The Next Chapter reviews the AR-7 IMHO, this is an affordable, expendable rifle. When weight and size are critical for packing, it is something that I can carry for use as a last resort, something that may be just barely enough gun to do get me through an unexpected [Read More…]

John Taranto at The Gun Shots is the first to review the new Mossberg LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger: The LBA’s trigger blade is not nearly as deep as that of the AccuTrigger. In fact, without using a measuring device, I’d say it’s about two-thirds to half as [Read More…]
John Snow @ The Gun Shots has written a review on the Sig Sauer P250. Well worth a read. Took delivery of a new toy today—a Sig Sauer P250 in 9mm. For those not familiar with this handgun it has a hyper-modular design that allows you to mix and match different sized [Read More…]
Shooting Times (UK) has reviewed the .22 Ruger 77/22 rifle Priced towards the upper end of the rimfire scale, the M77/22 still gives excellent value for money. Build quality is good, as is the accuracy and reliability in the test. With the options of stainless and [Read More…]

GunBlast.com has just reviewed the Taurus PT1911 .45 pistol. It is a big contrast to the review by B.B. who had a lot of trouble with his. GunBlast.com The Taurus delivered. It was one hundred percent reliable with every type of factory ammunition that I had available. [Read More…]
Stevedcross @ The Gun Blogs has just posted a review on his new Sig 556 rifle I brought home a new baby. A brand new Sig 556 rifle. Forward grip, stream light tactical light, HALO sight. What a wonderful piece of engineering! I have as of yet not done any formal [Read More…]
B.B. Pelletier reviews the Gamo Whisper, Gamo’s suppressed air rifle which I blogged about recently. Noise is what the new Gamo Whisper is all about, and I’ll address that issue for you right now. I don’t find the Whisper to be that much quieter than [Read More…]

McBride did 3 things in the War. He ran a Machine Gun Squad, acted as a Rifleman, and acted as a Sniper, and he described all three extensively. Of course he grew up shooting, and joined the army already a skilled armed outdoorsman. He thought the 2 things most valuable [Read More…]
From Shooting Times (UK): I have always been a sucker for a good thumbhole stock and enjoy using the smaller calibre rifles for their ease of shooting, light recoil and level of performance that is more than sufficient for an evening’s rabbit foray. The .17 HMR [Read More…]
The Shooting Times UK has a review of the Yildiz over-and-under 20 gauge (or 20 bore as they call it in the UK). The Yildiz 20-bore is that sort of gun, combining some of the latest manufacturing techniques with other quite traditional virtues. It has pleasing, [Read More…]
The Good: The little Kel-Tecs are very easy to conceal, with very little weight or bulk. They are also very inexpensive. The Bad and Ugly: On the 2nd or 3rd round fired, the little bracket that the guide rod slides through fell out and disappeared. I’m told that [Read More…]
A very detailed review of the Walther P99 pistol has been post on the PAFOA forum here. It also includes some beautiful photos of the P99. So, the real verdict, how does it shoot? Well, for me, it shoots better than any gun I have ever fired, which includes an [Read More…]
