Gun Review

Living in Texas, I never thought I'd have the need for a dedicated slug gun. Most of the time when I'm shooting I'm surrounded by wide swaths of land. I can be fairly sure...

I was in college the first time I shot a Magnum Research Desert Eagle in .50AE. The slide going into battery sounded like a car door slamming shut. Over the next 20 years, I've had plenty...

Jon Wayne Taylor recently re-reviewed the Metro Arms American Classic II .45ACP 1911 (click here for original review). The "new" gun was reliable, save one malfunction. This is not the first time we've re-tested a...

In my last review of the Metro Arms American Classic II, I noted numerous first-round failures to feed FMJ ammunition, using multiple magazines. The value-priced made-in-Manilla 1911 had a lot of things going for it....

With an ever-increasing population of concealed carriers, the U.S. market is lousy with single-stack, sub-compact pistols. I don't think we're anywhere near saturation, either. Which opens up the doors to handguns like the inexpensive,...

  According to Col. Jeff Cooper, a scout-concept rifle should be magazine-fed, bolt action, chambered in a full-powered rifle caliber, relatively short-barreled, and designed to run iron sights or a low-zoom intermediate-eye-relief scout scope mounted...

  There’s something undeniably rugged about the AK-47 design. Intended to be used by relatively untrained conscripts and maintained less frequently than Robert’s guns (if that’s even possible) it keeps working under even the worst...

I shot my first AR-10 in 2009. When I pulled the trigger on the LaRue Tactical Optimized Sniper Rifle, my first shot at 100 yards went a little high. Even as my friend called...
