Staying in The Black: The Thompson Center $263 Impact Muzzleloader – Full Review

Though the muzzleloading rifle market has quite a bit to offer, if this style of rifle isn’t your primary hunting tool a large investment may not make a lot of sense. For the hunter looking to extend their season, especially the later deer seasons, I personally feel the T/C Impact represents a good balance of useable features and affordability.

A True German-Made HK Semi-Auto Subgun? The Street-Legal 9mm SP5K – Full Review.

A True German-Made HK Semi-Auto Subgun? The Street-Legal 9mm SP5K – Full Review.

The Heckler & Kock SP5K 9mm is a rock-solid, proven design that all others must aspire to emulate. This gun is still a bargain compared to an original SP89, and I think is a better option based on how it comes equipped. If you want the real thing, it is definitely for you.

A Sub-MOA Winchester for $550? The XPR Bolt-Action – Full Review.

Things have changed at Winchester since the mid-19th century, the New Haven, Connecticut plant is no more, and ownership of the company has changed as well. One thing has remained though: Winchester rifles are synonymous with reliability. There have been many different models, and many variations on a particular model. Herein, I’m tackling the Winchester XPR rifle, a modern bolt-action designed to handle it all, at a price that won’t see you sleeping on the couch.

Ahead Of Its Time: The Retro Classic Franchi LAW 12 Scattergun

While the cumbersome SPAS 12 died a natural death around the turn of the millennium, its cousin the LAW 12 was a prescient piece of iron indeed. I traded out of my old LAW 12 a couple decades ago but recently found another one and righted that past wrong.

STI Hex Tactical 2011: A 9mm Triple-Tap Machine—Full Review.

STI Hex Tactical 2011: A 9mm Triple-Tap Machine—Full Review.

I have never owned an STI pistol, and until I received the Hex Tactical for this review, I had only shot them a few times, during “hey, try this out” sessions on match days. I was impressed on those occasions and was eager to have this model – a relatively new one from STI, all to myself for testing. Spoiler alert: I wasn’t disappointed!

Over/Under Gobbler Buster: Browning’s Cyngery Ultimate Turkey Shotgun – Full Review.

The over/unders (O/U) can make for a great turkey gun. Having two different chokes on tap lets you match the range to your bird, and no other gun gives such fast follow-up shots. The new Browning Cynergy Ultimate Turkey Shotgun gives you that and a whole lot more.
