Review: Remington R1 Enhanced Double Stack
While double stack 1911s aren't for everyone, Remington's R1 Enhanced double stack in .45 ACP is worth taking a second look at if you're in the market for a quality double stack 1911.
Review: ATN ThOR 4 640 2.5-25X
Thermal optics have come a long way and ATN has been a huge part of making them affordable. Here's a look at the ATN ThOR 4 640, a relatively affordable, but well-performing thermal scope.
The .223 Remington as a Deer Cartridge: An Unscientific Test
Depending on who you ask, 223 Remington is viewed a deer cartridge. Others say differently. Somewhat scientifically, lets see where it falls for performance.
The Lipsey’s Exclusive S&W 432 Ultimate Carry and the Case for the .32 Revolver
Smith & Wesson and Lipsey's Distributors teamed up to release the new S&W 432 Ultimate Carry. As a fan of the .32, the new 432 UC gave me a chance to revisit an old friend in a new platform to see if the round and revolver make the mark.
Walther Q5 Match Review: Utilitarian Race Gun
The Walther Q5 Match checks all the boxes for me. It’s accurate, comfortable, consistent, and above all else, reliable. The pistol performed flawlessly and looks good to boot. If you’re in the market for an entry-level race gun or utilitarian “do-all” gun, give the Q5 Match a shot.
The Renegauge vs The 940 Tactical: Shotgun Shootout
I love shotguns. They are an absolute blast (pun intended). Shotguns like the A300 Ultima Patrol, the Mossberg 940 Tactical, and the often underrated Savage Renegauge are always fan favorites. Today, we are comparing the two American options that have hit the market: the Renengauge Security and the Mossberg 940 Tactical.
The Beretta 950BS .22 Short: An Italian Mouse Gun
The Beretta 950BS (the Minx) is a downright fun little gun. It was as much fun as I expected it to be. I was surprised by its reliability mostly. A gun isn't fun if it doesn't go bang when you press the trigger. While it's named the Minx, it's really more of the kitten. Of all the Beretta tip-ups I have, this is my favorite so far.
This Old Gun: Smith & Wesson 1903 Hand Ejector Fifth Change
The Smith & Wesson 1903 Hand Ejector Fifth Change isn't the first modern revolver. However, it is a direct descendant of one of the first modern revolvers. Let's take a look.
The Best Polymer Frame DA/SA Pistols
The Glock-style striker-fired handgun trigger mechanism is like a zombie. It’s slowly taking over. Companies that made their name on hammer-fired guns are moving to the partially cocked striker-fired options. CZ, FN, and HK moved away from the DA/SA action, or at least partially moved away from the DA/SA gun. Luckily, some of us holdouts are more than willing to try our best to keep the DA/SA, polymer frame world alive. Do you have a favorite polymer frame, DA/SA gun?
The No.4 MK I Lee-Enfield: A Trip To The Range
From 1895 to 1957, the Lee-Enfield was the standard rifle of the British army. It played a huge role as the main battle rifle in World Wars I and II. It even served in Korea.
