On a recent hunt sponsored by Remington, the product rep brought out several new models. I’d reviewed some of them before, some favorably some not so much. Of course, the one super-cool thing they had there was embargoed until next year. I thought I’d shoot some pigs, maybe some deer, but otherwise nothing caught my […]
Inexpensive German hunting rifle. These words do not go together. Sauer manages to pull it all together in their entry level hunting rifle, the Sauer 100. When many folks think of Sauer, they automatically assume the fine wood stocks most of their rifles are known for. There are 100’s in Beechwood stocks, but most are […]
There are a whole lot of cartridges out there for every use under the sun. Unfortunately, there’s a lot less knowledge about them than there needs to be. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We have a deep and authoritative knowledge base on hundreds of individual cartridges available to us. My friends, referring […]
Walking through the Cabelas Gun Library recently, a pistol caught my eye. A base model Colt Government Model Series 80 normally wouldn’t get a second look. It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s because I already have them, and I know the guns well enough. The USGI configuration Colt is what I compare all […]
The Targetize Personal Firearms Trainings System is one of a few new devices that track muzzle movement of your pistol in order to improve your marksmanship. Although I’m sure the technical devil is in the details, the concept is fairly simple. A motion sensor attaches to the bottom of your pistol and measures any movement […]
Last year TTAG editor Dan Zimmerman was able to spend some quality time with the Beretta APX. His review of the gun laid out the basics, including the modular serialized chassis system and the overall excellent ergonomics of the gun. TTAG’s been looking for a deeper dive into the performance of the platform ever since, […]
It was originally called the .30-30AR. That’s because Bill Wilson of Wilson Combat appreciates the terminal effect of the old .30-30 Winchester, but also enjoys the popular AR-15. So, he set out to make a round that would duplicate the old workhorse .30-30 in an AR-15 platform rifle. He’s certainly not the first person to try. […]
A couple of years ago I met Bill Wilson of Wilson Combat. When I told him I was from Central Texas, he immediately exclaimed “That’s Chip McCormick country!” It is indeed. I knew Wilson Combat was a direct competitor of the popular Chip McCormack 1911 magazine. What I didn’t know was that the two competitors […]
There’s been a bit of a .45 Super resurgence of late. I carry a pistol every day for self defense, but I also hunt quite a bit, and very much enjoy hunting feral hogs. I’m always looking for a pistol that can serve both roles well enough, so the .45 Super piqued my interest. First, […]
Last year, I wrote about growing up with the single-shot rifle, hunting around the world, and the commissioning of The Last Rifle I’ll Ever Need. John Stewart at Kiote Rifles took on the project, and shipped it to me earlier this summer. Since then, I’ve gotten to pull it apart, wipe the drool from it, […]
It seems that everyone at TTAG loves the PPQ line. Multiple writers have now completed multiple reviews on several different models. They are all highly positive. That’s because the PPQ is an outstanding firearm in its class. The new Walther PPQ Q4 TAC continues the trend. “Tactical” didn’t always have a real meaning with firearms, […]
Classic Gun Review: Belgian Browning Hi-Power Mk I The Belgian made FN Browning Hi-Power pistol ranks as one of my favorite side arms of all time. I appreciate the gun for its history, as well as its practical use. I’ve bought, shot the heck out of, and then sold many of mine to friends who […]
