Gun Reviews

My affinity for scary black rifles began eons ago, back in 2003, as an honorary member of the Tarleton State High Power Rifle Team. From there, my interests morphed into local 3-gun competitions where I took my DCM rifle and changed out parts to make the gun more viable for match shooting—something of a Franken-gun, really, but it ran well, and it was a tack driver.

But perhaps the biggest headline, aside from the chambering itself, is the ability to change the rifle from a fully right-hand shooter’s gun to a fully left-hand shooter’s gun – in just minutes – without tools or additional parts.

Henry Rifles’ reputation precedes them. Known for producing some of the highest quality and most attractive lever action rifles on the market, Henry offers one of my now favorite .45-70 rifles in an All-Weather offering. This rifle was designed with the hunter, farmer, rancher and working man (or woman) in general, as it is designed to take the abuse that everyday life can throw at it.

According to Drake, the Athena Precision Chassis Rifle is capable of producing on average .6- to .7-MOA groups at over 1,000 yards.

Why, exactly, would I choose a 10mm for a Limited Gun? That class has long been dominated by 40 S&W, and usually in a 2011 platform. So why a 10mm, and why the XDM? Well, the XDM part is the easier answer.

The Wrangler is NOT a cheap gun. It is, however, a well-engineered gun that makes use of materials and engineering that keeps the costs down so anyone (everyone?) can roll tin cans and slay steel (or pot a squirrel or two) with impunity!

In a world where vacuous ill-informed talking heads chatter like chimps about assault rifles, weapons of mass destruction, and sundry other gun-related topics they clearly fail to understand, the gory machinegun murders of German Jimenez Panesso and his associate Juan Carlos Hernandez were actually the real deal.

Keltec’s KS7 is compact, it comes up well, and it’s priced competitively. It’s clearly intended as a home-defense gun, but it’s so light and packable that it may find it’s way into other uses.

I was perfectly content with the standard P365, it has been my everyday carry since I purchased it to do my first P365 article, but then I tried the XL. So how do you make a great little gun even better?

The Howa KRG Bravo comes with the same accuracy guarantee you’ve seen on other rifles, but with one important difference: this rifle delivers.

In the second row of onlookers, Fromme reached underneath her ample robes and retrieved a Colt 1911 pistol from a holster on her left side. Extending her arm she leveled the gun at the President’s midriff at near contact range and squeezed the trigger.

The recently announced SIG Sauer P365 SAS is now available and shipping. The P365 SAS is a specially de-horned and modified pistol for everyday carry and concealment.

This Model 1894 .30-30 Winchester will be at home on the shooting range, hunting big game, or at the spring roundup.

That it ultimately cost the life of a patriot of Brian Terry’s caliber, as well as hundreds of Mexican nationals, make the whole sordid mess one of the most egregious government failures in American history.

Even though it’s been out of production for more than a decade now, strap on Heckler & Koch’s P7M8 and many gun people will know what it is.

The last day of my Nebraska 2018 deer hunt, mid-November, and I had yet to see a mature buck. I also had a chest freezer back home less than a quarter full. So, when a group of white-tailed does step into the cut-over cornfield, I decided it was time to stock up on some venison.

SA Hellcat is an incredibly solid offering. The pistol includes literally every feature that people are/have been looking for in a carry pistol. To summarize, it’s tiny, it holds more rounds than anything else in its size class, it has high vis night sights…

Everything about the LMT MWS is top shelf: 100% reliable, ambidextrous, outstanding accuracy, 1200 yard capacity, adaptable, and convertible.

In 3-gun matches, shooters use a rifle, a pistol, and a shotgun. Any of the three present challenges, but loading a shotgun quickly tends to be a skill that separates those who win from those who do not.

The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, or SAAMI, just gave the mini shell its official blessing, in part due to Federal Ammunition.

FIrst look video of the new Springfield Armory Hellcat!

After putting quite a few rounds down range I firmly believe the Remington 783 Varmint is the best bang for the buck in terms of long-range rifles from Remington.

The concealed carry market is crowded. Pocket guns are one of the fastest growing segments of the firearms industry, and there’s no sign of slowing down. (Even Mossberg – Mossberg! – offers a subcompact 9mm, for crying out loud.) In such a dense environment, Standard Manufacturing’s new S333 Thunderstruck stands out. For better or worse, the Thunderstruck isn’t a gun you’re likely to see every day, and I’ve had a blast putting it through its paces.

US Navy SEAL named Rob O’Neill had drilled a pair of Black Hills 77-grain OTM 5.56mm rounds through the brain of the single most reviled human being on the planet. Osama bin Laden, the architect of the single greatest terrorist attack in modern history, was finally queued up to meet his seventy dark-haired virgins.

While the world continues to fill with new 1911 manufacturers due to the fantastic original design and readily available precision machining centers, Kimber continues to focus on meeting market demands for an Every Day Carry (EDC) 1911 with their Aegis Elite Pro.

The new SAINT Victor Rifle (available in 5.56 and .308) from Springfield delivers ultimate reliability in a lightweight package.

For the most part, when I hear about a new and innovative gun, I am just let down when I see another AR-15 Variant, 1911 variant or another plastic-framed gun that is trying to out Glock Glock.

I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that the Taurus TX22 may have eclipsed all other budget-friendly training handguns in this category. Released earlier this year, the TX22 holds 16 rounds in each double-stacked magazine, is insanely comfortable to shoot, maintains reliability after hundreds of rounds, and has a great trigger, to boot.

While there are a lot of 5.56 AR rifles out there, Springfield Armory has done a good job of bringing a rifle to market that stands out. They have done this with their line of Saint Victor Rifles.
