SDS Imports saved us from the import ban on popular Saiga and VEPR 12ga Ak shotguns with their Cheetah 12. The Cheetah 12 has many features that some consider improvements over the traditional AK design and yet not everyone was satisfied. What about the classic AK safety, Scope rail, and most importantly that tang ta-tang […]

Shots Fired: Spike’s Tactical Roadhouse AR-10: GBguns Video
Not long ago we brought you an up-close look at the Roadhouse AR-10 in .308 from Spike’s Tactical. Ambidextrous controls and no detail overlooked describes this battle tank of a rifle. On a bitter-cold morning with sleet accenting the weather I hit the range for testing. Does the cold impact ammunition performance? Yes. Does the […]
17+1 Rounds of 9mm in a 1911 | American Classic XB Tabletop Review
Tactical Tupperware may be the way of the future, but the ergonomics and crisp trigger of a 1911 can’t be denied. Perhaps it’s the handsome lines of Browning’s design or the reassuring heft of a steel frame in hand, but regardless, it’s tough to be a handgunner and not appreciate the 1911. Fortunately, appreciation for […]
Langdon Tactical 92 Elite LTT Pistol
Many of us who served with the Beretta 92 in the form of the M-9 left the gun with an unfair opinion of it. As a former armorer I can verify that at least in the Army and during my service maintenance including things like replacing recoil springs was not done at intervals civilians use. […]
Ranger Proof Rifle | Enhanced ELC Range Testing
Recently, I received a call from Graham Baates of GBGuns.org and YouTube fame (or infamy). He is also a contributor within the Hurricane Group Inc. family of websites, of which Loadout Room is a part. GB had received a rifle from Ranger Proof Arms, the Enhanced ELC (Entry Level Carbine) and thought it fitting that a Ranger should take part in the testing of something termed […]
Walther’s Smallest 5″: PPQ .22LR
Many of us learned to shoot with rifles and pistols chambered in .22lr. Personally I had nearly forgotten the caliber when ammunition got scarce and I sought bigger booms. Ammunition has returned to shelves and one simple truth remains; .22lr is an excellent training caliber. Walther Arms understand this and offers a 5″ PPQ in […]
Smoke Wagon by Taylor’s & Co. Brings Back the Old West
Gun-lovers can breathe easily, at least until 2018. The 2016 elections have eased fears that what we want today may be banned tomorrow (Except behind enemy lines in California). We’ve rushed out and bought our AR-15s, normal-capacity magazines, and loaded up on ammo. At least for a little while we can relax and get back […]
The Truth About Gun Tests: The Accuracy of Modern Firearms
Gun tests are everywhere. It seems that for every make and model there is a report of amazing results, especially if it’s in a pay-for-play magazine or on a pay-for-play YouTube channel. Countering those claims are often dozens of e-experts who claim the most terrible experiences ever not recorded. The truth is they could very likely all […]

First Look: Lionheart Industries Regulus Beta
Continuing our coverage of the new Regulus modular pistol series from Lionheart Industries we now bring you the Beta. A flat back strap stands out most noticeably in comparison to the Alpha, but the frame is also shorter. The video below shows the Beta with a long slide and non-threaded barrel, but Lionheart offers this […]
