Smith & Wesson has a new line of factory ported M&P pistols. These flat shooting powerhouses are fast and even easier to handle. We got our hands on one and have our first impressions.

Smith & Wesson’s M&P Performance Center Ported Model Is One Flat Shooter
BY Tom McHale Updated: December 19, 2014The New Ruger Gunsite Scout .308 Bolt Rifle – Full Review
BY Sam Trisler Updated: December 16, 2014Ruger has been announcing news about their new guns on the same day they hit stores. This means you can read this review and be on the range with their new rifle this afternoon–if you’re that motivated. And you might be after you read this review. I’ve shot a lot of rifles this year, and this is one of the best.
Kahr CT380–The Perfect Pocket Pistol?
BY Jacob Epstein Updated: December 14, 2014Sometimes mouse guns are too damn small. Not the Kahr CT 380. This pocket .380 is incredibly easy to conceal, but makes none of the compromises some guns make on the race to the bottom. If you are looking for a solid .380 for a back-up gun, the CT 380 may be it. And the price tag makes it look even better.
New PWS Shaw’s All MK114
BY Dave Higginbotham Updated: December 13, 2014Daniel Shaw, head of firearms instruction at Thunerbird Tactical, is such a badass that PWS has built a limited number of rifles with his name on them. These MK114s with a personal touch. Check them out here, first.
Ruger’s SASS Tricked-out Vaqueros —Cowboy Shooting
BY Sam Trisler Updated: December 12, 2014Cowboy action shooting is growing in popularity. The guns are kind of like NASCAR race cars–stock, sort of. They begin as stock guns, but get all tricked out on their way to SASS competition. Now Ruger is making matched sets of SASS ready Vaqueros that are already tricked out and ready to rock the steel bad guys. So pistoleros–strap on your chaps and dust off your Stetsons. We’re getting all cowboy in this Vaquero review.
SilencerCo’s Osprey Suppressor Is One Cool Bird
BY Tom McHale Updated: December 11, 2014Everyone should have a silencer. They are legal in most places, but should be legal everywhere. And they shouldn’t require any extra paperwork, at all. They make shooting safer, and more fun. Today, we’re putting the SilencerCo Osprey through its paces. This .45 can is unique, and effective. Check out our review.
M1A Sniper – On the Cheap, or All the Way?
BY Paul Helinski Updated: December 8, 2014With Christmas approaching, it is a great time to think about all of those upgrades to your guns you have been thinking about. One I have been considering for some time is putting a scope mount on my M1A, but my assumptions were that it was both expensive and difficult, requiring a gunsmith. Turns out I was wrong on both counts. There are expensive options and inexpensive options for installing a rear scope mount on the M1A, and they work equally as well. I tried both the official Springfield Armory mount, as well as a couple exact copies, as well as a new design from UTG. They all worked, and some better than others.
H&K’s Sub Compact P2000sk–Where’s the Love?
BY Jacob Epstein Updated: December 7, 2014The H&K P2000sk is the smallest pistol H&K makes. With its 10 rounds of 9mm, the gun offers better than average sub compact capacity and excellent ergonomics. This is easily one of the most robust pistols in its class, and one of the easiest to shoot. So why isn’t it more popular?
The Best SIG P226? The TacOps–Review
BY Dave Higginbotham Updated: December 6, 2014The SIG P226 has been around for 30 years now, and its reputation continues to grow. And SIG continues to make upgrades to the platform. The P226 Tactical Operations takes what is already a fine fighting sidearm and refines it, adding features that make it faster, more responsive, and easier to feed. The result, the TacOps, is now my go-to gun for when things get really bad.
A Beautiful Beretta: The New 692 Sporting B-Fast Over/Under Shotgun
BY Tom McHale Updated: August 3, 2024This Beretta 692 Sporting model shown here is the first one of its type to hit US shores. It’s got the B-Fast comb system for near-infinite adjustment and extra long barrels (32-inch) preferred by many trap shooters. Just to be clear, this is not a dedicated trap gun – it’s well suited for skeet and sporting clays. It just offers features that make it suitable for trap as well. Let’s take a closer look.
