Did you know that John Browning once dreamed of a striker-fired, all-metal, Hi-Power? During the design process of the Hi-Power pistol, a striker-fired variant was produced as a prototype. It didn’t go far, of course, and now we’re all familiar with striker-fired guns being made with polymer frames. But if part of you hankers for […]
Springfield Armory announced earlier this month the arrival of a new gun. And they were quite secretive about it. When they first reached out to me, they wouldn’t give a hint as to what it was. Rumors circulated with the Springfield Fiercely Defend website revealing nothing more than a countdown clock and an ‘H’. Users […]
Rock Island Armory’s VR lineup of shotguns is a growing. I reviewed the VRBP-100 just a short while back, and while I liked it, I didn’t love it. One VR model I really do love, though, is the VR80. The Armscor RIA VR80 is the second generation of their AR-style magazine-fed shotguns. It’s a magazine-fed, […]
Not everyone has the means or disposable income for the latest and greatest Wonder Nine that’s revolutionizing concealed carry or home defense. But everyone, regardless of means, has a natural right to armed self defense. Lots of people simply don’t have the dinero to shell out for an STI Staccato, or even a GLOCK 19. […]
The Second Amendment is for everyone. It doesn’t matter your race, religion, gender, or income level. As such, affordable weapons are a must if we’re going to expand the right to keep and bear arms to as many Americans as possible. Taurus is well known for their affordable revolvers and semi-automatic handguns. They are also […]
AR 15s, 1911s, and GLOCKs are hard to beat if you want a gun that’s easy to customize. They are three of the most popular firearm platforms in the world, and that’s apparent because these three guns are also the most common guns in the 80% world. I’m sure most of you know how 80% […]
Calling the AR market crowded is a colossal understatement. America’s rifle is undoubtedly the most popular rifle on the market. It can admittedly get a bit boring to talk AR, but occasionally something cool pops up. A couple of years ago I got my hands a Garrow Arms .17 HMR upper receiver. Not only is […]
Over 600 comments, mostly detrimental, were entered on the original review of the C9 in 2011. There was a follow-up review written by one of the more vocal critics and now 9 years later I have another C9, the special Yeet Cannon G1 edition. There was certainly an abundance of CAPS LOCK commandos hitting quite […]
I’m not a big 1911 fan these days, but back in the day, I spouted Fudd lore with the best of them. I needed a .45 ACP, but I was also quite young and underage at the time. I must have made enough of a stink because my Dad ended up buying me this Rock […]
I love pistol caliber carbines. I think they’re a ton of fun and I own way too many of them to justify beyond, “This is America.” One of the many I own is the CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Carbine.The CZ Scorpion helped usher in the PCC world alongside the SIG MPX and a few […]
In a day and age in which AR platform rifles are only getting smaller, I’m betting there are plenty of shooters who’ve never tried an AR-15 with a 20-inch barrel. The 16-inch standard AR15 carbine seems to be the most common AR these days, with shorter lengths also being quite popular. It’s a shame how […]
Not long ago I wrote an article about a folding survival shotgun and one of the commenters said something along the lines of, “Opinions on survival firearms are like assholes. Everybody has at least one.” He went on to elaborate about his choice of a takedown .22. Well, he’s right. Lots of people praise this […]
