Gun Reviews

Lightweight, compact, AR-mag compatible, and wearing a 16” threaded barrel, the Ruger American Ranch 300 BLK checks nearly every box for a suppressor host. Add a 0.8″ best group and whisper-quiet subsonic potential, and this little bolt gun starts making a lot of sense.

The best semi auto hunting rifles give you something a bolt gun cannot: a fast second shot without taking your eye off the animal. A good autoloader also soaks up recoil through its gas system, so the rifle moves less and you see the hit. That matters on running hogs, on a deer that steps [...]

Coyotes do not care what your rifle cost. They care whether you can put the first round where it needs to go at 250 yards, in wind, after you have been sitting on a cold hillside for 40 minutes trying not to twitch. Everything else is gear-shopping therapy. So this list of the best coyote [...]

The best 5.7×28 pistols of 2026 have taken a cartridge that was once a niche curiosity and made it one of the most talked-about rounds in the gun world. The 5.7x28mm was designed by FN in the late Cold War as a personal defense weapon round for troops who needed something lighter than a rifle [...]

The best IWI guns bring Israeli military designs to American shooters, from the Tavor bullpup and Galil ACE to the Jericho, Masada and UZI. IWI, Israel Weapon Industries, grew out of Israel Military Industries, and its US arm builds and imports guns for the civilian market. Our reviewers at GunsAmerica Digest have tested these guns [...]

The PTR-91 puts the HK G3’s roller-delayed Cold War muscle back in your hands, complete with hard-running reliability, excellent iron sights, flying brass, and accuracy that still earns respect at 100 yards.

The Savage 110 RF Elite Precision takes the full-size Model 110 concept into .22 LR with serious competition hardware, a clever reversible bolt throw, and impressive accuracy. After two months of range work and varmint hunting, the bigger question is whether all that performance is enough to justify its $2,399.00 MSRP.

After more than 250 rounds, the optics-ready Walther WMP proved accurate, comfortable, and ridiculously fun. Its 15+1 capacity, .40-inch best group, and surprising .22 WMR energy make this full-sized rimfire far more than a casual plinker.

Shotguns are making quite the comeback in recent years. Somehow the gospel of the gauge has reached the ears of shooters, and more and more are adopting the tactical shotgun for home defense needs.

Here is the uncomfortable truth about long range rifles: the rifle is usually the most accurate part of the system. The scope, the wind call, the ammo and the guy behind the trigger are where most misses are born. So when people ask for the best long range rifles of 2026, what they really want [...]

The Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 A.I. BE.S.T. is a premium waterfowl shotgun built to laugh at ugly weather, run filthy conditions, and throw impressively tight patterns. It is expensive, no doubt about it, but this thing feels purpose-built for hunters who want top-end reliability and field-ready refinement.

The best Smith & Wesson pistols cover every job, from a 13-round carry gun to a comped 10mm you can hunt with. The M&P M2.0 line is one of the most popular striker-fired families in the country, and the Shield is one of the best-selling carry guns ever made. We have put hundreds of rounds [...]

The CANiK PRIME RADIAN packs Radian’s RAMJET and AFTERBURNER recoil-control package into a 17+1 micro-compact 9mm that shoots flatter than its size suggests. It is not cheap, and the trigger on this sample did not quite hit classic CANiK greatness, but the range performance makes a strong case for this carry-ready package.

The Ruger 10/22 has spent 62 years turning new shooters into lifelong rimfire addicts. We tested a factory Carbine and a custom build to see why this simple .22 LR still refuses to surrender its crown.

Striker-fired pistols dominate today’s handgun market, but that does not automatically make them the best choice for every shooter. We put revolvers, single action, DA/SA, DAO, and striker-fired handgun actions under the microscope and on the range to see where each one shines.

The 22 Creedmoor launches heavy .224 bullets fast, shoots brutally flat, bucks wind, and delivers almost no recoil. This former wildcat has become a serious option for predators, PRS competition, long-range steel, and even deer-sized game.

The best muzzleloaders of 2026 get you into the woods early, when the deer have not been pressured and the rifle hunters are still at home sighting in. Muzzleloader season is one of the best deals in hunting. In many states you get extra days, sometimes an extra tag, and a lot fewer people. The [...]

It is close: the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol is a touch lighter, recoiled slightly less and ran the fastest double tap in our testing, while the Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical has the biggest controls and a factory optics cut that sits a red dot low. Our reviewer’s personal pick was the 940, but the A300 [...]

Ruger’s new $749 Harrier ran flawlessly and delivered sub-MOA best groups with every load tested. The trigger needs help, but this affordable, mil-spec-compatible AR-15 shoots like it has something to prove.

The Colt Python 3 inch is already a gorgeous .357 Magnum, but two weaknesses kept it from perfection. Harrison Snake Sights and Hogue Monogrips changed that in a hurry.

The Browning X-Bolt Speed SR pairs a handy 20-inch suppressor-ready barrel with the hard-hitting 7mm PRC, then backs it up with repeatable sub-MOA accuracy at 100 and 300 yards.

The best precision .22LR rifles let you practice long-range shooting skills for pennies a shot. Rimfire precision matches like PRS22 and NRL22 have exploded, and makers now build .22 LR bolt guns with match chambers, adjustable chassis, and triggers that break in ounces. Our writers have competed with and tested them. One built a Zermatt [...]

The best 17 HMR rifles turn a tiny rimfire cartridge into a flat shooting varmint tool that punches far above its size. Hornady created the .17 HMR in 2002 by necking down the .22 Magnum case to hold a 17 grain bullet, and the result moves at roughly 2,550 feet per second with about 7 [...]

In recent months I’ve dived headfirst into pocket pistols and have attempted to find what works best from small guns.

KelTec completely reworked its original P50 concept with a drop-free 50-round magazine, machined receiver and smarter controls. We ran the KP50 hard, suppressed and unsuppressed, to see whether this 5.7x28mm oddball is genius or gimmick.

The Springfield Prodigy COA pairs double-stack 1911 performance with an Aimpoint optic that sits remarkably low and stayed locked on zero. After several hundred rounds, +P loads, mag dumps, quick-draw drills, and hits at 100 yards, the pistol finished with zero malfunctions.

A .223 Remington is a small, fast, .22 caliber centerfire rifle cartridge. It fires a .224 inch bullet, usually 40 to 77 grains, and it is the round most AR-15 rifles are built around, along with plenty of bolt actions, single shots and even a few lever guns. The one thing to get right is [...]

The best 10mm carbines of 2026 finally give the 10mm Auto the long gun it deserved all along. The 10mm gives you .357 Magnum-class power in a rimless semi-auto cartridge, and when you add barrel length, you add velocity. In our KRISS Vector review, the same LAX load went from 1,128 fps out of a [...]

The best Walther pistols have a reputation built on two things: some of the best factory striker triggers ever made and a certain fictional British spy. Walther gave us the PPK, the P99 and the PPQ, and today its flagship is the PDP, a striker gun that takes the famous PPQ trigger and puts it [...]
