Before you ask, no, this is not a mil-spec gun. It is much better than that. With the MSR-15 Valkyrie, Savage turned their Recon package into a competition-ready, hunt-ready shooter with a fascinating cartridge, the .224 Valkyrie. The semi-automatic MSR-15 Valkyrie rifle gets its name from the .224 Valkyrie cartridge. The .224 Valkyrie was Federal’s […]
I’m a sucker for the weird and the odd in the gun world. It doesn’t have to be efficient or effective to draw my attention. I can appreciate artistic quality and craft put in the Bond Arms derringers. I can appreciate the unique quality and designs Kel Tec puts out, and I can most certainly […]
If you’re thinking a watch isn’t really gun-related, you’re right. But if you’ve been a reader of our pocket dump posts, you know that like a good knife, a lot of gun owners consider a watch to be an important part of their everyday carry gear. One of the biggest trends in watches — particularly […]
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 an ad scrawled across my Facebook feed from a military collectors group showing a rare Ohio National Guard 870 with the bayonet lug and ONG markings, I nearly broke my keyboard punching in my credit card number as fast as I could. At the price of only $229 dollars, I should have bought five […]
There are an awful lot of very good choices these days in sub-compact and micro-compact pistols. We’re living in a golden age of concealed carry options designed to appeal to the millions of Americans who now have concealed carry permits or live in constitutional carry states. The fact is, not everyone can or wants to […]
While we’ve always covered the gamut of gun-related news, training, gun rights and other ballistic topics, TTAG’s most popular content category has always been our gun reviews. Good and bad, up and down, our readers love to read — and then comment on — our takes on handguns, rifles and shotguns. We’re frequently asked what […]
Connecticut-based Standard Manufacturing made something of a splash with the announcement of their S333 Thunderstruck revolver. The pocket-size wheel gun packs eight rounds of .22 WMR ammunition and fires two round with each pull of the trigger. If you think that’s unusual, maybe you missed the introduction of their S333 Volleyfire six-round .25 ACP pepperbox […]
When my Dad passed away, he left a collection of firearms that, though relatively modest, included some beautiful, custom-built items. Yet, at the time he died, my Dad was focused on building a collection of factory-made, Ruger products. One type of firearm missing from his collection of Rugers was a semi-automatic pistol. I know it […]
I’ve shot some very nice pistols doing this type of work. I have a pretty good idea of what to expect when it comes down to it, and there isn’t a lot separating most gun in terms of general performance. But by far, one of the smoothest, most accurate, and easiest-shooting 9mm pistols I’ve ever […]
It’s got more in common with the newer Marine Corps-issued Colt M45A1 CQBP than the original M1911A1, but the Devil Dog Arms Tactical framed 1911 chambered in .45ACP shares all the fighting greatness that made John Moses Browning’s classic legendary. When talking about Devil Dog Arms, the 600 Nitro Express in the room is the […]
By Jason Bayne As a 1911 fan and daily carrier, when Browning first introduced the 1911-380 and 1911-22 a few years back I was intrigued. I wasn’t sure if these were practical guns or more of a novelty. I did a little research and read the reviews I could find about them, but the price […]
