After three decades, Kimber is updating its legacy 1911s to be more like its new 2K11s. When Kimber released its 2K11, it marked what many of us in the gun industry called the 1911’s “next generation.” The 2K11 has been so successful in the market that Kimber is taking several of the key features of...

This might just be one of the top-selling pistols of 2024, and it’s only just hitting stores now! Even though the original Smith & Wesson Bodyguard was popular, it seems everyone who owned one had a love-hate relationship with it, including myself. On one side you had to love a pistol that was micro size,…
Mossberg recently announced that it was going to introduce its legendary 590 shotgun series in 20 gauge. The 590 has a storied reputation of robustness and reliability good enough for combat use. But up to this time, Mossberg’s premier pump shot gun was only available in 12 gauge. When it comes to selecting a shotgun,…
An heir is born! The Magnum Research Baby Eagle III has one impressive set of grandparents. From the tried-and-true, combat-proven CZ-75 design, which inspired the Israeli Weapon Industries Jericho 941, which then inspired the all-metal Baby Eagle. The all-metal Baby Eagle engendered the third-generation, polymer-framed Baby Eagle III, the lightest and most refined Baby Eagle…
The Chicago Typewriter’s deathless prose continues to entrance … During America’s Prohibition period, the Thompson submachine gun, famously known as the Tommy Gun, played a significant role as a weapon of choice for both criminals and law enforcement agencies. This period, characterized by the nationwide ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic…
We first got a preview of Springfield Armory’s SA-16 back in January at the SHOT Show, which only industry professionals (and UnPewFessionals) can attend. The prototype was hidden in plain sight hanging on the wall among other current SAINT variants. A small placard with the name SA-16 was the only information available. I had been…
Introducing the ultimate Milwaukee Tools Cordless Hole Puncher! The shooting sports arts are serious business. Even so I truly believe that you can have fun while shooting. Coating/refinishing a firearm to match your personality or quirkiness is a great way to show off your individual style, and is UnPewFessionally approved. Before we move on, understand…
Want to own the last 1911 issued to the U.S. military? Prefer not to pay $10K? Well, do I have an Honest Review for you … Türkiye has transformed itself into a global powerhouse of gun manufacturing in the last decade. This European country is now leading the way with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques that earn…
SIG Sauer just released a product that most of American shooters never asked for and frankly don’t want. The reception online in general has been harsh to say the least. Ridicule has been leveled at the unholy amalgamation of stuff to make a rifle, all the way to the marketing strategy and price point. The…
Double action/single action all-metal pistols are no longer in vogue. Once the Beretta M9 pistol lost the U.S. military contract to a polymer single-action striker-fired pistol, the Tackleberry types moved on to the next high-speed, low-drag gear. I wonder if this is how the hardcore 1911 fanatics felt back in the 1980’s when they were…
Ever since the FBI Hostage Rescue Team began deploying Springfield Armory Professional 1911 pistols in 1998, the gun gained a mythic status among users. Thanks to the strict accuracy and performance requirements imposed on the Professional by FBI standards, it became one of the most sought-after 1911s on the market—in part due to its reputation,…
The Rost Martin RM1C is a compact polymer pistol that is about the size of a Glock 19 for comparison. Big enough to serve as a duty-sized pistol, but small enough to also be easily concealed. What differentiates the RM1c from other “budget” pistols in the same class is that this is from a brand-new…
The original KelTec Sub2000 is the granddaddy of folding backup rifles. Sure, there were others, but the Sub2000 was the alpha wolf of the pack, and it was the one that got to make all the puppies. The Sub2000 pack is a family of polymer-frame pistol-caliber carbines (PCC) that fold neatly in half for a…
