First Look: New Walther CCP M2
When Walther released the original CCP it was met with much anticipation. Straight blowback 9mm is too much to handle, but Walther’s piston system known as “softcoil” offered to reduce recoil below standard Browning systems. The “softcoil” also applied to the recoil spring which didn’t need to be as heavy and so the gun is […]
MagPul’s Glock Magazine Well: Deal or Gimmick?
MagPul has become a true giant. Beginning with a simple plastic adaptation of a trick war-fighters were doing to overcome shortcomings in gear MagPul now makes everything from firearms accessories to clothing. Personally I’ve been disappointed with apparent abuse of their industrial might with the release of products that couldn’t have gone through any legitimate […]

Shots Fired: Spike’s Tactical Roadhouse AR-10: GBguns Video
Not long ago we brought you an up-close look at the Roadhouse AR-10 in .308 from Spike’s Tactical. Ambidextrous controls and no detail overlooked describes this battle tank of a rifle. On a bitter-cold morning with sleet accenting the weather I hit the range for testing. Does the cold impact ammunition performance? Yes. Does the […]
Shots Fired: Thureon Defense 9mm Carbine
Thureon Defense builds a variety of pistol-caliber carbines in your choice of caliber (including 10mm!) and magazine compatibility. Earlier we gave you our first look at one in 9mm that feeds from Glock magazines. Unlike most other pistol-caliber carbines Thureon builds them from the ground up for pistol calibers. This makes for a receiver that […]
Lightning-Fast Cleaning Niebling BoreBlitz

MagGuts: The True +1 for your Handgun
MagGuts has changed the meaning of “+1” for carry guns. Typically when someone refers to +1 capacity they are referencing an additional round in the chamber. A full magazine is inserted and presto! You’ve just increased your capacity. Modern single-stacks like the Walther PPS M2 have options of six, seven, or eight-round magazines. The longer […]
