Popular suppressors for EDC are no longer a niche topic. In 2026, more everyday-carry owners are choosing compact suppressors not for hype, but for safety, control, and smarter training. As laws continue to evolve, suppressors for everyday carry guns are becoming part of a responsible carry mindset—right alongside medical kits, flashlights, and spare magazines. However,...

Is bigger better? Why do you even have to ask? The answer is “yes,” and if you don’t believe me, check out Taurus’ new TH10! Here’s why I’m stoked for both the gun and the general trend back towards the 10mm … and why you should be, too. The 10mm round, first introduced back in…
A couple months after the release of the Smith & Wesson FPC, and surprise! We have Smith & Wesson’s newest rifle release, the Response. Yes, another S&W 9mm pistol-caliber carbine rifle. I have questions, of course. Were there two different engineering groups at S&W competing to get to the market first? Is the Response carbine…
Did you know that Keltec makes two different versions of the P15 pistol? One is a polymer version called the P15, followed up by the P15 Metal. If I were king of the world, I would have named the newer metal version the M15, and kept the P15 for the polymer version, but I’m not…
Everybody Wants a .22 LR These Days … … but not every manufacturer wants to do the work to make one great. So many companies take the easy route and license their designs to second-party manufacturers to create a .22 LR version of their flagship centerfire guns. Trouble is, these “generic” guns are often just…
“If you want a pistol that works every time, get a revolver…they just work!” That statement is as loaded as my moon clip. Yes, revolvers are reliable, but so is a whole list of semi-auto pistols. And a bunch of those semi-auto pistols have advantages over a classic old-school revolver. So why would anyone even…

The mouse gun, the pocket protector, the backup gun, whatever you call it—in the industry, we call them micropistols. While cheaper than the bigger compact pistols like the Glock 42 or Sig 365, one dares not call…
If you were King of the World, what new firearm models would you want to have? Which discontinued firearms would you demand be brought back to production? Join me for this stroll down the imagination of Mr. UnPewFessional and ask … would the XDMAN bring back the Grip Zone? (Short answer: That’s a no for…
Is the Ruger 10/22 only considered a good rifle because it is popular, or is it only considered popular because it’s a good rifle? The answer is muddied water that flows both ways. The 10/22 is arguably not the finest, most accurate, or even the most reliable .22LR ever produced. In fact, from the very…
Early in the year I got hints that Springfield Armory was going to have a great year with a ton of new products. Those hints were not exaggerated. I’ve got my FFL on speed-dial and my wallet wide open. In this episode of “What Did Springfield Armory Release This Time?” we have a little brother…
Yes, the Springfield Echelon is a good pistol. The full-size Echelon is a striker-fired 9mm built around a removable stainless steel chassis, with a deep optics cut that takes most red dots without an adapter plate and magazines of 17 and 20 rounds. Its main drawback is size: this is a duty pistol, not a…
So a firearms instructor walks into a bar … You can kind of think of Rob Pincus, founder of Avidity Arms, as the Elon Musk of the gun industry. After 30 years in the firearms industry, his ideas about what a gun should be are revolutionizing the mainstream. He invested 10 years of blood, sweat,…
Picture It: Sicily, 1922. Whoops, wrong channel. Picture It: Your Bedroom, 2 a.m. You awaken from a deep sleep to interlopers that have broken into your castle.
