  • Smith and Wesson M1917 Revolver

    Smith and Wesson M1917 Revolver

    The Smith and Wesson M1917 revolver is an oddity; a wheel-gun chambered in an auto cartridge. It’s a military arm with a long and storied past. How much history? Well, mine is 98 years old. It’s so old that Smith and Wesson doesn’t even have web page for it. The closest thing you can find…

    Silencer Shop Authority Gemtech GM-22 Review

    The new Gemtech GM-22 rimfire suppressors is one of the shortest and lightest suppressors we have tested.  At 5 inches in length and only 2.5 ounces it is barely noticeable on a .22 rifle and does not affect the balance of a handgun.  But how does it perform?  Quite well actually. Is it the absolute…

    Fin Super Gun Lubricant Review

    Do You Hate Cleaning Your Guns? I’m going to admit something that no gun owner would be proud of: I hate cleaning my guns. I find it tiresome, boring, and time-consuming, and I’ve often wished there was a way to make it easier. A lot of this has to do with lubricant. I know, it sounds…

  • Keltec RFB Accuracy/Range Report

    Keltec RFB Accuracy/Range Report

    I didn’t really want this Keltec RFB, it wasn’t on my list of wants or needs but for the price I just couldn’t say no. If all else failed I could have made money on it, now I think maybe the Keltec RFB stays.

  • Spikes Tactical / Green Mountain barrel AR Pistol Build

    Spikes Tactical / Green Mountain barrel AR Pistol Build

    By: Cary Kieffer I know you give up some velocity but I really like the AR pistol idea. They are obviously shorter, lighter and to a lot of people handier. Especially when turning corners in a building or getting out of a vehicle. To me the best part is I get rifle like performance from…
