My first exposure to a Daniel Defense DELTA 5 rifle was at the recent Government Training Institute – Legion Precision Rifle Course (see my reviews for Day 1 and Day 2 of the course). Joe Marler, priorly of the USMC and now Daniel Defense’s Law Enforcement Sales Manager, used a DELTA 5 in .308 for […]
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 […]
There are very few things that deliver a quick hit of dopamine as fast as working the action on a well made lever gun. The Henry Classic Lever Action.22 is most certainly one of the better-made rimfire guns and an excellent example of a fun, affordable lever-action rifle. Semi-auto rifles mostly dominate the rimfire world, […]
By Matt Magliacane Features Canik is known for delivering a lot of bang for the buck. Their ONE Series TP9SF Elite 9mm is no exception, and it may even be the exemplar. The TP9SF Elite is a striker-fired, single action semi-automatic pistol. The TP9 series borrows heavily from the tried-and-true Walther P99 series. Its 15+1 […]
By Virgil Caldwell This is the second Guncrafter Industries 1911 I’ve owned. While there are comparable handguns from Wilson Combat, Nighthawk and Les Baer, and others, the Guncrafter ‘gun with no name’ style — their base model — is very attractive, if simple Having owned and shot a lot of John Moses Browning’s designs, I’ve […]
Oh good people, ask and you shall receive. Henry Repeating Arms, after many years of many requests from clamoring customers, has gifted us all this Christmas with a side gate loading lever action rifle. It’s gorgeous. It works perfectly. It’s accurate. And this new Henry .45-70 Government chambering is capable of taking any animal on […]
By Austin Knudsen Is the Smtih & Wesson 1006 still the best 10mm pistol ever made? I never really got on the 10mm train. Sure, I’d read the articles and knew all of the history. The 1986 Florida FBI shootout. Colonel Jeff Cooper. And the cult gun of all cult guns, the Bren Ten. It […]
Based on Russia’s go-to submachine gun, the Vityaz-SN, which in turn was based on the AK-74, Kalashnikov USA’s KR-9 brings AK form factor to the pistol caliber carbine (and pistol, and SBR) market. And it does this in a surprisingly refined, smooth, and fun-to-shoot fashion. First thing’s first: yes, the KR-9’s muzzle is threaded in […]
Whether you call the Taurus 692 a multi-caliber revolver, a dual cylinder revolver, or just a neat trick, it’s an interesting innovation. Taurus has overcome the difficulty of producing a double action revolver with dual cylinders. Single action revolvers use a base pin that makes lining up the cylinder fairly simple. Making .22 LR/.22 Magnum […]
Impulse buying guns isn’t easy to do with the price most go for. Even “cheap” guns rarely offer enough value for an impulse purchase. However, sometimes a low price and a lot of value gets me in trouble. For example, that time I ran across the Puma Camper. The Puma Camper — also sometimes advertised […]
After all of my posturing about only reviewing firearms “for hunters,” this gun review is generally not for those interested in shooting game. Instead, the rifle under discussion – the MG Arms Banshee in .300 Winchester Magnum – was designed by Kerry and Carol O’Day to be (in their own words) “the ultimate long-range tactical […]
I popped into Silencer Shop to see what was good and new, and they suggested I borrow a Griffin Armament AR-15 for review. Wait, Griffin is making complete guns? Considering their solid reputation for components like bolt carrier groups, barrels, charging handles, muzzle devices, and more, putting together a complete AR was an obvious next […]
