This week I finally dragged out my gasoline stoves. And the reason I waited so long is because I just assumed that they worked (they did), and I assumed that most survival minded folks have seen a dual fuel Coleman stove (not so much). If you watch the video, I brought in a couple other Chinese stoves that may be a better buy than the Coleman stoves, and they are certainly more portable. But first I want to back up a bit and address the point that I made in the video about cooking in general, and cooking specifically with gasoline.

SIG seems like they are poised to try and take over the world right now, and from the new products I have seen this year that wouldn’t be a bad thing. No surprise then when we saw the new SRD22X rimfire silencer and were told it is the quietest one on the market.

Talley Manufacturing’s detachable rings allow shooters to remove and replace an optic without having to worry about a shift in zero.

Two weeks ago, GunsAmerica got the invite to attend the Beretta Tactical Summit hosted at The O’Gara Group training facility in Virginia. The choice of venue was a deliberate step by Beretta as they aggressively step back into the tactical market, and featured toys from across the Beretta line. It was a really nice change from usual product releases, and the facility offered a chance to really wring out the new APX 9mm striker-fired pistol. We had to hold off publishing due to an embargo on info on the pistol, but finally, its day has come.

Sometimes you just must stop and go, “Have I seen everything?” As I got a chance to look at Adler Arms at SHOT Show 2017, I realized that they were not another me-too company. They had shotguns for hunting, sporting and tactical purposes. This included various schemes of Cerakote, wood and all manner of bolt-on products and accessories. You could pick any length barrel you wanted from 10 to to 28 inches., Oh, and they are all lever actions.

This past year Century Arms figured out a way to get a classic externally hammered coach sized side by side into the hands of American shooters for under $300. As you can see from the video, the gun has a bunch of ugly markings on it, but it works great.

Savage has now broken into what is currently the largest segment of the rifle market, bringing along their 123 years of rifle-making history into its MSR (modern sporting rifle) line of AR-style rifles. We were understandably eager to see how they could impact this established market in a state of change with our review of the new MSR 15 Recon in .223 Wylde.

The bullpup shotgun is one of the hot new guns being introduced by several companies. The reasons are simple and straightforward; they take a hard-hitting gun, reduce the size, all the while increasing maneuverability without giving up reliability or firepower. However, these new generation of shotguns are not inexpensive and most of us already own a pump action shotgun.

This past Sunday 60 Minutes ran yet another hit piece on the Remington 700, and this time Remington didn’t just take it and release a bland statement. Instead they put forth a long and linked explanation that 60 Minutes completely ignored the evidence in the case, and deliberately attacked the company fraudulently. Yet another battle in the war against fake news.
