Many a tyke got their first taste of a ‘real gun’ when they put dad’s slug gun to their shoulder and under the old man’s supervision, pulled the trigger. The awakening, for so many poor, innocent younglings, came rudely. Every November I get to watch little kids wearing puffy coats and gloves struggle to see … Read more
Shotguns are my favorite firearms. I like the recoil and I like the power. I like launching nearly a third of a AR-15 magazine per shot fired. As a shotgun fan and a lover of old guns I, of course, love old shotguns. One of my favorites is the Winchester 1897. While not the first … Read more
Genesis Arms created the 12 gauge conversion for the AR-10 platform. Swap the upper, beef up your magazine catch, bolt catch (reverse compatible with regular AR-10s) and grab a Gen-12 magazine and your long-range AR-10 just became a versatile short range blaster. I’ve been following Genesis Arms for a few years now and done my … Read more
Let me start by saying I’m not a turkey hunter. That’s why when Dan assigned me the Mossberg 940 Pro Turkey shotgun at SHOT Show, I wasn’t expecting much that would hold my interest. What I found was a truly awesome shotgun that will not only take gobblers with ease, but would also be a … Read more

These are 2-inch slugs he was talking about. In the past, we’ve tested 1.75-inch shells and 2.5-inch shells, so these were … Read more
I’m the shotgun nerd around these parts, and that lead me to the SDS Imports and Tokarev USA booth at SHOT Show’s Range Day 2022. There, I handled their TX3 12HD, aka the Retro Riot Gun. Anytime you slap a bayonet on a shotgun, I’m going to pay attention. I shot the stainless and standard … Read more
One of the bigger surprises of 2021 was the release of the Smith & Wesson M&P 12 gauge shotgun. S&W has been out of the shotgun game for a long time, and the company didn’t just toss a basic pump-action scattergun into their product line and call it a day. They released a dual tube … Read more
My love of shotguns extends to the mostly useless firearm category of pistol grip-only 12 gauge firearms that have become popular as of late. These firearms don’t mind getting a little silly, and Kalashnikov USA’s Chaos is a perfect example of a silly twelve-gauge firearm that meets all the criteria for a fun gun. The … Read more
