a home in my daily lifestyle.

When the Mauser M18 rifle was first introduced last year, reactions were predictably split. Some hunters immediately rushed out to buy one while some of the more stodgy types among us declared, “That’s not a Mauser – it’s a push feed!”

While we can talk about skill and ability all day long, in the end, luck can rear its head, for better or worse. I felt like I was getting stonewalled at every turn this past year. What a journey it had been…

Beretta ticked all the boxes with this pistol and has built us a bona fide shooter. Run, do not walk to your nearest dealer if you’re interested because availability might be spotty for a while.

I got my hands on the all-new Altor pistol, a recent addition to the firearms world. The Altor is billed as a very inexpensive self-defense tool, and I can get behind that sentiment.

With everything assembled, it was time to get to the range and see what kind of performance I could get out of all those components I’d put together.

Stoeger Industries is adding a new pump-action shotgun with a side-folding stock to their Freedom Series, the P3000 Supreme.

The Remington 700 CP (chassis pistol) is a new twist on an old classic. This new offering from Remington brings with it many opportunities for hunters and recreational shooters alike.

The 57 was an unexpected evolution for team Ruger and hit like a shockwave when it was released. I, for one, was also absolutely stunned by what Ruger has built-in terms of features and quality.

Quality has never been higher and prices for a truly custom gun have never been lower. Build your dream

I would label the Light Super line of shotguns as “budget” options. However, this does not mean that Silver Eagle sacrificed quality or attention to detail in order to meet this criteria! The Light Super is packed with high quality characteristics that make this shotgun an incredible value.

An African safari is just about every hunter’s dream – the ultimate hunting experience. A chance to see and chase game we’ve only seen on TV, online, or in a zoo may seem out of reach or above the average hunter’s paygrade. I recently found out that was not actually the case.

Henry is by far the leader in lever-action rifles today, if not in volume then certainly in quality. The company’s motto is one I can absolutely get behind. Made in America. Or not made at all.

Probably best known in the United States for its workhorse M3500 inertia-driven shotgun, Stoeger Industries jumped into the concealed carry handgun market early in 2019 with the STR-9 pistol.

Century International Arms is going back to building AK-pattern firearms in-house with an ambitious new project, “Project 74.”

The Hit was designed specifically for law enforcement and competition shooters alike. With the switch barrel capabilities, it can be used in many applications optimally.

FN America, supplier of military-grade firearms world-wide, is happy to announce an updated SCAR 20S, now in 6.5 Creedmoor for 2020.

The Summit 17 WSM model has a straight-pull bolt action that distinguishes it from other offerings on the market. This rifle features a stainless steel action, Ruger 6-round rotary mags, and a Volquartsen Laminated Wood Sporter Stock to name the most notable features. Also, there will be models available with either an I-fluted stainless steel barrel, or lightweight THM tension barrel (carbon fiber).

Savage Arms unveiled an expanded 2020 lineup at this year’s SHOT Show including new centerfire rifles, rimfire rifles and shotguns.

One of my favorite companies, Uintah Precision, has updated their lineup for 2020 by producing their own lowers which has allowed them to offer complete rifles of their own making. On top of this, they have updated their design for better aesthetics and functionality.

At the 2020 SHOT Show shotgun authorities Mossberg and Jerry Miculek were proud to exhibit the new 940 JM Pro semi-auto for competition.

The LUPO is designed to be great, starting from the bottom up. It is a modular chassis style hunting rifle. It is modular because it contains aspects of a typical hunting stock as well as a 7075 T6 Aluminum chassis that supports the action; and I assume that in the future, you can customize this configuration with other features that are soon to be released.

New for 2020, KelTec has released yet another innovative and cool firearm: the Sub 2000 CQB (Carbine Quiet Barrel). This new beauty from KelTec is an integrally suppressed PCC carbine. It will be available in 9mm and 40 S&W.
