Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. And about then is when I emailed Standard Manufacturing my debit card number. It was a challenge to wait even that long. I have every generation of the Single Action Army revolver from Colt. They’re great guns, and I enjoy shooting all of them. None of them are of the […]
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 […]
Being semi-retired from TTAG means that I get to be a little more selective with the firearms and gear that I want to review. No longer do I have a list as long as the Mueller Report filled with an endless stream of AR-15 variants that I need to test. Now I actually get to […]
I’m a Colt fan. Part of that is because of the history of the company, but no doubt the bigger part is because my dad kept a stainless Colt Python by the bedside. I grew up in awe of that big wheel gun, and like my dad, had supreme confidence in its capabilities. Since then, […]
“Crazy Horse would have been in front, alone, standing out in that kaleidoscope of shifting color by his apparent plainness. He would have worn only his breechcloth and a single hawk’s feather in his hair…He carried his Winchester lightly.” (Stephen E. Ambrose, Crazy Horse and Custer) When the Sioux warrior Crazy Horse stood looking out […]
By: Austin Knudsen Apparently I am the only person in the U.S. not impressed by the Springfield Armory Range Officer. I’m a 1911 aficionado, having owned my first 1911A1 at age 18. About a year ago decided I wanted (no, needed) a 9mm target pistol. I own several 9mm pistols, but nothing that qualifies as […]
I love shotguns. I own dozens of them. And the Rock Island Armory VRBP-100 is likely the most unique. The Rock Island Armory VR series of shotguns has traditionally taken an AR-like approach to semi-auto shotguns. The VRBP-100 12 gauge takes a slightly different route as you’d imagine. However, it does retain a few AR-ish […]
TRP stands for Tactical Response Pistol which, when you consider the sum of the Springfield 1911 TRP 10mm longslide’s components, it hardly seems designed for tactical use. Springfield offers two 10mm TRP Operator models with either 5″ or 6″ slides. This is more or less just a line of guns that share common features, but […]
Pew pew pew! The Space Invader has landed. Made by Noveske with an assist by Q and distributed exclusively by Silencer Shop, the Space Invader is the newest entrant to the pistol caliber carbine market. And before you say it, yes, there is space in this segment for it to invade. We, the gun-buying public, […]
I have a love-hate relationship with Armslist. I love the idea, but I hate the scammers, the guys trying to trade tattoos for guns, and the fellas who can’t seem to ever meet at the time and place agreed upon. Occasionally, though, you find a deal or an oddity you can’t say no to and […]
With the MC1sc subcompact 9X19mm, Mossberg has stepped into a crowed field of popular pistols. Subcompact 9mms have been great sellers, with the demand for easily concealable power showing no signs of abating anytime soon. With the MC1sc, the company often cited as the best value in shotguns presents a polymer framed, striker fired subcompact […]
