Kahr arms has long been recognized for providing quality American-made handguns in both their Value lines and Premium lines. One feature that both lines have been missing and some shooters (your truly included) is the existence of forward cocking serrations. That has been remedied with the new S Series and Kahr S9. We got the […]
Ultimate Bullpup? The Jard J68 Pistol-Caliber Carbine
Earlier we gave you a first look at the new Jard J68 in 9mm. Since then a few things have come to light that you should know before watching the video below. Jard Inc makes nearly everything in house, including their barrels. The exterior design was inspired by the need for a true “truck gun” […]
Watch: First Look Caracal Limited Edition Enhanced Model F
As a purveyor of gun-things-different the Caracal pistol had my attention at SHOT 2016. What I didn’t know was that the Caracal Model F had actually been in development since 2002, and had already made a brief appearance in the United States while I was over in Afghanistan (2005).

Watch Jard J68 9mm: Pistol Caliber Carbine = Fun

Watch: Smith & Wesson M&P .380 Shield EZ First Look
Smith & Wesson has been updating and upgrading their lineup over the last year. The M&P 2.0 series quieted previous complaints about texture and trigger. We showed you the new Shield 2.0 in November. The Bodyguard hadn’t been updated and fans of Browning’s .380 ACP began to feel left out. Smith & Wesson heard those […]
“You Like Guns That Nobody Else Wants”
Just Because a Gun is in a Magazine Doesn’t Mean it’s the Right One For You I like to cover a lot of guns that aren’t seen in grocery-store magazines, and for a couple of reasons. First, common guns bore me. If I can go to three gun shops and see the same firearm at the […]

During my 1,900 hours as a defensive shooting instructor one of the dominating questions I was asked was about holster selection. In my experience this is the hardest one to answer. I have good news and bad new for you: The perfect holster match for your body shape, selected firearm, carry position, and attire exists. […]
