Not long ago we brought you a first look at the FX-9 from Freedom Ordnance. This 9mm, Glock-magazine fed, pistol-caliber carbine is made from a billet upper and lower and ran anything we could fit in the magazine. Properly scaled for 9mm, the receivers are a touch smaller than your standard AR-15. When Freedom Ordnance […]
There was a time in the not so recent past that .22 LR ammunition was worth its weight in gold if you could find it. Hoarders and old men claiming that the apocalypse and gun confiscation was around the corner drove the popular plinking round into hiding. Now that the hysteria and paranoia has subsided […]

A common tool in these lone wolf style attacks unfortunately are firearms, this leaves us […]

Toss a can on it and some subsonic ammunition and it gets even quieter. One drawback however is the blow-back operating system. […]
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 […]
Deals are out there and we’ve got a buyer’s guide for you! You’ve seen our reviews on Grand Power, Bersa, and Metro Arms handguns. We’ve been impressed with every one of them so far. Aside from being excellent guns another thing they have in common is that they all come from Eagle Imports. If you […]
