Gun Review: New FN High Power FDE
For more than 80 years Fabrique Nationale Herstal made the Browning High Power, one of the world’s greatest modern sidearms. Then they stopped. It turns out the old warhorse just needed a breather, and maybe…

Gun Review: Grand Power K22 X-TRIM .22LR Pistol
Yes, it’s another Grand Power review. Am I paid by them? No. Do I like their guns? Yes. I’m willing to take criticism for potential favoritism when you accept that I like them after having…
Gun Review: Grand Power Q1S Subcompact Pistol
Do you remember subcompacts (for 9mm about a 3.5″ barrel that carry 12+1 rounds)? They’re the pistol that’s sized small enough to conceal easily, but offers more grip surface and capacity than a single-stack. They…

New for 2022, the Extar Arms EP9 Gen 2 resets what we should expect from a GLOCK magazine-fed 9mm large-format pistol. Large-format 9mm pistols (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Pistol-Caliber Carbines or “PCCs”) have had…
Gun Review: Bergara BMR Carbon Rimfire Rifle
The break of a trigger. The fall of the rifle’s striker. Wait a bit…a puff of dust. A scurrying prairie dog. A miss. But not by much, and the next .22LR round from the Bergara…
Gun Review: Mossberg 940 Pro Turkey Semi-Auto Shotgun
Let me start by saying I’m not a turkey hunter. That’s why when Dan assigned me the Mossberg 940 Pro Turkey shotgun at SHOT Show, I wasn’t expecting much that would hold my interest. What…
