Spent a little time with both the 308 and 6.5 RPR lately; here are my impressions: Pros: -Loaded with features for the price point which is around $1200-1300 -has a lot of aftermarket support currently -CHF 4140 barrel threaded for suppressors or muzzle devices -ergonomic controls (grip...

Quick and dirty of the G37 is that it's roughly the size of a Glock 17/22 but fires the 45 Glock Automatic Pistol (GAP) round. The round was designed to give similar terminal ballistics to the 45ACP but in a smaller frame and, clearly, never really caught on. That doesn't make the pistol per...

One thing anyone who has been issued a M9 in the military and purchased one personally knows is that they don't seem like the same weapon. Sure the controls are the same but the feel, and often the performance, of the gun can be very different. I get a lot of questions related to this as I...

Picked up this rifle a little over a year ago. I hadn't seen a lot of reviews of it but I attribute that to it being "just" a basic mil-spec rifle. But, the specs are the best thing about this rifle in my opinion. Spikes lists every single spec about the rifle that you can think of over on...

Basic specs: Output: 320 lumens Runtime: 2.5 hours Length: 5.20' Bezel Diameter: 1.25'' Weight w/Batteries: 4.4oz The big appeal for most folks is the price point matched with Surefire's reputation for durability. Although it's not rated by Surefire as a weaponlight, many here (including...

What each rifle has going for it: AK-47s: -Ammo is everywhere -Mags are cheap and everywhere -Quality guns are generally cheaper AK-74s: -inherently more accurate -against human sized creatures, terminal effectiveness is generally better -lower recoil; faster follow up shots In detail...

I've always been a fan of ACOGs since I first picked one up. They have great glass, usable reticles, and are built like tanks. One thing that always made me wonder though is why people seem to gravitate to the 4x or 3.5x models. Not that there's anything wrong with those (in fact, there's...

My wife gave me the Wilson Combat CQB LE about a year ago and I've been doing my best to get some use out of it since. Like most WC guns, the options for customization are pretty extensive but here are some of the features of the base gun: -Full-Size Stainless Steel Frame -Integral Light...

Finished up the review of my Henry 44 Mag Big Boy Carbine (16'' vs standard 20'' barrel). Some of the rifle's features: -octagonal barrel -very nice brass receiver/trimmings -American walnut furniture -smooth action -shoots 44 Mag and 44 special (more on this in the video) -Drilled/tapped...

Not a ton of reviews on these guns out there so I figured I'd do my part to change that Pros: Drilled and tapped receiver Ghost ring sights (maybe a con for some) Easily adjustable stock if you have that model Action is as smooth as some high end custom shotguns I've used before Very durable...

I've had the DDM4v7 for a while and it's been a great rifle. It's been 100% reliable with any ammo I've fed it to date but a few months back I went to install the Magpul K2+ grip on it only to find out the grip screw was bound into the lower receiver. Well, I called DD and their CS was great...

The Zastava M57s are coming to market below $250 several places and I've had mine for a while so I figured I'd write up a review for those considering one... Pros: -It's been 100% reliable so far -Newly built guns; not surplus -Price -M57 Tok variants have 9x round mags vs the standard 8...

This rifle's been on sale lately for around $800 so I figured it was a good time to finish up my review. Here goes... Pros: -MPC 158C bolt, FA profile 8620 CL carrier with great staking -Mil spec parts allow for aftermarket accessories -Lightweight 4150 CL 1 in 7 barrel is more "handy" for...

Pros: -100% reliable to date with a variety of ammo/mag combinations -Some folks will prefer the ergos vs. a standard AK/AKM -Accurate (groups in the video below) for a 7.62x39 rifle -Large paddle mag release -Steel bar in the lower reciever will reduce the likelyhood of receiver damage from...

The Canik TP9SA is the second firearm in the "TP" series from Canik to hit US shores. The original was largely based on the Walther P99 series of firearms but Canik listened to user feedback and redesigned a lot of features on the gun for the current offering. Here's what I've found with it so...

Pros: -The friction lock springs keep it tight on the extension -Collapses fully -Compatible with ASAP and QD end plates -Dual QD sling points and 2x traditional sling attachment points -Nice angle on the rubber butt pad for use with armor/gear Cons: -Maybe lack of battery storage? I really...

The Canik TP-9 is imported from Turkey by Century International Arms and comes to market somewhere between $300-350. That alone is enough to get the attention of many but when I heard the specs of the pistol it really caught my eye so I picked one up. Here’s what we found: Reliability For...

Got to spend some trigger time with the new VP9 and here's what I've found: Pros: -100% reliable with anything from Russian stuff to quality JHPs -Excellent trigger. Broke right at 5 but the crispness made it feel like less. Very smooth pull all the way through -"Hostile Environment"...

Pros: -Barrel is chrome lined. It's 4140 steel and 1 in 10'' twist as well. -Laminate wood looks great -Magwell has very little wobble with a wide variety of mags -Made in the USA -Reliable. 1 malfunction in a little over 800 rounds (was the 2nd round fired, after that smooth sailing since)...
