The Top 5 Turkey Guns for Under $500
BY Sam Trisler Published: February 19, 2015 { 22 comments }Turkey season is right around the corner. Although you don’t have to have a shotgun that is dedicated to turkey hunting there are a few options that will help. Turkeys have great eyesight, they see a lot better than we can. Cammo for the hunter is a must for hunting turkeys. I don’t think it is a must for your shotgun, but it can’t hurt. At the very least you want one that is not going to shine and sparkle in the sun like vampires in tween movies. I prefer an optic or rifle sights on a turkey shotgun. These guns with the proper chokes are capable of taking a turkey out to 40 yards or a bit more. The head on a turkey is small and the bead found on typical shotguns really doesn’t cut it. We want a bit more precision here.

New Striker Pistol From Sig Sauer – P320 – Full Gun Review
BY Tom McHale Published: February 13, 2015 { 56 comments }When you think of Sig Sauer pistols, you think of classic double/single-action. What you don’t think of is striker-fired. While the new P320 clearly inherits some ideas and inspiration from the modular Sig P250 design, the action is all new. It’s a constant action, striker-fired pistol, complete with the internal safeties you would expect in a striker design. And the modularity will allow you to easily swap between calibers and frame sizes.
In Defense of the Beretta M9
BY Dave Higginbotham Published: February 11, 2015 { 84 comments }After 30 years of dedicated service, I would expect there to be more ardent defenders of the Beretta M9.
