After Candy expressed her disappointment on the Springfield Hellcat, I thought it would be a good idea to form my own opinion. Not that I doubted Candy as she is an accomplished shooter and knows her way around a firearm, but I wanted to spend some time with the pistol myself. The flush-fit double stack […]
2021 Colt Anaconda. In 2017 Colt debuted the .38 Special Colt Cobra at Gunsite; this was Colt’s initial effort to wade back into double-action revolvers. I remember talking to my friends at Colt and asking them about other double-action revolvers that were slated for reintroduction to the market. I was told the Cobra was engineered to […]
It is no secret I like Hi-Point firearms, and for good reason. My reviews Hi-Point 1095 TS 10mm carbine review Hi-Point 995 TS carbine with RedBall magazine Hi-Point 3895 .380 Carbine review Hi-Point .45 JHP pistol and 4595 carbine review My first Hi-Point review, the C9 and 995 TS carbine so you can see I […]
It was several months ago the Kel-Tec P17 came in for review. It has standard ambidextrous magazine release and safety, though the magazine release is a lever at the rear of the trigger guard you push down instead of a button. The receiver is polymer, with just the rear and top of the slide being […]
I have reviewed several Riton optics in the past, so when the opportunity to look over the Riton X3 Conquer 6-24×50 FFP rifle scope, I had an idea of what to expect. The X3 Conquer features Riton R3 Zero Stop turrets. They allow you to set the turrets to zero once you have zeroed your […]
A couple of months ago, the Standard Arms DP-12 double barrel pump shotgun showed up for a review. It is an interesting shotgun, to be sure. It is worth noting the QR code on the stock, allows you to scan it and get the instruction manual on demand. Being a double-barrel pump shotgun, it loads […]
A few months ago a friend of mine, retired law enforcement and a proper gun guy, went to work with Powertac. He asked if he could send me a Warrior G4 tactical flashlight to look over. I have shot with this guy, and I know he knows his stuff, so I accepted. The Warrior was […]
Rock Island Armory TAC Standard FS in .45 Automatic arrived about three and a half months ago for review. We put about 350 various rounds downrange with no pistol failures and it was proving to be a solid pistol. Way back in 2014 I reviewed the RIA 9mm TAC 1911. You can read that […]
SHOT show 2019 I was fortunate enough to meet the crowd from Shadow Systems and get a good look at the then new MR 920, replacing the previous MR 918, both chambered in 9mm Luger. The MR 918 was an innovative pistol to be sure, but for a company that cut its teeth on customizing […]
It was a few months ago the Dan Wesson Vigil showed up for review. We pressed it into service right away. As expected, it was well fit and quite attractive, but how would she act? The Vigil is a very traditional looking pistol with classic lines. It has what you need in a defensive pistol […]
