In the world of cinema, few dates hold as much significance as the 4th of July. This patriotic holiday not only celebrates the country’s independence, but also serves as the backdrop for the release of blockbuster movies, launching some of the most iconic films in cinematic history. Our must-watch list includes movies that incorporate guns,…
The Vortex Defender-XL is the largest red dot in the Defender line, with a 25.5 × 23.3 mm window against the Defender-ST’s 23 × 20 mm. The XL comes with a 5 or 8 MOA dot and uses the same Deltapoint Pro footprint as the ST, so either one fits the same slide cut. Pick…
Olight is relatively new flashlight company that was founded not that long ago back in 2007. Since then, Olight has become a leading flashlight and outdoor lighting brand known for its innovative designs and high-quality products. The company has expanded its product line to include not just flashlights, but also headlamps, bike lights, weapon lights,…
A flashlight is such an important tool that, just like your firearm, needs to be on your everyday carry loadout the same as your gun, regardless of the current lighting conditions. Enter the Surefire Stiletto, the thin everyday carry flashlight that just might change your mind about always having a light. What is it? Think…
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…
Lead is a big Pb and NOPE sandwich for shooters. Lead is one heavy metal. I don’t just mean that it’s high-density–although it is quite heavy in that way. I mean that elemental lead (Pb) is classified as a “heavy metal,” meaning that it’s toxic to animals at low concentrations. If you’re a true crime…
It’s fun to joke about how Dillinger died of “lead poisoning,” but lead exposure is no joke. Lead poisoning occurs when lead builds up in the body, often over a period of months or years. It can be particularly harmful to children, causing developmental delays, learning difficulties, and a range of other health issues. Lead…
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.

How often have you read breathless news headlines about some gun owner or another who died and left behind an “arsenal” of guns and ammunition? Do you ever skim down to the last paragraph to see how much stuff the guy had, and whether your own collection would scare the journalist more? You should; it’s…
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.
