The iMarksman dry fire training system uses a device that, upon trigger pull, emits a laser. A sensor detects the laser’s position and communicates it to a software program that projects target images. Different software packages allow the trainee to project different scenarios or target styles, from stationary silhouettes (like the one I tested in […]
Like many couples in this modern “information age,” I first met this KVD-15 over the Internet. I received an email from a shop in Georgia called Vidalia Police Supply. They told me they made some lovely little carbines and wanted to send one my way to see what I thought about it. How could I say […]
I had to buy a dress to match! What do you think of the XD-S?
Those who followed some of the releases from SHOT Show 2012 may recall being introduced to the DoubleTap .45. At just over a half inch wide (.665in) the titanium model barely tips the scales at 14oz (unloaded), distinguishing the design as the smallest .45 on the market. However, over the past year, this Derringer .45 […]
Windham Weaponry unveiled a new prototype carbon fiber AR-15 at SHOT Show 2013. Â It caught my eye because I recently assembled my first AR, and one of my primary design goals was to keep it lightweight. As an average sized female, I am not particularly graced with upper body strength. Any extended shooting with a […]

The comfort of the grip is improved with a pair of VZ G10 grip panels. The forged aluminum frame is hard […]
Smith and Wesson has responded to a demand for .22 LR pistol options by releasing a brand new M&P pistol: the S&W M&P22 Compact. Yes, they’ve had the regular full-size M&P22 pistol out for a while. But now, those looking for a frame that’s a bit more snug to tote to the range will have something that […]
Not too long ago, I got my first chance to shoot a .50 cal rifle: a Barrett Model 99. With how large .50 BMG cartridges are, I prepared myself for some pretty substantial recoil. It was there, but not as bad as I had anticipated. What I didn’t anticipate, however, is the concussive force of […]
There is no “silver bullet” for self defense. Carrying a firearm allows you to counter a lethal threat with like force, but not all self defense scenarios are cut-and-dry. What happens when some young drunk, head busting with alcohol-induced bravado, approaches you, threatening to clean your clock out on the street over some imagined or exaggerated slight? […]
If you’re looking for a high quality production sidearm, you may want to look into SIG Sauer’s classic P226. The SIG Sauer P226 Platinum Elite takes the time-tested Navy SEAL sidearm to the next level. The military and law enforcement community are no strangers to the many P226 variants. Indeed, the P226 MK25 (or P226 […]
