There’s something about a 1911 blasphemously chambered in 9x19mm that I love. And you should love it, too. It’s everything that’s good about the 1911 platform smoothed out and refined with a significantly lighter recoil spring and a silkier, flatter, faster shooting experience. This new entrant to the 9mm 1911 market comes from Alpha Foxtrot, […]
When REI dropped the Camp Chef brand for anti-gun grandstanding reasons (Camp Chef is owned by Vista Outdoor), I got mad. Mad enough to go get the nicest thing Camp Chef sold at the time, their Woodwind Pellet Grill with Sear Box. And not from REI. Obviously. That was back in March of 2018, so […]
One of the very best uses of inexpensive, soft-shooting .22 LR ammunition is in training to properly shoot a full-size, centerfire rifle. All the better if your .22 LR firearm (or conversion kit) precisely matches your centerfire firearm in size, weight, ergonomics, trigger, controls, etc. New from Bergara is the B-14 R, which does just […]
Holding 11+1 rounds in its micro-compact magazine, it’s no mystery that the Springfield Armory Hellcat, reviewed by Dan here, has its sights set squarely on the famously standard-setting 10+1-round SIG Sauer P365 (reviewed by John Boch here and followed up by me here). Even though SIG wasn’t the first to shoehorn double-digit rounds of 9×19 […]
They tell me the ZRODelta Modulus is one firearm, but it sure feels like three. Scratch that, nine. More? The maths are hard to suss out, but with this complete Deployment Kit the configuration options are deep and wide. So that’s it. That’s the actual gun. At least, the part our benevolent government overlords have […]
Craig from Rugged Suppressors was in town visiting Silencer Shop last week, and the guys and gals there were cool enough to set us up in their vault with some lights and a couple of cameras. I did my best to interview Craig about Rugged — who they are, how they fit in the market, […]
With a serialized, easily-removed internal chassis, SIG SAUER’s P320 is a truly modular handgun. The ability for the end user to swap between slides and grip frames is a big selling point of the P320 platform, and the aftermarket continues jumping into the mix and upping the modularity factor. This spring we saw Mirzon at […]
Full disclosure: TTAG’s Chris Heuss and I run Black Collar Arms. But I swear we would have published this press release anyway. (ED: We would have.) At any rate, our chassis are super-nice and you should probably own one! And, now, we’re doing full guns, too. For more info on those, my own press release […]
Last November I attended a KelTec media event at High Bar Homestead in Wyoming. Though the list of warm places I would have rather been during Turkey Month is impressively long, it did offer me the opportunity to put dozens and dozens of full magazines — like, 33 and 50 rounds full! — through a […]
Unbeknownst to many, CZ-USA has been somewhat quietly rolling out a line of suppressors designed to compliment their rifles and subguns (and yours, too). Earlier this spring I was invited to join a West Texas hunt — for what, I didn’t know — to get some trigger time behind the new suppressor line, and jumped […]
Franchi, a 150-year-old shotgun manufacturer, clearly felt it was high time an affordable Italian hunting rifle hit U.S. shores. Affordable? Italian? Yes and yes. Meet the Franchi Momentum Bolt-Action Rifle. Available in six calibers, TTAG gave the $609 MSRP .308 Winchester flavor a test drive. Unsurprisingly, the Momentum is equipped with a synthetic stock. Synthetic […]
Last year we posted about the launch of Edelweiss Arms, a venture of KRISS USA that’s dedicated to importing classic European firearms. They’ve been busily importing ever since, and tomorrow they’re giving away a SIG P49 (there’s still time to enter). The P49 is the Swiss military equivalent of the SIG P210. For more info […]
