The Regent SP1 from LKCI, LLC is a pistol that fills a unique position in anyone’s armory. Full-sized, ported barrel, and built like a tank. LKCI, LLC. is a company that I’ve had my eye on for a while. My interest peaked when they were exploring bringing in the N.B. Inat pistols from Serbia. For […]
LKCI, LLC brings us the Regent BR9 for those who love history, but live on a working-man’s budget. The Browning High Power has been in military service since 1935 and was produced for more than 80 years. The name comes from the increased capacity of 13 rounds, nearly doubling what most pistols carried at the […]
Many shooters of modern sporting rifles (MSRs) seem to get confused and throw a fit when handed an AK. Other complaints aside a predominant whine is that the charging handle is on the right side. The domestic AR’s charging handle is on the left and so some in the “tacticool” arena and others less-informed insist […]
Fortunately body armor has greatly evolved in recent years. The flak vest is gone and although we’ll never have a cozy place to warn our hands in modern armor, survive-ability rates and comfort have gone way up. Some of the newest technologies have come from smaller companies who were free of government contracts to develop […]
“El Malo” means “The Bad One” in Spanish, but this classic pistol is nothing but good. Cimarron imports 1873 Colt reproductions from Italy and includes a few twists to make them more fun. Models include several movie guns. Ever envy Doc Holiday’s pistol or shotgun? Cimarron makes one complete with his name engraved. “El Malo” […]
Some may call it heresy for a 15-year Army veteran to be an AK fan but I am. I like simplicity and reliability in a fighting rifle. The fewer moving parts the better. As an American I also appreciate the availability and versatility of modern 5.56x45mm loads. Add to that the abundance of magazines and […]
AR-15s have been described as the “barbie dolls for men”. I prefer to look at them as Legos with which we can build any rifle, pistol, or Short-Barreled Rifle style we want from a $400 plinker, to $3,000 safe queens. The available mix of after-market and factory parts is bewildering and offers more choice than […]
Century Arms now offers nine variants of the Canik TP9 series. The TP9 SA Mod 2 offers a few small tune-ups from the original. The single-action trigger has been improved and top of the slide flattened. These updates bring the gun more in line with the other TP9 models. If you’re not familiar with the […]
Ammo Squared has been a staple in my shooting budget for more than a year. If you’re familiar with any of the GBGuns testing you know that ammo variety can be key to finding what works best in each rifle or handgun. From the , “What’s for Dinner?” test to rifle grouping it’s important to […]
In the never-ending search for slightly more accuracy we’ve all heard that X brand is better than Y brand, or to only use X-weight bullets with Y twist rate. I had always believed that until a recent test with the Ranger Proof rifle when we saw great accuracy with projectiles that traditional logic would argue […]
