Gun Review: CZ Shadow 2 Compact 9mm Pistol

I’ve had this gun for several months and put about 2,000 assorted rounds through this it. It’s been a hit on the range with multiple experienced shooters getting a turn with it. All loved it. None of that was necessary for this review, but it’s instructive. In this case, the name of the gun and […]

The Beretta Cheetah is one of those true cult classics. Originally released in 1976 and chambered in both .32 and .380ACP, the little guns were used by several military and police forces and were included in a wide range of films and TV shows.

The SIG SAUER Cross is consistently one of the best-selling bolt action rifles on the market. SIG has steadily diversified this line with multiple models and a series of partnership with other brands. Late in 2023, they took a big risk, listened to a relatively small but vocal section of their fan base, and released […]

Optic Review: SIG SAUER TANGO-DMR 3-18X44 Rifle Scope

SIG SAUER TANGO-DMR 3-18x44 scope

SIG SAUER’s new TANGO-DMR 3-18x44mm scope blurs the line between “tactical” and “hunting” optics. As precision shooting leagues of various types have flourished, more and more of those competitive shooters have also gotten into hunting. And the reverse is true as well. More hunters are using techniques developed in precision shooting to up their game […]
