Century Arms PAP M92: A Range Review
Century Arms International (CAI) has been manufacturing firearms from parts kits and components for a number of years. In the beginning, some of their firearms left a little to be desired. However, in recent years, they've stepped up their game and have been producing some very nice guns. I have one of their AK-63D underfolder AKs, and it's a great rifle. So, when my buddy bought one of their PAP M92 AK-47 pistols, I jumped at the chance to help put it through its paces.
6.5 Creedmoor vs. 6mm ARC: Which One’s Better?
Comparing the 6.5 Creedmoor and 6mm ARC is a little like apples and oranges. Both cartridges were designed for superior long-range use, but they were made for different platforms. The 6.5 Creedmoor is made for the AR-10, while the 6mm ARC is meant more for the AR-15. But what if you’re trying to decide between the two? Which cartridge is better and why?

Radical Arms vs ATI OMNI Hybrid AR-15: A Comparison Review
The Radical Arms RF-15 and ATI OMNI Hybrid AR-15 both offer great value at their price point. I would say both guns are worth the price, but the choice of which to by just depends on what you’re looking for.
Surefire Warden Blast Can: Great for the Range
The Surefire Warden is a game-changer when it comes to muzzle brakes. If you don't already have one, it's about time you get one.
The Kahr CW9: An Underrated Concealed Carry Option
My Kahr CW9 came with two magazines, a small plastic box, and a manual. According to the manual, the gun should have a 200-round break-in period. In the modern era, it seems odd that break-in periods still exist for guns. Luckily, mine was used, and someone must've already gone through that break-in period. My gun ran like a well-made watch and I didn't run into any malfunctions to speak of.

Today, we’ll complete the set.
The Rossi Brawler: A Modern Pirate Pistol
Between .410 and .45 Colt, the Rossi Brawler could be a stellar survival gun. The powerful .45 Colt could take deer and even bear with the right load. It wouldn't be my first choice, but it's a choice. The ability to use .410 makes it solid for killing small game at close range, like squirrels and rabbits. It could still be used for that role, but you must have specialized .410 on hand.
