Century Arms has certainly kept us busy with the TP9 line of handguns. These guns are made by respected Canik and borrow in design from Walther. Like the CZ-inspired designs imported by TriStar Arms, Canik’s TP9 series carefully features just enough differences to keep them from being a complete clone. While some may scoff this […]
The good news? U.S. Marines have adopted the Magpul PMAG M3, a great choice. The bad news? The standard issue Eagle magazine pouches were designed to hold two aluminum magazines. The PMAGs go in, but they won’t come out easily. The Marines have a solution which can help with any gear and any pouch. Chief […]
After 5000 rounds, my VP9 has championed on and has maintained as a solid and reliable pistol that hasn’t ceased to impress. Though not typically thought of as a duty pistol, the VP9 holds a reputation for being sturdy and hard to beat. From my experience, this pistol can be shot without cleaning, shot until its […]
AR-10s seem to be on the rise. My theory is that everyone already has an AR-15 (or three) and are looking for something a little different. .308 ammunition is plentiful, and if you shop smartly can be found for under $0.50 per round. The extra whallop, increased hunting potential, and tribute to Eugene Stoner’s original […]

Over the last few years, AR-style rifles chambered in 7.62 mm/.308 Win., have grown in popularity with various shooting communities. In fact, AR-10 rifles are one of the fastest growing segments in shooting sports, especially among those who build personal AR platforms. Unfortunately, while most AR-10 rifles are known for rugged reliability, they are also […]
Watch a group of shooters for a time, and you will likely see a range of problems with trigger mechanics. Â Some shooters “slap” the trigger, with the finger coming off and then slapping into the face of the trigger. Â Others might squeeze too tightly. In all cases, accuracy suffers–usually because the rifle is being jerked […]
The ring and dance of gong targets is a rewarding joy. Useful for simply adding some fun or to confirm hits at distance. Cable or rope tends to fray and fall apart, weak chain can’t take the shock loading and snaps. Complete Target Solutions (CTS) has once again shown how they got their name. Gong […]
The Star model BM Spanish service pistol was an excellent firearm for its time. The pistol saw service with the Spanish military and police but also was used by the South African Defense Forces and found its way into the Rhodesian bush war. Although it looks strikingly similar to the 1911, the Star BM is […]
