MKS Supply is giving their Hi-Point .380 ACP a yeet into the new year. No, they aren’t chucking their .380s out of the line, rather they’re giving it the full Yeet Cannon treatment with the release of the YC380. This will add a threaded barrel, the new style grips, reshaped slide with optics mounting … Read more
If you’re a fan of modern lever guns you’re going to love the latest iteration of the Dark Series from Marlin Firearms. (See our review of the previous take on this gun here.) Since Ruger took over the Marlin brand they aren’t just churning out the same old Marlins that our dads and grandads had … Read more
Back in January of 2019 Hi Point Firearms announced a new 9mm and had a now-infamous naming contest on social media for the pistol. In the grand tradition of Boaty McBoatface, that resulted in an overwhelming vote to name the new gun the Yeet Cannon, or YC9…much to Hi-Point’s chagrin. The Yeet Cannon option made … Read more
Matador Arms makes my favorite AR to PCC adapter. It’s a mag block that fits into a mil-spec magwell and allows me to use CZ 75 magazines in my AR. That’s what I knew Matador Arms for, but that was before the MAT-9. The MAT-9 is a AR-9 upper designed to fit any AR 9mm … Read more

With that in mind, the GSG-9 that’s being imported from ATI caught my attention. GSG famously made … Read more
Two SHOT Show Range Days in a row have brought me to the SDS Imports table. Last year it was to see the Retro Riot Gun, but this year it was for the Tisas Fatih. I keep calling it the Fatty, which seemed to be a common joke among the SDS Imports staff. The Fatih … Read more
For years the Italian Carabinieri wielded the Beretta Model 12 SMG quite successfully. This was a stamped steel SMG that fired from an open bolt and was designed in 1959. For decades they used the Model 12, and when they needed a new SMG, they basically wanted a more modern Model 12…which is exactly what … Read more
SHOT Show is a great place to get some media coverage for your product. If you are a company that produces solid, but somewhat uninteresting firearms, there’s a proven tactic to get it some pub. Introduce something zany, silly, or downright weird. You’ll get gun writers like me streaming to your booth to see the … Read more
I like revolvers, but I’m not a revolver guy. I still appreciate a six-gun, but they have never really been my main go-to for self-defense. Believe it or not, Taurus has me yearning for two of three new revolvers. The new Taurus 856 and 605 have both caught my attention. The main reason is the … Read more
