Savage Axis 2 in .270: A Perfect Hunting Rifle
I like the rifle and its ergonomics, price point, and performance. I don’t like the optic, though. I would purchase the Savage Axis 2 without the optic. Save a little extra money and buy your own optic. If you do that, the price savings and the 75-dollar rebate should allow you to get a better optic than the Bushnell Banner 3-9X. The Savage Axis 2 is a mix of clearly budget decisions, like the action, with some surprisingly nice features, like the stock. For the price point, I think you are getting a solid rifle that deserves a better optic.
The Cimmarron 1887 Terminator: The Cowboy Shotgun Rides Again
The Cimarron 1887 Terminator is a fun gun for me. It's an experience your typical pump gun doesn't deliver. Cimarron has made owning an 1887 affordable and provided a reliable, fun-to-shoot shotgun.
The Swampfox Warhorse LPVO: The Best Beginner LPVO
The Swampfox Warhorse, Justice, and Hostile Engagement setup delivers an excellent LPVO setup. It's a bit hefty at two pounds altogether, but very capable. If you're like me and are curious about LPVOs, it's a great way to dip your toe into the world. You're getting a high-quality setup that won't completely drain your wallet. The Warhorse might not satisfy optics snobs, but for the everyday user, it's a fantastic value and a very capable option.
The Magnum Legend: Ruger Super Redhawk
The Ruger Super Redhawk is a well-made, precise, and reliable gun. It’s well worth adding one to your collection if you’re a hunter. And if you don’t hunt, maybe it’s time you started.
IWI Galil Ace Pistol: Range Review of a Tiny Titan
IWI has a real winner with the Galil Ace. It's reliable with a variety of ammo, accurate out to 100 yards and probably well beyond, and shoots smoothly with very little recoil.

TP9 SF: The Unsung Hero of the Canik Brand
Turkish gun maker Canik has become known in recent years for affordable, reliable, and stylish pistols. Want a dramatic cerakote design that looks custom but comes right out of the box? They have it. Want a threaded barrel and/or integral compensator but only have $550 to spend? They’ve got you covered. Their TP9 and Mete series pistols, primarily striker-fired guns in 9mm chambering, have exploded in popularity. But it’s one of their earlier models that makes my day: the TP9 SF.
The New Beretta Px4 Storm G-SD: A Range Review
The Beretta Px4 Storm is something of a sleeper gun. It is neither obscure nor ubiquitous, but it is a well-appointed and high-quality pistol designed to bridge the gap between lighter polymer-framed pistols and the traditional and trusted double-action hammer-fired handguns that had made Beretta into a worldwide entity. Since coming onto the scene in […]
The Glock 19 Gen 3 vs. Gen 5 Comparison: Are They Really Any Different?
Is one generation of the Glock 19 drastically superior to the other? I would say no. However, the Gen 5 does have some attractive features that the Gen 3 does not. If I were restricted to using a Gen 3 Glock 19, would I feel disadvantaged? Not at all. While there might be more accurate pistols out there, the Glock's attributes, taken as a whole, make it a superior pistol.

The Streamlight PROTAC HL 6 is easy to use and built to last for years. If you need a new light, I recommend checking this one out. It’s perfect for any dark occasion.
