Firearm Reviews
The 30X revives and remixes the 3032 series. At its core, the 30X is still a micro-sized DA/SA gun that uses a tip-up barrel design and a straightforward blowback design. Let's check it out.
The FN Reflex: How Does It Compare to the Springfield Hellcat Pro?
Today, we'll examine two contestants from two totally different companies: The Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro and the FN Reflex. How do they compare? Is one better than the other?
Sig Sauer P220 Hunter: A Personal Favorite
Sig Sauer really does make something for everyone, and the P220 Hunter is no exception. The gun has a 5.0-inch, match-grade barrel, so the 10mm chambering produces great ballistics. It has an 8-round capacity, which isn’t ideal but satisfactory. Further, the P220 Hunter is a full-size gun that’s 8.8 inches long, 5.5 inches tall, and 1.5 inches wide. With the right holster and belt combo, it's possible to conceal it. Needless to say, the Sig P220 Hunter does is it all and looks good doing it.
The Ruger 10/22: Still The Most Popular Rimfire Rifle
The Ruger 10/22 is easily one of the most popular rimfire rifles ever produced. Over seven million rifles have been produced since its release, which is astounding. It may not have the highest production numbers of any firearm, but it's pretty far up there. And considering it was introduced in 1964, the fact that its popularity hasn't waned in 60 years is saying quite a bit.
Remington 870 Shotgun: A Gut-Punching Classic
For me, being able to operate the Remington 870 in the dark and reflexively is a huge part of the equation that I happen to love. It's like an old friend, which I find reassuring.
The Ruger Mini-14: Is It A Good SHTF Rifle?
The Ruger Mini-14 is not a sniper rifle, nor was it ever intended to even come close to being one. As the name implies, it's intended for ranchers and farmers to defend their livestock from predators. Or for people to defend against two-legged attackers anywhere. Police and Corrections have also used the Mini-14 over the decades to good effect. The number of these rifles that have been produced tells us that a lot of people use them and that they are popular.
Sig Sauer P365 vs. P365XL: Is There Really A Difference?
Is the Sig Sauer P365XL any better than the standard P365? What are the differences? And are those differences true improvements, or just a way to help customers part with more cash?
Daniel Defense DDM4 A1 RIII: Worth the Price Tag?
Besides the bare bones, the DDM4 also comes with a Daniel Defenses “Grip-N-Rip” charging handle. This is an extended charging handle made from 7075-T6 aluminum with stainless steel roll pins. I like the size of the charging handle because it sticks out just enough to get a good grip on it without catching on things.
IWI Zion-15 Rifle: Quality and Value
The tolerances are tight with no rattling. It was smooth and accurate. The B5 furniture made it comfortable. It’s just a nice firearm. But, as I said before, that’s what we expect from IWI. Between us, we own four IWI pistols, and they all run like champs.
Ruger No. 1 Varminter Rifle: Classic Style
The Ruger No. 1 Varminter rifle is still sought after, but it is very difficult to find these days, much less at an affordable price. This 1976 Bicentennial edition is a stellar example of the craftsmanship of years gone by that we just don't see anymore. The heft of the heavy barrel, along with the walnut stock, is solid and pleasing. These rifles are capable of excellent accuracy with a very strong action. The action works as smoothly as butter, making it a real pleasure and novelty to operate. Overall, it's a unique and interesting rifle!
