Gun Reviews from My Gun Culture
We test and evaluation a lot of guns to help our readers make more informed decisions. In our gun reviews, we always try to focus on those attributes that you normally can't get from magazines and quick product mentions. How does it feel? How does it operate with various types of appropriate ammunition? How is it to carry for extended periods? Is it compatible with accessories like lights and lasers?
As always, we try to bring you this information with a small dose of fun. Shooting safely IS fun after all...
Gun Review: Springfield Armory M1A Standard Rifle
Springfield Armory M1A Standard Rifle This rifle is beast. Not a beast. Just beast. If you have teenage kids, you might have already heard things like video games, high school athletes and cars described as "beast." Apparently it's a subtle, yet cool, form of praise. Kids these days don't generally describe praise-worthy things as "richly robust with just the proper hint of panache." The … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Springfield Armory EMP 9mm Pistol
Suggested Retail Price: $1,345.00 www.springfield-armory.com The Springfield Armory EMP - What's in a name? Contrary to popular belief, the Springfield Armory EMP will not generate a burst of Electro-Magnetic Pulse radiation, thereby knocking out any still-operational Chevy Volts on the eastern seaboard. Nor is it named after the Experience Music Project Museum in Seattle, … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Glock 31 Gen 4 .357 Sig – Glock 357 Sauce Anyone?
Add some zest to your shooting with Glock 357 sauce I used to be a lousy shot. Until I tried Glock 357 sauce with the Glock 31 Gen 4 chambered in .357 Sig. I'm still a lousy shot, but I shoot with a lot more zest! As you may know, we kind of have a thing for the .357 Sig cartridge - as evidenced by some our our previous work including our review on the Glock 32, CorBon .357 Sig DPX ammo, … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Springfield Armory TRP Armory Kote 1911 .45 ACP
1911’s have a lot to live up to. Designed by John Moses Browning (may he rest in peace) they have been known to take down both a Japanese Zero fighter and German Storch observation plane in World War II. In fact, some believe that a stray 1911 .45 ACP round inadvertently destroyed the city of Dresden. The Springfield Armory TRP 1911 Armory Kote™ is modeled after the famous FBI contract … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Gaston’s G.I.L.F. – The Glock 26 Gen 4 Subcompact Pistol
Suggested Retail Price: $649.00 http://us.glock.com Gun Review: Glock 26 Generation 4 Subcompact Pistol We had a terrible time coming up with a catchy and witty title for this Glock 26 review. The Mouse Gun That Roars? Nope. Not mousy enough. Son of a, son of a, son of a Glock 26? Nah. Too Jimmy Buffett. Is That A Glock On Your Ankle Or Are You Just Happy To See Me? No deal. … [Continue this gun review]
Nightstand Perfection? Glock + Crimson Trace squared
The stars aligned, it was a slow day on cable and there was not another Presidential Debate scheduled for 18 more minutes. In short, we were bored and started tinkering. Coincidentally at this particular time we found ourselves reviewing a Glock 17 Gen IV, Crimson Trace Lightguard, and Crimson Trace LG-850 Lasergrips. That moment of boredom is when it occurred to us that… you can put all … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Ruger LCR .357 Magnum
Taming the Beast! A Featherweight .357 Magnum. Suggested Retail Price: $575.00 www.ruger.com The Good The Bad The Ugly Our Rating This is a shootable gun. The polymer frame soaks up some of the potentially aggressive recoil in this ultra-light pocket cannon. We wish that a little more attention was paid to polish and finish of some of the polymer frame areas … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Ruger LCP .380 Auto – Le Canon Petit
Approximate Street Price: ~ $290.00 www.ruger.com The Good The Bad The Ugly Our Rating The standout feature of the LCP was its fit and contour. until you shoot it, you don't appreciate the importance of smooth finish and curves in all the right places. It's comfortable to shoot for a pocket gun. Our only gripe with the LCP was inclusion of just one magazine. It's not an issue of … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Glock 17 Generation 4 9mm Full Size Pistol
Approximate Street Price: $549.00 www.teamglock.com The Good The Bad The Ugly Our Rating The new grip texture is exceptionally effective. We really like it! We found the ejection pattern to be a little wonky and erratic with most types of ammunition. The VPC, CSGV and Brady folks still can't claim that Glocks can pass through metal detectors. Truthfully anyway. Four … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Crosman’s Rogue ePCP .357 Airgun: Best Zombie Gun Ever?
We're on our way back from the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA) Conference. Yeah, we know, it's amazing that someone apparently considers us professional. Our perceived professionalism, or lack thereof, is hardly news. The real news is that POMA has been exposed as a secret Zombie Apocalypse Preparation Organization. We realize the POMA acronym is not easily identifiable as a secret … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Beretta Tomcat 3032 .32ACP
Suggested Retail Price: $435.00 www.berettausa.com The Good The Bad The Ugly Our Rating The generous grip width on the Tomcat makes this mouse gun easy and comfortable to hold. The sights are all black and not easy to pick up - not great for a defense gun. The double action trigger on this gun can be likened to pulling a brick with a string tied to your finger. … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Glock 32 .357 Sig
Approximate Street Price: $525.00 www.glock.com The Good The Bad The Ugly Our Rating The mid-size (19, 32, 23) form factor makes for the ideal carry gun. Large enough to get all fingers on there, but small enough to easily conceal. Retail .357 Sig ammo is expensive. We reload so we really don't care. Volume shooting with even moderate loads will tear up the middle … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Ruger New Model Single-Six Convertible Revolver
The Good This is too much fun to be legal. Great for first time shooters! The Bad Upsets the neighbors when I shoot hundreds of Super Colibri's in my garage. Upsets rats also. The Ugly I have spontaneous and uncontrollable urges to sing Roy Rogers songs like Whoopie Ti-Yi-Yo Our Rating Four Nuns! Ruger New Model Single-Six Convertible Single Action … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Beretta PX4 Storm .40S&W
The Good This is one of the softest shooting guns we've tried The Bad Slide tension is very heavy which is compounded by the de-cocker switch design The Ugly Our monthly cost spend on .40 S&W ammo is now totally out of control Our Rating Three Nuns Beretta PX4 Storm .40 S&W Pistol Approximate Retail Price: $550 www.berettausa.com The … [Continue this gun review]
One Nun with a gun. This product needs a good ruler smack on the knuckles.
Two Nuns. Not bad but a little 'correction' for its own good would make it just fine.
Three Nuns a shooting. This is good, solid, and generally respectable stuff worthy of commendation.
Four Nuns with guns. Our highest rating. After all, who in their right mind would challenge 4 armed nuns?
