Kahr arms has long been recognized for providing quality American-made handguns in both their Value lines and Premium lines. Â One feature that both lines have been missing and some shooters (your truly included) is the existence of forward cocking serrations. Â That has been remedied with the new S Series and Kahr S9. Â We got the […]
Pistolero in .357 Magnum by Cimarron
We’ve been enjoying trying out some classic “cowboy guns“. Â The trigger pull on a 1873 Colt-style single-action is really something that any trigger puller should experience. Â It’s amazing. Â Short, crisp, and light and in our experience next to no travel. Â It just breaks. Â A true joy for those who like to get worked up over […]
‘Pop’ vs. ‘Click’: Troubleshooting Misfires
One of the most terrifying experiences I’ve had with a firearm happened when I was duck hunting, using 3″ goose loads that had spent a little too much time soaking in my “dry” box. Though they’d gotten a little crusty after a few seasons of being lugged around, the primers still looked passable. After taking […]

American Tactical has just released a civilian-legal version of the infamous MP-40
MagGuts: The True +1 for your Handgun
MagGuts has changed the meaning of “+1” for carry guns. Â Typically when someone refers to +1 capacity they are referencing an additional round in the chamber. Â A full magazine is inserted and presto! Â You’ve just increased your capacity. Â Modern single-stacks like the Walther PPS M2 have options of six, seven, or eight-round magazines. Â The longer […]
Ranger Proof Swag EDGE Trigger Follow-Up
In follow-up to an earlier post we wanted to both finish the story, and provide a correction. Â The EDGE trigger shoe is made and sold by Ranger Proof Swag which is not the same company as the premium-rifle-builder Ranger Proof. Â The companies have a loose affiliation, but are independent of one-another. Â Both Ranger Proof and […]
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 […]
A Bad-Ass .380? Grand Power CP 380
Grand Power makes some incredible handguns. Â Some have referred to them as, “the best handguns you’ve never heard of”. Â I’ve been fortunate to get my hands on several of them including the XCalibur, K100, P11, P1 Ultra, P40, and recently the CP 380. Â Most famous for their rotating barrel and completely ambidextrous controls, the CP […]
Shots Fired: Spike’s Tactical Roadhouse AR-10 ~ 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 […]
Elusive European Engineering: a First Look at the Grand Power Q100
Grand Power is one of those, “Why do I not already own one of these?” companies that has been long known for their excellent triggers. Â Well-known may be relative because generally the American public has been unable to find or see one of these elusive pieces of European engineering. Â Produced with incredible refinement and manufacturing […]
