I’m a shotgun nut, so when I saw the TAC 14 and Shockwave at SHOT last year I was insanely excited. My initial thoughts was “awesome range toy” and the reviews I wrote about the guns reflected that. As I’ve used them more and more I’m beginning to see that the Shockwave and TAC 14 […]
SDS Imports saved us from the import ban on popular Saiga and VEPR 12ga Ak shotguns with their Cheetah 12. The Cheetah 12 has many features that some consider improvements over the traditional AK design and yet not everyone was satisfied. What about the classic AK safety, Scope rail, and most importantly that tang ta-tang […]
Genesis Arms has released their Gen-12 upper and conversion kit for AR-10s. This conversion upper promises to drop on to your AR-10 lower and with Genesis mags you’ve got a 12 Gauge AR! Creating such a conversion is not an easy task. A lot has gone into creating the Genesis 12. Yes there are AR […]

Box Fed shotguns are an absolute blast. While I love the tube for its merits something about a box fed shotgun is just fun. Remington and Mossberg both agreed and released mag fed pump actions, but let’s face it, mag fed should mean semi-auto. Rock Island Armory is certainly taking that route with the RIA […]
Man, there is something sexy about a Marine shotgun. That hard plated chrome or stainless steel finish on a pump action shotgun. Most major companies produce a Marine Magnum style shotgun, and they all look amazing. The Cobra Tac 2 Marine model looks just as amazing as any Remington or Mossberg. In fact, it might […]

The Viper is a great hunting gun with little recoil. Suitable for a range of small game such as birds, rabbit and squirrel. The .410 bore, commonly yet incorrectly called .410 gauge, […]
Most police officers get a fair amount of practice with their sidearms, but they don’t fire a shotgun very often, perhaps once a year in most departments. There is a running debate in law enforcement over when to take the shotgun out of the police car or run without it. Police and civilians need to […]
A shotgun is a key player in many competitive shooting sports—three gun, cowboy action, skeet, clay pigeons, trap—in countless hunting applications, and in home defense scenarios. But for each of these uses, the shotgun must perform differently. In home defense, you want a wide spread of projectiles to maximize the likelihood of a hit at close range. […]
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 […]
