When it comes to purchsasing gear, who among us doesn’t have boxes (or closets) full of stuff we’ve bought but seldom, if ever, use. Most shooters ask the same questions: what’s the best gun out there, what’s the best ammo out there, what are the best sights or optics out there, what’s the best holster out there, what’s the best ...

We take a quick look at the new CC9 from HK USA, the company’s first micro-compact carry pistol. The concealed carry market hasn’t been the same since Sig Sauer released the P365 and ushered in a new era of micro-compact 9mm pistols. It seems that every firearms manufacturer around responded by making their own take on the concept, but Heckler ...

High Speed Gear is now shipping the second generation TACO X2R magazine pouch meant for use with magazines for AR-10-pattern rifles.  Even though the 7.62 NATO/.308 Win. rifle cartridge ceased being the primary rifle cartridge of the free world since the sunset of the Cold War, modern Western militaries still rely on rifle platforms built around this cartridge or others ...

One of my all-time favorite Springfield Armory pistols is the 1911 DS Prodigy. This is a pistol with all the benefits of the 1911 platform, but in a double-stack 9mm configuration. The Prodigy is incredibly easy to shoot, being both accurate and reliable. The 1911 is a tough design to beat, and it seems that it just keeps getting better over ...

Now under new management, RCBS hopes to expand the availability of its excellent reloading products and recommit to the innovation of new tools. In May, 2024, Hodgdon Powder acquired RCBS. It seems like a perfect fit. After all, if you load your own ammunition, you need gunpowder (Hodgdon) and reloading tools (RCBS). Hodgdon has been in the gunpowder business since ...

The ProblemAs an older shooter, you are becoming disgusted with your shooting these days. Your accuracy is not what it used to be with your favorite pistol.
