Admit it. We all have had a Ruger Mini-14 in our past lives. The classic wood and blued steel Mini-14 helped whet our appetite for 5.56 caliber semi-automatic rifles pre-AR-15 days.

Tisas is a firearms maker in Turkey and produces the model D10. This pistol offers a lot of quality and performance for a little coin.

The PDP 4.5”, like all of the PD series, is a 9mm striker-fire, recoil-operated pistol with a polymer frame. The PDP checks a lot of boxes for a 9mm striker fire.

Love it or hate it, the 10mm round deserves respect. Both the chambering and the 6.3-inch barrel that Dan Wesson equips the Bruin with make it a great choice for hunting—especially with 10mm cartridges loaded to their full potential. Pigs, deer, and bear within close range will fall prey to the Bruin.

The RONI kit is an ingenious polymer and metal “sleeve” that wraps around many popular pistol models to create a compact and multiple rail-ready carbine. The standard RONI is intended for law enforcement use as it converts a pistol into a short-barreled rifle. However, CAA has now developed the new STAB-RONI for civilian use without having to file National Firearms Act (NFA) paperwork.

The Arex Rex Zero 1S combines SIG-style features with a distinctly 1911-style feature into a rugged and reliable self-defense firearm.

The Franklin Armory Binary Firing System drop-in AR-15 trigger allows a shooter to fire a round with the press of a trigger and fire a second round with a release of the trigger. From a tactical standpoint, the Franklin Armory BFS can significantly increase the rate of fire.
