The Taurus TX22 Braced takes an already impressive .22 LR pistol and adds a folding brace, optics-ready slide and suppressor-friendly setup. It ran cheap ammo surprisingly well and delivered plenty of fun, but the missing manual safety and a stubborn brace button left me with a few complaints.

After our first SIG P385 deep dive, viewers came back with more technical questions, so we went straight back to SIG Sauer for answers. In Part II, Eric McKenzie addresses future P385 models, AXG grip modules, other calibers, the manual safety, FCU interchangeability, threaded barrels and suppressor compatibility, MIM parts, U.S. manufacturing, durability, slide finish, [...]

At SIG NEXT, I sat down with Eric McKenzie, SIG Sauer’s Director of Commercial Product Management, to dig into the technical details of the new P385. Instead of covering the basic specs again, I pulled questions directly from YouTube comments, Reddit threads, GunsAmerica, and other discussions where shooters were asking things SIG had not really [...]

The SIG P385 is not another P320 variation. We shot SIG’s new modular 9mm platform at SIG NEXT 2026 to see what its new FCU, low bore axis, recoil system and MagStrap grip actually bring to the range.

The Girsan Witness2311 CMX XXX does something a lot of compact double-stack 1911s do not: it actually shrinks the grip. Add 16+1 rounds, excellent accuracy, an $899 MSRP, and more than 400 rounds without a malfunction, and this little 9mm gets difficult to ignore.

The Savage 110 Core Tactical pairs a thoroughly modernized Model 110 with the low-recoil reach of 22 ARC. Ours was shooting around three-quarter MOA with factory ammunition almost immediately, then making repeatable hits all the way to 1,024 yards.

After more than 1,300 rounds and 12 months of regular carry, the Kimber CDS9 has become my go-to EDC. It is accurate, distinctive, and flawless for me unsuppressed, although suppressor testing exposed one weakness worth knowing about.

The Springfield Prodigy 3.5 AOS packs 18 rounds into a compact double-stack 1911 built for concealed carry, then backs it up with approximately 500 rounds of malfunction-free testing and a best 15-yard group of just 0.61 inches.

The Savage 110 RF Elite Precision takes the full-size Model 110 concept into .22 LR with serious competition hardware, a clever reversible bolt throw, and impressive accuracy. After two months of range work and varmint hunting, the bigger question is whether all that performance is enough to justify its $2,399.00 MSRP.
