The firearms community recently has been buzzing with discussion about G2 Research’s new 9mm round marketed for self defense: R.I.P. Ammo. Even before getting the round to the range, the R.I.P. projectile makes quite a first impression. This lead-free hollow point is made completely of copper. Each projectile is precisely CNC machined to get its […]
Last year, Springfield Armory debuted a 9mm counterpart as a follow up to their popular single stack .45, the XD-S. This year, at SHOT Show 2014, SA introduced its newest addition to the XD-S lineup: the XD-S 4.0. The XD-S 4.0, like its predecessor, is a 9mm sub-compact pistol. Aside from the four inch barrel, […]
When I visited Nelson Tactical up in Green Bay, one of the requirements was to wear body armor. I didn’t have my own, so they loaned me a vest with trauma plates for the duration of the training event. A little disclaimer for this pic: the photo was taken before making some additional adjustments to […]
There was a Wonder Woman sighting at Springfield Armory’s booth during SHOT Show 2014’s Industry Day at the Range. It would appear she is a fan of the new Springfield Range Officer 1911 in 9mm.
I’ll be blunt: I’d love to own an IWI Tavor in 5.56x45mm. As a bullpup rifle, it fits my reach and shoulders better than most standard configuration carbines.

Here are some of the feature details released during the event: Key Features Mil-spec dimensions and […]
There has been quite a bit of buzz about the new models being introduced from Glock this year at SHOT Show 2014. As you can see in the video above, our editor had the opportunity to briefly evaluate and shoot the new guns. Glock 41 Features As Robbie, a Glock representative, stated in the video, […]
As some of you may know, but for those of you who do not, SHOT Show 2014 is my first SHOT Show. Around this time of year, I am typically at home watching and reading content from SHOT and wishing I was there. Well, this year I have the privilege of being here in person and […]
Each year at the SHOT Show, there are always a few releases that truly surprise me, (A single stack Glock in .380?)Â and conversely, there are offerings that just make sense. This year has its share of both categories for me. Two examples of predictable releases originate from Springfield Armory. Â A new 1911 Range Officer in […]
TrackingPoint (who you may remember from last year with their Precision Guided Rifles) took a moment to talk about their new  TrackingPoint AR-15 with Destinee yesterday at the Shot Show Media Day. Oren, the Marketing Director from TrackingPoint, gave us a preview of their new precision AR-15, the Tracking Point Series 500. This rifle is scheduled […]
