We all have a favorite gun–the rifle you wanted for years, or a pistol you picked up on impulse and still cant get enough of. Once you get it, what else is there? Sure, you should stock up on ammunition and accessories. Then what? Buy a new gun? Maybe. Or look at your other options. Finish that one gun off the right way. Truly make it yours and send it to someone like Scalpel Arms for kick ass custom Cerakote.

Everyone here at the NRA show in Nashville has been talking about a brand new 9mm–a gun that’s supposed to dominate the market and change how we think about concealed carry. Could it be that this new wonder-gun isn’t a single stack? Check out the P30SK.

Your fun-gun just got serious. And how. We’re at the NRA show in Nashville, and Magpul has brought along a couple of new additions to their line-up. And these aren’t your typical AR add-ons.

The upcoming Modular Handgun Trials may determine a replacement for the M9. What will FNH sumbit for the trials? They’ve got options. And if the FNX-45 Tactical is any indication, whatever they submit is going to be a contender.

Finding the right gun is complex. Finding the right holster should be an afterthought. But it isn’t the wrong holster can color how you feel about the gun, and about carrying. If you’re in the market for a truly rugged Kydex rig, I’d suggest RLSmith. These things are robust.

Body armor has been evolving quickly lately. Material science keeps pushing the bounds of what is possible. AR500 is taking the actual design to the next level, too. Their Micro Plate Carrier is exactly what it sounds like. But don’t let its small size fool you–this is a small rig with big potential.

People get really emotional about Hi-Point guns. You could say that folks “either love them or hate them,” but I think there is a better explanation than that. Quality control and customer service are always an issue with small and fast growing companies. Hi-Point has had its ups and downs, so some people got good guns, and some people got very bad guns. Everyone I know who has purchased a Hi-Point in the last few years has been delighted with it, and my local gun dealer said that he sells a ton of them and none of them ever come back as having problems. To me that says that the word on the street is that Hi-Point guns are now generally reliable, and they have always been very inexpensive for what you get…when it works.

1873 was a big year in the firearms world. Colt’s new single action was adopted by the Army and Winchester came out with their best lever action to date. Originally chambered in .44 W.C.F., aka 44-40, the 1873 Winchester was the most powerful of the lever guns when it was introduced. This was a huge step forward from the rimfire .44 caliber used in the Henry and earlier Winchester rifles.
