It’s been a minute since Beretta gave the world a new submachine gun. Here in the U.S., SMGs are mostly something for the tactical fanboy crowd, the kind of guys who build AR pistols, slap suppressors on anything with a barrel, and spend way too much time arguing about what … Read More
I get a lot of press releases in my inbox. Most of them are a complete snooze fest — some company breathlessly announcing a holster that now fits one more Glock model, like that’s going to shake the industry to its core. If you want to see my eyes glaze … Read More
When I picked up the soft case, I genuinely thought Wilson Combat had shipped me an empty one. That’s how absurdly light this rifle is.

As someone who’s been writing about guns longer than I can remember, I get a fair number of questions from fellow seasoned shooters about firearms that won’t wreak havoc on arthritic hands. For a lot of folks, racking a stiff slide is about as fun as trying to open a … Read More
