PSA bought Nodak Spud (makers of AK receivers and retro AR lowers), and the former owner of Nodak Spud is now the CEO of H&R. He’s an expert in retro…

Speaking as someone who grew up in Washington State and is very pleased to have gotten out, I’d advise current residents to strongly consider the same.

This isn’t a striker-fired gun. The FN Reflex XL MRD is an internal hammer-fired single-action-only pistol which means it has a trigger that’s far better than any striker-fired pistol you’re…

The TW19 is a compact frame, with a compact size slide. The TW19X is a full size frame with a compact slide. The TW17 is a full sized frame with…

For the trip out to SHOT Show I opted for the grownup approach of actually checking a bag. I usually try to skate by with just a carry-on. It’s the…

The Dec. 13 shooting of motorist Jason Arrington with his own gun by Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office officer Mindy Cardwell is, quite simply, one of the dumbest things we’ve seen a…

With a double-stack 1911 you get far greater capacity and, for me, a better feel in your hands. There’s just something about a beautiful double-stack, and Kimber figured that out…

With a threaded barrel (except for the 410 bore), lots of Picatinny rail space, and M-LOK slots on the sides, the Big Badger is everything you need in a single-shot…

The Pelican Reset case organizing system is deceptively simple. It’s a field of high density foam pegs that are set into a plastic frame that holds them in place.
