Lipsey’s honors John Taffin with a Ruger Blackhawk Flattop Bisley in .45 Colt with a .45 ACP cylinder. We shot real .45 Colt and .45 ACP loads, checked chrono and groups, ran leather, and asked if this tribute truly earns the title Perfect Packin’ Pistol.

The concealed carry revolver might seem outdated, but we can see it still has potency and a place in the concealed carry conversation.

If you want a compact 9mm that shoots flatter than most pistols out of the box, try the Archon Type B Gen 2.

The Maztech X4-LRF is the newest entry in the weapon-mounted laser rangefinder (WMLRF) space, and it does a lot more than just ranging targets.

The Springfield Armory Model 2020 Heatseeker blends precision bolt-action performance with the modular adaptability of AR-style components.

The ultimate .22LR bolt-action competition rifle started with a lot of research, and ended up with a no-budget build. After target shooting and competing with this rifle at a PRS22-style match, I can confidently say this build performs as good as it looks.

Springfield Armory has given the SAINT Victor lineup a major refresh, expanding the line to cover everything from AR-15 pistols to full-length AR-10 rifles.

The CZ Shadow 2 Carry brings the heart of a match gun to an EDC-sized package. It keeps the ergonomics and shootability that made the Shadow line a favorite, then trims the footprint to Glock-19 territory and adds a drop-safe, decocker-equipped SA/DA system that makes sense for concealment.

The Echelon 4.0C Comp is a compensated, polymer-frame, striker-fired 9mm pistol. This model is a compact-sized handgun, and its standout feature is the ported slide and barrel that it sports.
