Professional Gear Reviews
Add-on magwells have been something I’ve avoided for years. I simply didn’t see the expense and reduction in conceal-ability to be better than simply training more to not need a funnel on the bottom of my gun. That changed with the release of L2D Combat’s Lo-Pro Magwell. Unlike most other magwells for Glock, the Lo-Pro […]
After reviewing 80 or so handguns in 2016 I’ve developed some feel for where things might go in 2017. Happy New Year means Happy New Gun. We’ve seen Smith & Wesson turn the Shield into a classic, and Sig develop the chassis system into a practical application. What does the future hold for the now […]
In fact the Kahr K9 is nearly half an inch shorter in overall length than the popular Glock 43 and yet the barrel is almost 2/10″ longer! This adds valuable velocity which translates to increased terminal performance.
Brownell’s has long been a friend of the gun builder. From their beginning as a parts and tool supply to their growth into their current status as the Candyland for gun lovers.

On the range the Canik TP9 DA from Century Arms proved to be omnivorous and accurate.
After a long wait the Llama Micromax is finally here and in our hands. If you’re not sure if you’ve heard of Llama before it’s because you have and you haven’t. The original company closed down some time ago but their ideas are now living on through the craftsmen of Metro Arms and brought to […]
After more than a decade Smith & Wesson has released the 2.0 of their M&P line. While most of the differences suggest a 1.5 or 1.7, the most exciting part of the launch is the new compact model. The sub-compact Shield and full-size models were aimed at the brand’s namesake, Military and Police, but the […]
The Llama MicroMax offers 1911 styling in a compact size scaled for the .380acp cartridge. In this review we take it to the range and try a variety of loads.
Smith & Wesson has released their Shield 2.0. Those who have been gun-buyers for a while saw the writing on the wall. When the rebates and sales started there had to be something new in the works. The M&P 2.0 series came out and we waited. Finally the Shield 2.0 is out. Is it any […]
