Fans of the 9mm 1911 have a new option. Springfield Armory has a 4″ Champion version of their purpose-built 9mm EMP that is ideal for those who want the most from their daily carry pistol.

Tasers, with their barbs and wires, are a common tool for cops. Now Taser has opened up sales for the rest of us, too, and this is one kickass addition to the less-than-lethal arsenal.

We spend most of our time covering new guns, but there are some old ones we’d like to see brought back. Here’s one of them. The old M6 Scout is an excellent example of a survival gun. This .410/.22 LR has a rich history, and sells for an astounding price these days.

The .38 Super faded from fashion when the .357 came onto the scene in the late 1930s. But the round runs exceptionally well in the 1911, and has some strong selling points. And now that Sig is making .38 Super for practice and carry, the time is right to consider the caliber again.

Looking for a 1911 that’s ideal for concealed carry? Want it in a caliber other than .45 ACP? Check out the Springfield Armory EMP. These come in 9mm and .40 S&W, and we’ve been pushing these hard. So how do the redesigned 1911s hold up to the reputation Springfield has established with their 5″ guns?

If you plan on hunting whitetail in the fall and are in the market for a new rifle, read this review. Mossberg’s Patriot line offers tremendous value and excellent performance–and this from a company most associate with shotguns.

Ever find one of those deals on gun that’s too good to pass up? The gun may be marked “as-is” or the owner may admit that it needs a little work. Those are some of the best bargains, if the price is right and you are up to the repair. Check out this example.

The PWS Modern Musket made a big splash last year. So how has the rifle stood up to the ambitious nature of its name? Muskets were, after-all, tools of war that also served civilians who had to put food on the table. So is this the modern equivalent–a gun that can fight, hunt, and defend liberty?
