TTAG’s Virgil Caldwell has already reviewed the new SCCY DVG-1, the company’s first striker-fired 9mm pistol, but I hadn’t gotten the chance to shoot it yet. That changed early on Monday morning at Range Day. The DVG-1 is very much in keeping with the rest of SCCY’s lineup. It’s a fairly slim polymer pistol that’s … Read more
Imported by the Buffalo Cartridge Company under new company BRG USA, the new-to-the-U.S. BRG9 Elite is a striker-fired, polymer-framed 9mm pistol is made in Turkey. Showing some clear aesthetic similarity to the very popular, Croatian-made Springfield XD series, Dan and I popped into the Range Day booth to learn more and send some rounds downrange. … Read more
Ruger’s two SR1911 Competition pistols aren’t carry guns, but the Ruger SR1911 Competition Officer sure as heck is. This year, Doug Koenig’s signature guns in .45 ACP were unleashed at Range Day, and I got to shoot both of them. Just as with the government model, the SR1911 Competition Officer features a hand-fit bull barrel, … Read more
https://youtu.be/Z6GftvyPnbM KelTec was quietly showing off an integrally suppressed SUB2000 prototype at SHOT Show’s Range Day, and it was a huge hit. For obvious reasons.

Do you love Beretta shotguns (come on…who doesn’t?), but wouldn’t be caught dead busting bouncing rabbits or soaring battues with a cerulean blue competition gun? Beretta has felt your pain. Which is why they’re out with the more traditional A400 Sporting Black Edition. Besides the color makeover, Beretta’s enlarged the bolt handle and bolt release … Read more
Jeremy and others have already seen the Gemtech Integra at various shows over the past year, but this was my first time putting hands on one at the 2017 SHOT show. Unlike a traditional short barreled AR 15 + silencer, commonly referred to as a “two stamp” rifle, the Integra has a pinned and welded shroud … Read more
SilencerCo has always been the 800 pound gorilla in the room when it comes to silencer innovation, production, and marketing. They make a lot of silencers, and it can start to get confusing fast. On the pistol side alone, SilencerCo makes eight different models within three subgroups – Osprey, Octane, and Omega K. The Omega 45K … Read more
One of the not so secret secrets in the gun industry is that SilencerCo Sakers have a habit of departing the end of the barrel and making their way downrange.
