The XD-E is a gun you have to shoot to believe. I generally don’t prefer DA/SA guns, but this one runs like a scalded cat.

When I was cowboy shooting at SASS matches back in the mid-90s, my holy grail cowboy gun was the Winchester 1887 lever action shotgun. It never made any sense to me that the most competitive shooters used a ’97 pump gun, and up until I found an ’87, I shot strictly side by sides. Sure, [...]

Over the last several years the firearms industry has exploded with AR-15 style rifles. Once the realm of large manufacturers, an increased demand and the potential for profit has spurred the launch of countless new rifle companies. At a more detailed level the market has seen an increase in ARs chambered in 9mm.

This week I chose to do a review on one of the best training tools around, the BC-C Zone steel target from MGM Targets.

We here at GunsAmerica first heard about what would become the FN 509 back in January, 2016 at SHOT Show. There were plenty of looks back and forth between the FN folks, followed by a polite “We’ll get back to you” when asked about it.

We received our sample of the 509 a few weeks ago after promising not to discuss it publicly until April 17th, 2017.

Nuclear war is surprisingly survivable, if you have the knowledge and the tools to best handle the blast and subsequent radiation. This article has a ton of great resources, and in the video I show you some readily available high level radiation meters that are generally under $100. America is in the crosshairs, and winter is coming. Are you ready?

The KRISS Vector revolutionized the pistol caliber carbine concept with the release of the first model, chambered in .45 ACP. A carbine in .45 ACP wasn’t very revolutionary – even Bonnie and Clyde had one of those – but what was revolutionary was the operating design of the Vector.

The Steyr firm can trace its roots back to the mid-1860s, in Steyr, Austria, and they’ve always prided themselves on producing rifles that have been on the cutting edge of technology. Their Pro Hunter is no exception, being a reliable, if futuristic-looking, bolt-action repeater that is designed to take the worst the elements can throw at it.
