Gun Review

Bruger and Thomet is a Swiss company that has made quite the name for itself by producing extremely high-quality firearms. They produce firearms for military and police forces as well as options for the everyday Joe like you and me. In the United States, B&T is most famed for their PCC/Subgun/large format pistols. The APC9K is the smaller variant of the APC9 that’s more of a full-sized submachine gun.

The “Bad Guy” received one splitting headache – the kind of headache created by five, hard-thumping rounds of .45 AUTO to the front of the noggin.

The Jericho 941 provides shooters with a very capable clone of the CZ 75 that still differs enough to be a distinctly different pistol. This is a big heavy gun. I’m talking heavy enough to beat a man should you run dry. It doesn’t bode well for concealed carry, but for home defense and duty use, it’s a great choice.

What if you wanted a shotgun AR? Not a shotgun that looks like an AR, but an AR-15 that uses a MIL-SPEC multi cal lower complete with a standard upper? Well, that’s certainly an option, and the Charles Daly AR .410 upper receiver delivers unto you your shotgun AR.

Taurus has added to their G Series of handguns with the new G3 Tactical.

The TRS (Tactical Ready Series) Commander 1911 from Nighthawk Custom carries a hefty price tag of $4,399.00. Which has many readers asking themselves, “How the hell can any pistol be worth $4.3K?!”

The Florida-based company’s recently released Sidekick looks like a Colt, but its features and functionality take cues from more modern roots.

Last year, I reviewed the new STR-9, a 9MM semi-automatic pistol from Stoeger Industries of Istanbul, Turkey, for this very digital platform. Best known for its workhorse shotguns, Stoeger launched itself into self-defense handguns with the STR-9—and it did a workman-like job.

Marlin Firearms made big news recently by launching its first rifle since being acquired in 2020 by Sturm, Ruger and Company: the Marlin Model 1895 SBL chambered in the potent .45-70 Govt., and manufactured in Mayodan, North Carolina. Ruger, as was widely reported, purchased Marlin after the Remington Outdoor Company declared bankruptcy and its assets were sold, including the Marlin brand.
