Way back when, when I was a young buck who just starting to carrying a gun, I gave them all a shot. I tried every type of holster possible…or close to it. Belly bands were a brief experiment. The cheap one I had offered crappy retention, and even just wearing it around the house revealed … Read more
Holosun has been making waves in the optics industry. The company went from producing simple red dots to producing affordable, but surprisingly durable mini red dots like the 507C and 509T and the class-leading 507K. Their latest optic is the AEMS, representing a break from the standard Holosun optic. The AEMS represents not only a … Read more
At least in my experience, the modern gun show sucks. Huge letdown. It’s full of striker-fired polymer-frame pistols, AR-15s, Wish-quality optics, and everything wears an extreme markup. Don’t forget the cheap Chinese knives, the sound of tasers, and, of course, the random pyramid scheme. So, imagine my shock when my little town had its first … Read more

Last year’s virtual SHOT Show revealed the space age P50 from KelTec. If you’re not familiar with the P50, then you’re missing out. Well, you’re missing out if you like weird guns. The P50 is this crazy, retro-futuristic 5.7x28mm pistol that uses P90 magazines. It’s a handgun, but a really, really big one. Big handguns … 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
I never thought I needed a turkey gun. I’ve hunted turkey, but I just used a standard shotgun and it seemed to work fine. However, I will say I am damn sure attracted to the Mossberg 940 Pro Turkey. The Mossberg 940 improved upon Mossy’s 930 and it premiered just a few years ago in … Read more
