The Sub2000 pack is a family of polymer-frame pistol-caliber carbines (PCC) that fold neatly in half for a…
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…
It’s a new year, and that means it’s time for everyone to make resolutions that will definitely change their lives … until they get bored or stressed or what-have-you. The point of a New Year’s Resolution should be a permanent, sustainable change that offers you positive rewards. The problem is that people keep trying to…
First released in 2017 , it’s arguably one of the most popular weaponlights sold. A combination of price, durability, capability, and value are what puts the Streamlight Protac HL-X in contention for best weapon-light. What is it?

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.

In a world where two is one and one is none, I don’t know why you would put all your eggs in one basket … One of the trends I dislike the most among gun owners is consolidating calibers. Those who follow the trend are purposely narrowing their collection of firearms so that they’re all…
The Black Friday weekend is the most popular shopping time of the whole year, so named because this one weekend can move a company from the red (losing money) to the black (profitable). Like capitalism, the modern sporting “Black Rifle” is part of what it means to be an American. Since we have permission to…
Call it kismet, karma, or fate, but when I got an email a couple months back from Henry Holsters asking if I wanted to review its new Springfield Armory Echelon holster, I went ahead and tipped my psychic friend regardless.

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…
Friday the 13th was supposed to be the day of Jihad. Hamas leaders called for a day of reckoning for the whole world as retaliation for the expected Israeli ground attack on the Gaza Strip.
