Federal Syntech Defense: Ammo Test
Federal Syntech ammunition, launched a couple of years ago, turned a few heads with its bright red polymer jackets. But those bright colors are not some marketing gimmick.

Sig Sauer’s P320 XCompact Carry Pistol
I’ve been searching for the perfect carry pistol for 15 years. I started large with a Beretta 92FS full-size. Then I suffered through the miniscule uber-compact stage. Now I’ve figured out that the confidence I gain from shooting a larger pistol with a generous ammo supply far outweighs the extra size and weight. Yes, as […]

Apples & Oranges: Two New Lightweight Concealed Carry Pistols
Summer sweaty season is here, and it comes with the want (not necessarily the need) to carry a smaller and more easily concealable pistol. I say “want” because there’s no reason one can’t carry a standard compact or even full-size pistol inside the waistband with nothing more than a tee, polo, or short sleeve button-down […]
Glock 43X, Maximum Concealment and it Shoots – Review
I shot a Glock. And I liked it… I have to confess that I’m not normally a Glock guy. I don’t have any serious problems with them. If you handed me a Glock, most any Glock, and said this is all you get for the rest of your life to protect yourself, I’d be just […]

Uberti’s El Patron Six Shooter: A Cowboy Classic
I’ve always wanted a pair of matching “cowboy guns.” By matching, I mean a six-shooter and a classic lever-action rifle, chambered in the same caliber. Ideally, that caliber would be .45 Colt. Childhood dreams? Maybe. Or perhaps just because. When we decided to do some stories and videos on these classic guns, we quickly looked […]
