An ideal home defense Ar-15 should be lightweight, modular, decently accurate and equipped with a light, laser, and a red dot sight. Smith and Wesson’s new M&P15T with M-LOK and Crimson Trace LiNQ System, perfectly fits these requirements, and I recently had the pleasure of testing one.

Is Your Rifle More or Less Accurate with a Suppressor?
BY Tom McHale Published: December 11, 2017 { 23 comments }Would you rather be quiet or accurate? Do you have to choose between them or do this two concepts coexist like politicians and sex scandals?
Not so long ago, I competed in an F-Class match, shooting at a distance of 800 yards. One thing that stood out was the competitors’ finicky attention to muzzle devices, or more accurately, the lack thereof. First, F-class allows none, so there’s that.

I have no reason to doubt that, but it did get me thinking.
First Look: Springfield SAINT Edge — Full Review
BY Clay Martin Published: December 7, 2017 { 15 comments }It is pretty hard to get excited about an AR-15 in the current marketplace, which as a consumer is a good problem to have. I am certain there is an analogy in me somewhere that is family website friendly but let’s all just use our own imaginations instead.

And on this one, Springfield Armory delivered in spades.

Cowboy Time Machine: Uberti Winchester 1873
BY Aram Von Benedikt Published: November 25, 2017 { 6 comments }My father was a big advocate of old cowboy guns. Hailing from Europe by birth and upbringing, his fascination with the old West and the cowboys who won it bordered on overzealous. Any gun good enough to be preferred by the old-time cowboys was good enough for him.
He had a point.
