The whole concept behind how a firearm operates can be a little confusing. Gigantic visual aids have been a staple of basic firearms training in the military since at least the Second World War. These days, thanks to computer graphics and 3D modeling we can see the whole process without ever leaving the comfort of […]
In advance of SHOT Show, Palmetto State Armory has been teasing all week about the possibility that they will soon introduce an MP5 clone into the US market. That seems to have been confirmed at this point, thanks to an ARFCOM post their official account has posted these photos of their new MP5 receiver. PSA […]
I’m not a fan of the AK pattern 12 gauge semi-auto shotguns. I reviewed the original Saiga 12 back in 2011; I was not pleased. Last year Kalashnikov Concern released a version of the same firearm called the Kalashnikov KS-12 which fixed some of my complaints. But it still didn’t reliably cycle common ammunition. Lone […]
Some of you may have noticed that we already announced the S&W M&P10 Sport as the Reader’s Choice Best New Rifle of 2017. The Reader’s Choice awards is where you, the readers, are given the chance to vote on what you think is the best new thing to come out this year. We don’t put […]
I’m tempted to call shenanigans on this one. The Mossberg 590 shotgun has been on the market for years. It’s a good reliable safe choice for those who want a scattergun. This year, Mossberg decided to flip the bird to the ATF and release a shortened version of the firearm that (like the Franklin Armory […]
Besides the Hudson H9, this was one of my favorite new products from SHOT Show 2017. Magpul has been releasing tons of great new products every year and the X-22 Backpack stock is the latest in a long string of good ideas. Designed to take the compactness of the 10/22 Takedown to the next level, […]
There’s no doubt that the Hudson H9 made a huge splash when it was unveiled at SHOT Show 2017, and our own Jeremy S absolutely loved it when he finally had a chance to take a production version out on the range. In our review of the Hudson H9 he said “Few guns shoot nicer […]
Kevin Brittingham’s new company Q has been on a roll, releasing new product after new product into the market this year. One product that took everyone by surprise was the Erector — a modular rimfire silencer that can be as small or as large as you want. Eliminating the traditional tube, the cans are quieter, […]
In the quest for increased regulations on firearms, one common refrain from gun control activists is how easy it is for illegal guns to be bought and sold online. This story from NPR in 2016 specifically targeted Armslist, but while it made a lot of accusations it never actually proved that anyone was buying or […]
Smith & Wesson have been expanding their M&P line of handguns and rifles. One of the latest entrants into the field: the M&P10 Sport. Smith’s lightweight rifle packs the hard-hitting power of a .308 Winchester round into a compact package, easily at home on the range or on a hunt. Our review of the gun gave […]
One of my biggest complaints with some firearms is that it seems like they were designed to fit absolutely no one. The mechanics are great, but the furniture is designed for either Tyrion Lannister or Gregor Clegane. There’s rarely a happy medium. Savage is looking to change that with their new AccuFit, a highly adjustable […]
Ruger is releasing an extension to their very successful Precision Rifle line, this time in a much cheaper caliber. The .22lr rifle uses existing 10/22 magazines, which is great for gun owners since that means spares are immediately available and dirt cheap. MSRP: $529. From Ruger’s press release: Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE-RGR) is […]
