Gun Reviews

Whether you’re a survivalist looking for a trail gun or a parent looking for a first firearm, the Stevens Model 301’s low cost, simple functionality and reliability make it a great addition to any collection.

This BCM Mk12 Mod 0 review was a fun trip down memory lane. If you are a collector or carried one of these in the war, I recommend it highly. Mine shot 1-inch groups at 100-meters with 77-grain Black Hills loads.

Ashbury Precision Ordnance is now offering a lightweight, modern Remington Model 700 built on their accuratized Saber chassis that features AR components.

Full Conceal, a custom concealed-carry pistol shop, is now building specialty SIG P320 ultra-compact kits for deep concealment.

Sig Sauer seems poised to take over the world these days. It seems like they have a winner in every market segment except kitchen sinks, and they are probably working on kitchen sinks right now. A huge win for Sig has been the MPX family of pistol caliber carbines, and this week we got our hands on one to test.

Anyone familiar with NightHawk Custom knows that they produce superlative guns. The workmanship, function, and accuracy are second to none. I just wish you could hold this 1911 in your hands. You can feel the difference between this pistol and a mass-produced pistol immediately.

Wingshooting is equal parts mechanics and voodoo; it’s one of the shooting arts that never really came naturally to me. But, I do enjoy hunting ruffed grouse and pheasants, and a fine shotgun. The Fausti Class LX in 28 gauge is not your average shotgun.

One company that emerged during this past volatile decade that I think will thrive and grow is FMK Firearms. Until the FMK 9C1 G2 arrived for testing and review, I had never handled or seen one of their products. What happened next was possibly the best surprise I’ll have all year!

Caracal is back, and they are better than ever. After a very limited release and subsequent full recall a few years ago, new Enhanced F pistols are finally available again.

I am a firm believer that it should be within the reach of every person to own a ludicrously fast car, a stupidly powerful handgun and a magnum rifle that could take a T-rex off its feet at 1,000 yards. Savage has made that attainable. Enter the Savage 110 BA Stealth. It delivers high performance at a fraction of its .338 Lapua competitors.

“If only SIG Sauer would offer the P226 in more configurations,” said no one. Ever. Okay, I couldn’t help opening with a bit of snark, but if you pay attention to the firearms market you know that there are about as many SKUs for the P226 as there have been for G.I. Joe. Enter the P226 ASE. And it’s a beauty.

The AC-556 was based off the Mini-14. Ruger, Sturm& Co. introduced the Mini-14 in 1973, borrowing many of its design elements from both the M1 and the M14. Bill Ruger was interested in law enforcement and military sales, and to that end he released the GB (government bayonet) model. The GB offered a plethora of unique options.

Pistol caliber carbines are fun and cheap to shoot and it doesn’t hurt that they are chambered in 9mm Luger, one of the most popular centerfire round in the world. This makes them great companion carbine for shooters who already own a 9mm pistol.

Though the muzzleloading rifle market has quite a bit to offer, if this style of rifle isn’t your primary hunting tool a large investment may not make a lot of sense. For the hunter looking to extend their season, especially the later deer seasons, I personally feel the T/C Impact represents a good balance of useable features and affordability.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury is adding Molot-Oruzhie, OOO to the list of banned Russian and Ukrainian separatist companies.

I have been writing for over 35 years and until this project I’ve never owned or shot an Ed Brown 1911. When I contacted Ed Brown Products, I requested the Ed Brown Special Forces model, which has been the anchor of their pistols lineup for many years. If their base duty/personal-defense handgun was up to par, the other models would be also. I was not disappointed.

Building on the tradition of the classic Galil rifle, the new Galil ACE .308 rifle from IWI US offers civilian shooters a new and updated semi-auto version of this renowned battle rifle.

The new Cobra in .38 Special from Colt gives revolver fans a great new option in concealed carry snubbies. Read on for the full review.

Ruger is launching a cool new SR1911 chambered for 10mm Auto. The company is also issuing a recall on select Mark IV rimfire pistols.

The Tennessee Arms Company, hybrid receiver specialists, is taking pre-orders for their highly-anticipated Glock-mag pistol-caliber AR lowers.

The name Multi-Sight, as it suggests, means that these pistols are ready to accept a variety of different types of sights with very little effort. The top rear of the slide has been milled out to accept a number of available drop-in tops.

This week, one of my top five from SHOT show finally arrived, and it did not disappoint. I spent the week trying to melt the barrel off the new Nordic Components 9mm NCPCC Carbine, and it was everything I thought it would be.

Not that long ago if you had asked me to find a rifle with a street price under $1,000 that had a fully adjustable stock with a detachable magazine system, was suppressor capable, was compatible with some Remington 700 parts, and had a 1 MOA guarantee, I would’ve said no way. However, Bergara USA has delivered just such a rifle in the form of their B-14 Hunting/Match Rifle.

The FN 15 Competition was tailor made for 3-Gun from the ground up. As the name implies, competitors must shoot their way through a series of stages that offer different types of challenges involving different-sized targets, movement, cover, and distances while switching out between pistol, shotgun and rifle.

First look at the newest version in Springfield Armory’s popular SAINT series of rifles.

The Heckler & Kock SP5K 9mm is a rock-solid, proven design that all others must aspire to emulate. This gun is still a bargain compared to an original SP89, and I think is a better option based on how it comes equipped. If you want the real thing, it is definitely for you.

With a receiver stout enough to handle even belted magnum cartridges, the Browning BLR brought the lever gun into the modern era, retaining enough of the classic lines to be visually appealing, but with improvements that changed the game.

Thanks to Arfcom’s Raider14 the world now has a post-apocalyptic-themed AR rated to withstand up to 10 megatons of Road Warrior-grade ass kicking.

X Products’ new Can Launcher Upper for 7.62mm ARs in .308 caliber, dubbed the M.U.L. (for “multi-use launcher”), is the Can Cannon with bacon; it launches cans and all manner things harder and farther.
