{ 5 comments }

The Springfield Prodigy 3.5 AOS packs 18 rounds into a compact double-stack 1911 built for concealed carry, then backs it up with approximately 500 rounds of malfunction-free testing and a best 15-yard group of just 0.61 inches.

Benelli M2-G1 Review: A Cleaner Gas Gun Built for Speed

Benelli M2-G1 Review: Zero Malfunctions, New Gas System

{ 3 comments }

The Benelli M2-G1 brings a new Rear Piston Operated gas system to a hard-use tactical shotgun. I fed it cheap birdshot, rusty water-damaged shells, suppressed strings, and rapid fire, and several hundred rounds later it still had not malfunctioned.

Everyone has that one gun with absolutely zero practical purpose. This working A280-CFE Blaster in 22LR turns an AR-15-based build into a Cassian Andor-inspired space gun that keeps finding its way back into the range bag.

DNT ThermNight TNC635R Review: The Thermal That Does It All

{ 0 comments }

The DNT ThermNight TNC635R packs 640 thermal, digital day and night vision, a laser rangefinder, IR illuminator, and ballistic calculator into one optic. After extensive range work and several nighttime hunts, the surprise was not how much it does, but how well those systems work together.

{ 11 comments }

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.

Berlin was collapsing, the Reich was finished, and Georg Diers still had one terrifying steel monster left to fight with. This is the brutal, strange, and strangely compelling story of Germany’s last operational Tiger tank and the man who rode it into the end of the world.

Savage 110 RF Elite Precision: .22 LR Goes Pro

{ 3 comments }

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.

Walther WMP Review: This .22 Magnum Shoots Tiny Groups

{ 16 comments }

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.

{ 8 comments }

A CIA contractor, a 9mm Glock, two dead gunmen, and an international crisis turned Lahore into something that sounded straight out of Jason Bourne. The difference was that Ray Davis was real, and real life got substantially messier.
