My initial impressions article covered the tech specs […]
…with a subcompact? Awhile back, I decided to upgrade the little 3.42″ barrel in my Glock 26. I changed the ammo I was carrying from 124gr to 147gr and the stock barrel didn’t seem to like it as much. Specifically, I have steel in my back yard at 55 and 85 yards and my hit […]

SilencerCo debuted the prototype of the Maxim 9 in September 2015 and the community instantly went nuts over it. A truly innovative design, it is the first practical integrally suppressed handgun. They are currently shipping and the anticipation is over. As it turns out, the anticipation was worth every moment. I got my hands on […]
This pistol is one of my favorite guns in movies, the Beretta 93R AKA the “Auto 9.” History The Beretta 93R was developed in the late 1970s for Italian military and law enforcement use. The 93R is based off of the previously discussed Model 92, but with the added feature of being select fire. The […]

Gun nuts who love the reliability and simplicity of the AK platform have long cherished the Saiga 12 and VEPR 12 shotguns. The reason is simple. A magazine-fed semi-auto shotgun is possibly the most versatile tool one could have in their arsenal. You don’t need to be a fan of YouTuber TaoFledermaus to appreciate the […]
