BY Clay Martin Updated: May 9, 2016Often when I travel, the gun I carry concealed is the only one I have. Ever had someone at your hotel room door, convinced they were at the right room? I have, and not cool. That’s why I carry a gun that I can actually shoot–The Springfield Armory XD-S.
Two New 9mm Springfield Range Officers
BY Sam Trisler Updated: April 29, 2016If you are a fan of the 1911 and have not checked out Springfield’s Range Officer line you owe it to yourself to do so. I have come to the conclusion that the standard Range Officer is just about the best bang for your buck in the target shooting 1911 world there is. The ROs have one of the best off the shelf slide to frame fits I have seen on a non-custom pistol.

BY Jon Hodoway Updated: March 19, 2016Fans of the 9mm 1911 have a new option. Springfield Armory has a 4″ Champion version of their purpose-built 9mm EMP that is ideal for those who want the most from their daily carry pistol.
Bring Back The M6 Scout Rifle
BY Jon Hodoway Updated: March 5, 2016We spend most of our time covering new guns, but there are some old ones we’d like to see brought back. Here’s one of them. The old M6 Scout is an excellent example of a survival gun. This .410/.22 LR has a rich history, and sells for an astounding price these days.

BY Jon Hodoway Updated: February 27, 2016Looking for a 1911 that’s ideal for concealed carry? Want it in a caliber other than .45 ACP? Check out the Springfield Armory EMP. These come in 9mm and .40 S&W, and we’ve been pushing these hard. So how do the redesigned 1911s hold up to the reputation Springfield has established with their 5″ guns?

First Look: Springfield Armory XD(M) 9mm and 45 Threaded Barrel Models
BY Tom McHale Updated: June 5, 2015Shhh! At the request of Springfield Armory, we’re going to keep quiet for a little while. I picked up a package yesterday from the folks in Geneseo, and in the box were too shiny new pistols. I mean really new, like not even on the shelves yet. And they’ve made some really big changes.
