Some compact carbines feel fast but flimsy. The Caracal CMP9 feels fast and built like a duty gun. After running this platform through obstacles, movement drills, and more than 500 rounds of mixed ammunition, our four‑person test team came away with a clear verdict: the CMP9 is one of the most solid, reliable, and confidence‑building […]
The modern rifle optic market is crowded, but every so often a newcomer shows up with the right blend of engineering, practicality, and shooter‑focused design. The Osight R is exactly that optic—purpose‑built for close‑to‑mid‑range rifle applications and engineered to deliver speed, clarity, and reliability when the stakes are high. At its core, the Osight R […]
Since moving to NW Florida, I’ve been a fan of off-body carry when it comes to my EDC. It offers many advantages, most of which are connected in some way to the wonderful humidity and weather we have here. In the last year, I’ve also added a new aspect of life, motorcycle riding, which brings […]
Some time back I wrote an article about the Caracal Enhanced F, a 9mm pistol that was turning heads with its strength and reliability. Now I want to look at what Caracal is doing today, the CMP9 & CMP9K: Hard-use platforms built for real work. Some guns show up looking tactical. The CMP9 and CMP9K […]

The Beretta-licensed 92A1 CO₂ BB pistol delivers authentic weight, blowback action, and a full-auto switch that turns training into pure grin-inducing firepower.
Every rifle makes a snap when fired, but some rifles make history with the same action. The M24 does both, but mostly the latter. In a world gone mad with high-rate-of-fire platforms and tactical gear that looks better on Instagram than it performs in the field, the M24 bolt-action rifle remains a stoic monument to […]
The Škorpion freakin’ ROCKS (and rolls)!!!Those of y’all dear readers who remember 5 May 2025 article titled “Firing the Full-Auto Steyr AUG” will recall that I kvetched about that rifle having “that frickin’ progressive trigger made the Steyr *THE* most difficult of the bunch to keep my shots on target, even at a measly 7 […]
The Swiss-German firm SIG Sauer (“SIG” as in Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft, e.g. “Swiss Industrial Company”) is one of the world’s most venerable and respected gunmakers, dating back to 1853, and accordingly, has won many law enforcement and military contracts around the world in its proud history, including with the U.S. Armed Forces and many civilian […]
