The Strikeman Pro Laser Training System aims to improve your skills as a shooter from the comfort of your home!

Is it a winner? Sootch00 takes this cool combo for a test run. When the Glock 43 was introduced, it was a very small, single-stack pistol and during that time single-stacks were the rage for concealed carry. They were so thin and small, they were easy to carry and yet you still had 9mm. It...

Alpha Foxtrot is based out of Duluth, Georgia, and they’re making a really nice line of 1911s. But one of the things about this particular 1911 is the DLC coating—or diamond-like carbon finishing. It gives it a really smooth finish, it gives it a lot of lubricity, and yet it gives it a lot of...

The Browning BDA was produced from 1976 all the way up until 1997. It was designed by FN and produced by Beretta. Beretta made this very similar to the Cheetah, which is their model 84 in 380 ACP. It holds 13 plus one and a double stack magazine, it’s double-single action, has the blowback design—but...

The Volquartsen VT2 is based on the Ruger 1022 Action, but it comes in 22 Magnum, and you can also get it in 17 HMR. It is a takedown rifle, it is a quick change rifle—and you can change these barrels out really simply: you just press a button, pull down on the lever, the...

Springfield Emissary 4.25″ 1911 Review 1911 has been around since 1911 and served the US military up until 1985. In all the major wars, it proved itself to be an excellent combat sidearm, and it’s as popular today as it ever has been. One of the caveats though, is the most popular caliber for 1911,...

The Colt 1911 was designed in 1911 and it served the US military until 1985. It’s a proven design and a lot of that has to do with the caliber. It has a lot of knockdown power, even though it’s limited to seven rounds during military times, but you can get the eight round magazines...

Stoeger is known for its shotguns, whether it’s sporting clays, hunting, you name it—it is an excellent firearm and really they’re very reasonable in price. Just recently they introduced the STR 9 as a 9mm polymer striker fired pistol—it was the first that Stoeger has introduced. This is a very budget friendly firearm, and yet...

Bul Armory is a 1911 manufacturer out of Israel, and they have really gained a reputation for making excellent 1911s—especially for the money. Today we have one of the 1911 Commander versions. This is a 4.25 inch barrel, it is in 9mm, and 9mm is now the number one caliber for a 1911. It’s surpassed...

Taurus introduced their G3 series, it was a turning point for Taurus. Over the past few years, they have really upped their game. One of the big things about Taurus is it’s always been a very budget friendly firearm, which is nice, especially if you need something for self defense and you don’t want to...

The IWI Masada was introduced in 2017. It’s a full size 9mm striker-fired pistol. Masada means fortress in Hebrew, but it was also a very famous fort that stood against the Romans back during the time when the Romans occupied Israel. This is a combat weapon and are made specifically for combat. Now they’ve introduced...

Today we’re gonna take a look at the Standard Manufacturing Company G4S. This is a little 22 that’s based a lot on the old Thompson machine gun. It has the same kind of feature, it has that stick magazine, it fits in that same kind of position, and it has a bolt at the top...

When Sig introduced their P365, it was definitely a game changer. You hear those names thrown around a lot, but it really led a revolution for these micro sub-compacts with double stack magazines. They are very small, capable firearms with 10 plus one in the magazine—and you can get extended magazines as well. Now SIG...

The 10mm has a lot of mystique around it. A lot of people love it mainly because it just has a lot of power. It really rivals the .357 Magnum and yet it’s a semi-automatic that holds multiple rounds. In fact, this M&P 2.0 holds 15 rounds and that’s a lot of comfort on your...

As I’ve stated a number of times, we live in the golden age of firearms. I mean, there are so many different choices—and there continue to be new innovations and new upgrades to existing designs that give us a lot of choices. This year, we reviewed quite a few handguns, but there were five handguns...

When it comes to the Colt 1911, it’s the original. Ever since 1911, Colt has been making really high quality 1911s, serving all the way through all the major wars that we’ve seen over the past century plus for 110 years. It’s just one of those firearms that has a lot of mystique about it,...

When it comes to holsters there’s a lot of different options and because of that we usually buy a holster, we try it out and then we put it in a box to maybe use in the future. I’ve got boxes of holsters that I have bought over the years. Sometimes Kydex, inside the waistband,...

The 1911 is just as popular today as it ever has been and it’s just one of those iconic firearms served with the US military from 1911 to 1985, and are still being used today in a lot of special forces applications. This is a favorite for competitive shooters, and it’s just one of those...

Smith & Wesson introduced their model 422 in 1987 and it was produced until 1996. The 422 was a really lightweight, handy, very pointable firearm. These also came in the 622 and the difference was a blue carbon slide with an aluminum frame, and the 622 had a stainless steel slide with an aluminum frame...

Henry Arms makes some of the best lever action rifles on the market, all made in the USA and they’re well known for their really high quality standards with their firearms. With a lever action, the Henry Arms 45-70 is hands down my favorite. It’s a very large caliber, it’s a large bullet, and man,...

Since that time, Glock has become...
