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…
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? The specific version reviewed: Streamlight 88071 Protac Rail Mount HL-X Long Gun Light. Programable LED flashlight 1000 Lumens…
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…
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. It was perfect timing as I had an Echelon for review, and I needed something…
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…
Viridian Weapon Technology has a great reputation in the 2A community. Mainly known for its green weapon lasers, in the last couple years it has expanded into the electronic sight market. But Viridian, being Viridian, offers its optics with a twist: In a crowded sea of red dots, Viridian continues to push the virtues of…
Located in Easthampton, Massachusetts, Yankee Hill Machine is a third-generation family-owned company founded in 1951. Not only do they manufacture their own AR-15s, they also make the accessories to outfit the guns. On top of that they have a highly regarded suppressor lineup with a reputation for being affordable, but with some of the highest…
If the .22WMR is the classic Mighty Mouse magnum, the S&W M&P .22 Magnum pistol is the mousetrap that puts it in its place. As a full-sized pistol with a human-sized grip that weighs about the same as an empty Glock 19, the Smith makes the next closest competitor in its class, the Keltec PMR30,…
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…
Bear & Son cutlery has been known for making solid edge-holding knives for quite some time now. While they deliver everything that you would expect in a quality blade, their products typically come at a price. Not wholly numb to this, the company has set out to add a few more budget-friendly offerings to the…
While we spend plenty of time and effort preparing for two-legged threats, we have to ask ourselves, are we prepared for larger four-legged beasts? Truth be told, I feel that I am more likely to have an encounter with an angry black bear or mountain lion than I am a home invasion, so I like…
