The People’s Rifle, At A People-Friendly Price: The New Mauser 18

The People’s Rifle is made for shooters or hunters who want functionality first and foremost, including exceptional accuracy.

GUNWERK’S CLYMR RIFLE REVIEW: 1000 Yards Out Of The Box

GUNWERK’S CLYMR RIFLE REVIEW: 1000 Yards Out Of The Box

The Gunwerks slogan is “1000 yards out of the box”, meaning a savvy shooter should be able to take a new rifle out of the case, chamber a round, dial for any distance out to 1000 yards, and ring steel. That’s an extraordinary claim, and one I was supremely interested in putting to the test.

DESERT EAGLE SPREADS ITS WINGS AGAIN – With the New .429 DE Magnum!

DESERT EAGLE SPREADS ITS WINGS AGAIN – With the New .429 DE Magnum!

There are a lot of handguns that can be called “iconic”, but that word seldom applies more accurately than when used to refer to the Desert Eagle by Magnum Research.

A Devil of a 1911: The 5 Tactical From Devil Dog Arms

A Devil of a 1911: The 5 Tactical From Devil Dog Arms

My work has me reviewing new 1911’s regularly and the Devil Dog is among the best I have ever used. The trigger, the functionality, and of course the accuracy—all near the top of my 1911 experiences.

Browning Cynergy Shotgun Review

Browning Cynergy Shotgun Review

The first time I hefted Browning’s new Cynergy, it left me feeling pleasantly surprised and excited to take it afield in pursuit of gobblers. The shotgun is lightweight, well balanced, carries pleasantly, and comes to the shoulder nicely.

Mossberg’s New MC1 SC - Elmer Fudd Gets His CCW

Mossberg’s New MC1 SC – Elmer Fudd Gets His CCW

Mention the name Mossberg to anyone at the range, and they will almost certainly have a mental image of a shotgun. Depending upon the individual, that image might be a long shotgun for hunting waterfowl or it might be the more tactical Model 500, but you can bet that mental image is not of a tiny polymer-framed 9mm handgun. That’s about to change!

M&P-10 Sport - Bargain Bin Price That Is Big On Performance.

M&P-10 Sport – Bargain Bin Price That Is Big On Performance.

  I must confess that sometimes I am a bit of a gun snob, especially as it relates to rifles. I don’t have any full custom second mortgage guns, but I generally look well above the price point of the M&P 10 that came in for review this week. As a retired military sniper and [...]

Engineering Around Genius: Winchester’s Forgotten 1911 SL

Engineering Around Genius: Winchester’s Forgotten 1911 SL

Way back when, “A man’s word was his bond.” But in 1901 the bond between two powerhouses in the firearms industry was broken.  T.G. Bennet, President of Winchester, and John M. Browning had come to an impasse over how JMB would be compensated for his latest creation: the Auto 5 shotgun.

Built for Speed – Canik TP9 SFx Full Review

Built for Speed – Canik TP9 SFx Full Review

Review of the Canik TP9 SFx pistol.  The TP9 SFx was ready to go right out of the box for Production Division or Carry Optics Division with the addition of a red dot optic.    In the future, if I decide to switch divisions, or stop competing in USPSA matches, the TP9 SFx could fill a home defense role. 

Showdown: Pocket Rocket v. PMR30 — Full Review

Showdown: Pocket Rocket v. PMR30 — Full Review

Why do we die-hard gun nerds do what we do? Sure, we pontificate about self-defense applications, civil unrest, and the pending end of the world. But what really is it that drives this preoccupation we all seem to have with cool dangerous toys that are sleek, black, and oily? I would assert that despite our [...]
