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 […]
After reviewing 80 or so handguns in 2016 I’ve developed some feel for where things might go in 2017. Â Happy New Year means Happy New Gun. Â We’ve seen Smith & Wesson turn the Shield into a classic, and Sig develop the chassis system into a practical application. Â What does the future hold for the now […]
XS is famous for their quick, bright sights. The new F8 Night Sights are more of the same; high-visibility personal defense sights for fast target acquisition in all light conditions. Featuring a figure-eight, inline sight picture for an easy two-point alignment, the F8 sights are designed to instantly increase front sight focus thanks to the […]
The FX-9 from Freedom Ordnance has proven very popular. We were introduced to this affordable pistol-caliber carbine by Classic Firearms. Instead of adapting existing AR receivers to a blow-back action and pistol-sized magazine Freedom Ordnance did it right and built it from the ground up to run pistol calibers. This not only ensures that it […]
Some may call it heresy for a 15-year Army veteran to be an AK fan but I am. I like simplicity and reliability in a fighting rifle. The fewer moving parts the better. As an American I also appreciate the availability and versatility of modern 5.56x45mm loads. Add to that the abundance of magazines and […]
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.Â
DoubleStar caught our attention with their Midnight Dragon. that rifle out of the box is easily one of the most accurate factory rifles I’ve ever encountered. If you’re doubting what a factory rifle can do see our range trip HERE before making any decisions. DoubleStar’s ARC 300 is a rifle of a different flavor. The […]
Impressively American tactical has made a .410 shotgun upper that mates to your standard AR-15 lower!
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. Not long ago they began making their own AR-15 magazines (I’ve seen it personally, these are not simple rebrands), and now they offer […]
While trying to decide between the Bore Snake and Ripcord I found they each have their merits and drawbacks. Those issues seem to have been addressed and bested by the new Bore Boss.
