Wheelguns are inherently attractive weapons. It’s hard to make an ugly one (possible, but difficult), and even the ugly ones have some charm to them. Of all the revolvers currently being produced, the Kimber K6S DASA Target has to be one of the best looking (the new Python might also be tied for that first […]
The FN 509 may not have won the MHS trials, but it’s become a rather popular alternative to GLOCK Perfection. FN has been wise to throw a lot of support behind the gun and this has most certainly helped translate into more sales. FN has made a ton of handguns in the last decade or […]
“Hello there,” I said to myself as I stumbled across the Dan Wesson DWX Compact. With just a passing glance you’d think it was another one of the many 1911s in the Dan Wesson lineup. However, the DWX Compact is a bit more than that. The DWX Compact is an experiment in blending some of […]
Walther initially announced the Walther CCP in .380 way back in January 2019, and then nothing ever happened. The gun disappeared for some reason. In 2020 they sent a press release out relaunching the gun. It was a standard press release as if they had forgotten the CCP in .380. They finally had one at […]
With so many different products coming out of SHOT Show it can be dizzying. Luckily, sometimes you are in the right place at the right time and you hear about something rather sweet. I was in the Media room when people started chatting about the new Meprolight Foresight. I heard a few things and my […]
I have a checkered history with 1911s. I don’t get the hubbub, but I can appreciate their aesthetic, the awesome triggers and historical significance. There are lots and lots of different companies producing 1911s, probably close to the number of companies producing different types of AR-15s. The gun has been around the block a time […]
Streamlight has been oddly quiet about the TLR-9, and in general a bit quiet about their range of new products for SHOT Show. This includes a TL Racker for the Mossberg Shockwave and SBS Mossbergs, and of course the TLR-9. The TLR-9 is Streamlight’s newest full-sized weapon light. This model is specifically designed for the […]
Palmetto State Armory is a company that doesn’t seem to be scared of making weird stuff a reality. They started with their AK-V, beating Kalashnikov USA to the 9mm AK pistol and rifle market. Better yet, they chose the very aesthetically pleasing CZ Scorpion magazines as their base mag. They didn’t stop there though. This […]
Let’s see…we have the KRISS .22, the LCP 22, the CP33, the GLOCK G44. Something about 2020 has brought us back to the .22 LR. Maybe it’s the fact there are two twos in 2020 that has inspired the gun makers of the world to design more .22 LR products. I love the .22 LR […]
Smaller calibers are making quite a surge lately. Between 5.7 and the .22 LR it seems that the gun industry is all about going small and compact. And 22 LR, in particular, is getting quite a bit of attention. Ruger did a .22 LR LCP, Christensen Arms did the Ranger, and Kel Tec has given […]
The AR 15 market is quite crowded, and admittedly it can be a dull market to browse. At this time, there aren’t many surprises left out there. What you can look for is innovative systems like BCM’s new upper, or you can try and find the best bang for your buck. This article is about […]
No, the IWI Tavor TS12 shotgun doesn’t cycle mini shells, it’s a semi-auto shotgun designed for standard shotgun ammo. The mini shell thing is quickly becoming the “Does it take GLOCK mags,” meme for smoothbores. Now that’s out of the way, and we can get on with what has been the hardest gun I’ve had […]
