Ruger’s New Lefty 10/22 Rifle: Review

I’ve wanted to fall head-over-heels in love with Ruger’s 10/22 for as long as I can remember. It’s one of the best-shooting, most reliable little rimfire rifles in history. It’s as modular as a box of Legos and just about as bulletproof as a roofing nail. But no matter how … Read More

Springfield Hellion Bullpup: Review

You know, for most of my life, “short” hasn’t exactly screamed “good.” I’m 5’7” on a tall day if I stand just right. Heck, Napoleon himself had a couple inches on me, and we all know how that turned out. My dad’s family didn’t exactly win the genetic lottery in … Read More

Springfield Kuna 9mm: Review

There are times in the gun world when something shows up that makes you stop and go, “Well now, that’s interesting.” Springfield Armory just had one of those moments with the release of the Kuna 9mm. It’s not hype. It’s not a gimmick. It’s a compact, roller-delayed personal defense weapon … Read More

Smith & Wesson 10mm Folding Carbine: Review

Smith & Wesson isn’t new to the pistol-caliber carbine (PCC) rodeo—but when they showed up with a folding version back in February 2023 chambered in 9mm, folks noticed. Why? Because it worked. It was accurate, reliable, and folded in half like a tactical taco. Toss in a 17-round mag and … Read More

Review: Shadow Systems MR920 9mm Pistol

It’s the same predictable rodeo every time some poor soul posts a picture of a new GLOCK on the internet. Within five minutes, the comment section turns into a virtual Home Depot checkout line for aftermarket upgrades. “You gotta get new sights, bro.” “Stipple that grip or it’s useless.” “Extended … Read More

Review: North American Arms Pug-T Mini Revolver

By now, you’ve probably heard it more times than Biden’s told people he was raised Puerto Rican: “The best gun is the one you have on you.” Jeff Cooper—God bless that man’s soul—put it best when he said, “The first rule of gunfighting is… have a gun.” Simple, brilliant, and … Read More

S&W M&P .22 Magnum: Review

Let’s get this out of the way right now: the Smith & Wesson M&P .22 Magnum isn’t just another half-baked rimfire pistol hoping to win your affection with a flashy name and a cheap price tag. No, this thing actually works—and in the world of .22 Mag self-loading pistols, that’s … Read More

Smith & Wesson M&P Performance Center SPEC: Review

Let’s just admit it—polymer striker-fired pistols have become the fast food of the handgun world. Convenient, affordable, and usually satisfying. But every now and then, you want something with a little more… substance. Like an actual meal. Enter the Smith & Wesson M&P Performance Center SPEC, a full-metal 9mm beast … Read More

Springfield Armory XDM Elite: Review

I’ve been circling the 10mm wagon for a while now. Not in a “Let me drop everything and go buy one” way, but more of a “This might be a good idea if I ever get around to it” way. Living out here in the woods, you never know what … Read More

Ruger American Gen II Ranch Rifle: Review

When I was 12, my first hunting rifle was my grandfather’s Winchester 94 in .32 Special. A beautiful gun, reliable as they come, but eventually, my dad decided I needed something with a little more oomph, so he got me a Ruger Model 77 in .30-06. That rifle has been … Read More
