$264 MSRP Stevens 320 20-Gauge Pump Home Defense Gun – Full Review
BY Tom McHale Updated: December 20, 2016If you’ve fired different types of shotguns, it’s obvious that recoil can be all over the map. Some load and gun combinations are relative pussycats, allowing one to fire hundreds of rounds per day with no ill effect. Others make you want to start sticking safety pins to your shirt and run for the nearest safe space. With recoil in mind, I got an itch to check out a 20-gauge pump shotgun for home defense. That brought me to the Stevens 320 Pump in 20 gauge.

A Plastic 1911? The EAA Witness 1911P .45 ACP—Full Review.
BY Justin Opinion Updated: December 19, 2016To be taken seriously in any high-stakes 1911 debate, you must know when to raise an eyebrow in approval and when to scoff.

Ultra-Compact SBR: LWRC IC PSD 5.56—Full Review.
BY Rob Garrett Updated: December 14, 2016In recent years, the changing threat matrix has resulted in many protection details transitioning from 9mm subguns to comparably sized platforms chambered for a rifle cartridge. While some agencies and military units make do with the M4 Carbine, others operate in environments not suited for the M4. What is needed is a submachine gun-sized carbine in 5.56mm.

BY Ian Kenney Updated: March 31, 2024I cut my teeth on Remington rifles and have owned my fair share of custom and factory offerings but I kept hearing how superior the Tikka rifles were. There was a time when I just considered that big talk and now that I’ve had a Tikka T3X Compact Tactical in my hands, I don’t think it’s all talk.
