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.

Back in the Saddle: The “New” Marlin Debuts the “New” Model 1895 SBL
BY Brian McCombie Published: May 19, 2022 { 20 comments }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.
Area 419 Hellfire Linear Flash Suppressor
BY Clay Martin Published: May 19, 2022 { 1 comment }This is no question the best muzzle device I have seen yet for a short barrel gun. Worth every penny. If you have an AR pistol or SBR that needs taming, there is a new Sheriff in town. And its name is Hellfire LFS.
Marlin Reintroducing the Model 1895 Trapper in .45-70 Gov’t
BY Max Slowik Published: May 19, 2022 { 9 comments }This American-made lever-action rifle was manufactured with great pride and attention to detail.

Do I need a Gun Trust to Buy a Suppressor? The Practical Answer for Purchasing a Suppressor
BY True Pearce Published: May 18, 2022 { 5 comments }The reason I personally want all my suppressors and machine guns in an NFA/Gun Trust is simply for this one reason: it makes it possible for other people to legally possess my suppressors, SBR’s, or automatic guns.
Maxim Defense 7.62×39
BY Clay Martin Published: May 15, 2022 { 4 comments }Maxim Defense entered the fray just a few years back as a disruptor to the “same old, same old” firearms industry. They were initially known for their debut PDW brace and stock, a marvel of engineering. Through what we can only assume was a vision on Mescaline, Maxim managed to shorten the normal buffer system of an AR to 1/3rd the length while retaining full spring strength and buffer weight. Not just regular buffers either. They make them all the way up to H3, which is near double standard. Which would prove to be important later, like this week.
Transitioning to Pistol Red Dots with the Holosun 507c ACSS Vulcan from Primary Arms
BY CitizenHush Published: May 15, 2022 { 6 comments }I highly recommend this pistol red dot especially if you’re struggling to get used to them and still want to see what all the hype was about. The ACSS Vulcan was fast, consistent, and made follow-up shots incredibly easy.

Strike Industries Dummy Rounds
BY Clay Martin Published: April 30, 2022 { 1 comment }With the ammo shortage going around, it is a safe bet all of us are doing a lot more dry fire. And an often overlooked element of dry fire is having some dummies on hand. And probably not for the reason you think. But trust me, it is worth the $15.95 to have a set or two.
