Gun Reviews

It might be mid July and it is for sure hotter than a 2 dollar pistol here in The South, but it is not too early to start thinking about the fall hunts. If you are in the market for a new inline Traditions rifles are a great place to look, they are well made and equipped rifles for a good price.

the DRD Tactical Kivaari .338 Lapua Magnum is a long-range, semi-automatic, AR-based rifle that can be taken down in moments and placed inside a portable case.

The new RM380 from Remington delivers ultra-compact .380 ACP power in reliable and handy package. Full review of the pistol.

the new SUB-2000 Gen II from Kel-Tec gives users a 9mm carbine that feeds from pistol magazines and can fold down to around 16 inches.

The FN M4 Carbine in the Military Collector Series line brings you the closest thing a civilian can own to a true military 5.56mm M4 Carbine.

The new X95 Tavor from IWI US takes the strengths of the Tavor SAR and takes the design to the next level with numerous upgrades and enhancements.

Several years ago I happened upon a rifle that blew me away. It was at Media Day at the Range, which is the day before our annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas, and I have to say, it takes a lot to blow me away. That rifle was the Noreen Arms BN36 Long Range Assassin, which you will recognize as an AR-15 pattern, in .30-06. I have always been a huge fan of that cartridge, and I always wondered if the rifle ran as well as my M1 Garands. This week I finally got a chance to put the Noreen to the test, ad I love it!

The Longslide 10mm 1911 from Republic Forge makes for not only great close-range performance but can also be pushed out to 100 yards distance due to its power and accuracy.

Probably the hottest segment of the handgun market is in guns that fit the concealed carry mode. The guns listed aren’t chosen for their level of usefulness for highly trained operators, but rather because they’re easy to learn to shoot well and are powerful and reliable enough to serve as excellent defensive tools.

A dangerous terrorist lives right here in our land. Folks, if you don’t know it, our electrical grid is under attack.

California gun owners are responding to the sweeping, deeply controversial new gun laws with a combination of creative submission and noncompliance.

The Bond Arms Backup packs a lot of power into a small package. It has twin barrels and can be switched between 9mm and .45.

The LWRC IC-PDW is an ultra-compact 5.56mm PDW that delivers ambush-busting power in a micro-sized package.

No line of handguns is complete until it is offered in .45 ACP. Well, the new Smith & Wesson M&P .45 Shield is here!

One of the standout features of the Beretta PX4 Storm is the rotary action short recoil system. Like most other 9mm and up centerfire pistols, it uses a short recoil system that temporarily locks the slide and barrel together for a hot second during recoil, allowing the pressure to drop to manageable levels. After a fraction of an inch of rearward travel together, the slide and barrel separate, allowing extraction of the cartridge, recocking, and chambering of a new one. The PX4 just goes about that locking and unlocking process in a very different way with the rotary system.

To put it simply, Henry Rifles look cool. Maybe it is a Country-Boy-Hipster-Thing, but brass framed lever guns have that certain something that not only appeals to my gun loving side, but also to my functional art side. This is a slick looking rifle that, most importantly, is a hell of a shooter.

E.U. leaders along with Prime Minister of the U.K. David Cameron are pushing for restrictions or bans of semi-automatic rifles including deactivated guns.

The new M249S from FN USA is a semi-automatic version of the classic SAW light machine gun. Belt-fed and ready to go, this is a great addition to the collection of any serious shooter and collector.

It seems only fitting that a major gun manufacturer like Springfield Armory would want to honor and commemorate an American hero like Chris Kyle with a special edition and exclusive pistol like this TRP Operator .45 ACP 1911.

The Stoeger P3000 Pump-action Shotgun. If you need a waterfowl, hunting slug gun, or home defense shotgun, and are constrained by budget, this is a great way to pick up a brand new one for less than 300 bucks.

More than 140 years after the Colt SAA was invented, Uberti decided it was high time to change the rules and engineered a solution to the historic problem of having to “safely” carry a Single Action with the hammer resting on an empty chamber.

Although a relatively young company, has earned a reputation for producing top-quality firearms designed to achieve very specific missions. And its newest, the AXTS MI-T556 SPR, continues that tradition. The rifle is based on the Special Purpose Rifle (SPR) that was brought into U.S. military service as the MK12 in 2002. It was designed as [...]

There are thousands of AR-15 accessories on the market, but none are cooler (or more absurd) than Tracey Copeland and Andrew BeGole’s “Firearm-Mounted Rescue Tool.”

Obviously, these are success stories the likes of which have changed firearms history. However, for every success story, there are dozens of ideas that didn’t make it. Even the vaunted Smith & Wesson was not immune from the pitfalls of 19th Century firearms design. Case in point: the Model 320 revolving rifle.

The Ruger SP101 combines a small frame with a full-power chambering in .357 Magnum, but it is limited to five rounds. The addition of the .327 Federal Magnum chambering bumps that up to six, while still having fight-stopping power.

The proposed replacement, the SK-16, is a sleek, modern carbine with a flattop rail for optics, chambered not for 7.62x54mm, but 7.62 NATO, and that’s not all.

Savage Arms was awarded a nice contract to replace the No.8 Rifle, the UK’s military cadet rifle, in service today, with an updated Mark II FVR.

Before we go any further, I would like to make something clear: The Q5 Match is a lot more than just a 5-inch PPQ with a red dot. Walther really thought this gun through and brought together lots of details that make the Q5 Match special
