Gun Reviews

Lighter, stronger, more accurate, and more capable; the M107A1 has truly been engineered for action.

The Impulse Mountain Hunter is a lightweight hunting rifle that features Savage’s Impulse action which is a straight pull bolt design on an aluminum receiver, AccuStock Technology, and a Proof Research carbon fiber barrel.

A quick check on the web of prices for other 1911s chambered in 10MM had most models right around $1,000. Which made me wonder: at this relatively low price point, could the FS Tactical 1911 10mm pistol actually be any good?

Like the original 930 series, this upgrade is a gas-operated gun. The main improvements include better ergonomics and a smoother gas system.

Several years back, I took a small ring Mauser 96, in 6.5×5,5 and turned it into a scout-type rifle. It later became a more traditional rifle with normal scope mounts and a turned-down bolt. In that configuration it became my loaner, backup, knock-around rifle for friends and relatives that asked to borrow a rifle for impromptu hunts. 

Once only seen on expensive, tricked-out race guns – the ability to mount an electronic sight to the handgun has become much more commonplace.

For those who want to save money and avoid the process of sourcing individual parts to upgrade a more standard rifle, the Volunteer XV Pro is a well thought out system built to meet your every need.

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.

 New for 2023, Nosler teamed up with PROOF Research and MDT to create the long-range Model 21 Carbon Chassis Hunter.

Walther Arms has introduced a pistol that is useful for small game, rodents, plinking, and even self-defense.

The Backcountry 2.0 lineup is available in four configurations including a steel or titanium action with either carbon fiber or traditional fluted barrel.

The defining feature of the CZ 1012 lineup is the gas-less inertia operating system. The 1012 operates differently from other shotguns and utilizes a spring to harness energy.

These are custom guns with the shortest lead times I have seen in the industry. Based on the 1911 design, the Platypus is designed to use Glock 17 mags.

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

For myself, the very word “Marlin” has always meant a lever action chambered in that workhouse caliber, the .30-30 Winchester.

I really enjoyed shooting this pistol and I can’t wait for my 22suppressor to come in so I can complete the build.

Everything the American market demands, with the legendary reliability of H&K? Yes please, I’ll take it for a spin. And I’m very glad I did.

When I first started testing out this shotgun, the number 1 question I was asked was how the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol differs from the classic Beretta 1301.

One feature I really appreciate about this rifle is the reduced movement it takes to operate this gun.

The Savage 1911 is built on the traditional ‘government model’ platform, but with many upgrades and improvements.

I came across the Mossberg Maverick 88 Security and it seemed like the perfect way to have some fun without breaking the bank.

The M&P9 M2.0 has a lot going right, even straight from the factory. Not only is this pistol optic ready, but comes with seven different mounting plates.

Finding a pistol that is easily concealed on a small frame has historically required compromising on at least one component. Then Sig Sauer came along with the P365.

American Gun Craft’s Desperado hand cannon looks like a double barrel 12 gauge shotgun but it is not a firearm under federal law. There is no gimmick here, Desperado is a hybrid black powder and percussion device you load from the front with black powder and shot then shoot it with a 209 shotgun primer.

It’s 1991, you are searching for a new rifle and you see the Timber Wolf carbine. It’s the coolest rifle you never heard of.

One of the few complaints a man can make about a 1911 is capacity, and the 2011 has fixed that.

PTR Industries is an American company that is all about classic design and modern production techniques. PTR produces every machined part for rifles in its Aynor, South Carolina plant.

At SHOT Show 2023, Retay had the Gordion model featured in the new very popular Realtree Max 7 camo finish.

Sig’s slogan for the P365-380 is “less recoil, more control” and after burning a few hundred rounds I can say it does exactly that.
