Accessory Review: Sordin's Supreme Pro-X SFA Slim
Hearing protection is one of those categories where most shooters settle. They grab whatever electronic muffs are on sale, accept the tinny audio reproduction and the aggressive cutoff that makes every gunshot sound like a door slamming inside a tin can, and call it good enough. The Sordin Supreme Pro-X SFA Slim exists for the shooter who has decided that good enough is not, in fact, good enough. Built in Sweden by a company that has been engineering hearing protection since

Pistol Review: The SAR 7/24 Series
Every few years, a manufacturer drops a pistol at SHOT Show that makes the room pause. Not because of hype. Not because of celebrity endorsements or Instagram campaigns. But because the gun in hand does not feel like what the badge on the slide would lead you to expect. The Sarsilmaz SAR 7/24 series, debuted at SHOT Show 2026 in Compact, Full Size, and Sport configurations, is that kind of surprise. Pick one up and you stop thinking about where it was made. You start thinking

Pistol Review: Phoenix Arm's Drake
If you have already read about the Phoenix Redback Gen 2 and thought to yourself, "That sounds incredible, but I want more barrel, more mass, and more mechanical accuracy," then allow me to introduce you to the gun that Phoenix built for exactly that impulse. The Drake is the company's larger, heavier, more purpose-built competition pistol, and it represents what happens when a team of Swiss engineers who already made one of the finest CZ-architecture pistols on the planet de

Pistol Review: Phoenix Arm's Redback Gen2
There are pistols you buy because they make sense. And then there are pistols you buy because you held one, felt the slide travel on rails that had no business being that smooth, pulled a trigger that broke like it was made by people who consider fractions of a millimeter to be rounding errors, and realized that you were never going to be able to un-feel what you just felt. The Phoenix Arms Redback Gen 2 is the second kind of pistol. -- The Sphinx Resurrection To understand w

Rifle Review: Cadex's CDX-R7 LCP
Building a custom precision rifle is a deeply personal process. You pick your action, your barrel maker, your chassis, your trigger, your caliber, and then you spend weeks waiting for a gunsmith to put it all together and hope the result shoots as well as the spec sheet suggests. Or you buy a Cadex CDX-R7 LCP and skip all of that, because somebody in Quebec already did the homework for you, and they did it with Bartlein barrels, a four-lug short-throw action, and the kind of

Pistol Review: GLOCK's 20V & 21V MOS
For years, the Glock 20 and Glock 21 lived in a strange limbo. Beloved by the people who actually used them, perpetually overlooked by the company that made them. While the 9mm models got Gen5 upgrades first, MOS cuts, flared magwells, and all the attention that comes with being the center of the Glock universe, the 10mm and .45 ACP faithful waited. And waited. The Gen5 MOS versions of both eventually arrived, but always with the sense that they were catching up rather than l

Rifle Review: Volquartsen's Vanquish 22 Superlite ISR
There is something deeply satisfying about a suppressed .22 LR. The sound drops from a sharp crack to something closer to a heavy stapler. Squirrels stop running. Neighbors stop noticing. And if the rifle behind the suppressor happens to be built by the people who have spent decades perfecting the rimfire platform, the experience goes from satisfying to something you genuinely do not want to stop doing. The Volquartsen Vanquish 22 Superlite ISR is that rifle. It is quiet, it

Rifle Review: Cadex's CDX-R7 Sporter
Cadex Defence has spent years earning its reputation in the precision rifle world. Their chassis systems, competition platforms, and tactical rifles have shown up at PRS matches, on military contracts, and in the hands of long-range shooters who take accuracy personally. So when Cadex turned its attention to the hunting market with the CDX-R7 Sporter, the question was never whether they could build a capable rifle. The question was whether a company wired for sub-MOA obsessio

Pistol Review: CZ USA's Shadow 2 Target TALO
CZ has never been shy about iterating on the Shadow 2 platform. Between the standard model, the Orange, the Compact, the Gold Digger, and assorted other variants, the Shadow 2 family tree has more branches than most manufacturers' entire catalogs. But the Shadow 2 Target TALO, available in both 5-inch and 6-inch configurations, is something genuinely different. This is not another action pistol variant with a cosmetic twist. This is CZ building a purpose-driven bullseye and p

Revolver Review: Freedom Arms' Model 97 Custom Engraved
Some guns are built to be used. Some are built to be admired. And then, every once in a while, someone commissions a gun that is meant to do both. This custom engraved Freedom Arms Model 97 in .45 Colt is that kind of gun. A 3.5-inch barreled, round-butt, five-shot single action with full coverage scroll engraving on a platform that was already, before anyone touched it with a chisel, one of the most precisely built production revolvers in the world. -- The Foundation: Freedo

Revolver Review: Spohr’s SPCE6 Club Edition
Every so often you come across a gun that makes you reconsider what you thought you knew about a category. For me, the Spohr SPCE6 Club Edition is that gun. Not because it reinvents the wheel. The double-action revolver is about as mechanically settled as firearms get. But because it takes that settled platform and executes it at a level that makes you wonder what everyone else has been doing all this time. -- A Small Shop With a Big Reputation Spohr is not a household name i

Revolver Review: Spohr Club SPCE-LE - Ten Revolvers. That’s It.
I want to talk about a revolver that most people will never see in person, let alone hold. And honestly, that is part of what makes it worth talking about. The Spohr SPCE-LE6 and SPCE-LE5 are the Limited Edition entries in the Club Edition line from Spohr, a small German manufacturer that most American shooters are only just beginning to hear about. These are not production guns in any meaningful sense of the word. Five revolvers with 6-inch barrels. Five with 5-inch barrels.

Pistol Review: HK's VP9A1 X Crossover & Tactical
If you've been following HK's VP9 rollout over the past year, you could be forgiven for needing a spreadsheet to keep track. The VP9A1 F, the VP9A1 K, optics-ready versions, optics-equipped versions, restricted-state configurations. It has been a lot. But buried inside that expanding catalog is a configuration that quietly makes the most sense for the widest range of shooters: the VP9A1 X, and its suppressor-friendly sibling, the VP9A1 X Tactical. -- What the "X" Actually Mea

Rifle Review: Blaser's R8 Pro 2.0
Most rifle manufacturers talk about innovation. Blaser just quietly builds the most popular hunting rifle in Europe and then, after a decade of proven field use, makes it better. The R8 Professional 2.0, officially introduced in late 2025, is not a reinvention. It is a refinement of a platform that has already earned its place in hunting camps from the Black Forest to the Alaskan bush. And it arrives with just enough meaningful upgrades to make existing R8 owners look twice a

Pistol Review: CZ USA's P-10F Competition
Most competition-oriented pistols start life on the range and eventually trickle down into the tactical and duty world. The CZ P-10 F Competition-Ready took the opposite route. Born from a polymer-framed, striker-fired service pistol, this gun was worked over with match-day intentions until it became something the original P-10 C probably never imagined it would be: a genuine contender at your local USPSA club match, right out of the box. -- CZ and the P-10 Lineage CZ (Ceska

Shotgun Review: SKB's 90TSS Sporting
There's a particular kind of frustration that comes with shopping for a sporting clays over/under. You know what you want; adjustable stock, reliable ejectors, decent barrels, and a trigger that doesn't feel like it was designed as an afterthought. You also know what you can afford. And those two realities rarely overlap. The SKB 90TSS Sporting lives in that tension, and it does a surprisingly convincing job of resolving it. -- The Brand Behind the Barrels SKB's story is more

Pistol Review: Beretta's 92X Performance Carry Optic
The Beretta 92X Performance Carry Optic takes one of the most recognizable pistol platforms in history and gives it a modern, competition-ready upgrade. Built by Beretta, this pistol blends the proven reliability of the 92-series with features designed for serious shooting—especially in the growing world of red-dot-equipped handguns. Think of it as the classic Beretta 92 that decided to spend a few months at the gym and come back ready for match day. -- At its core, the 92X P

Shotgun Review: Beretta's 694 Pro Sporting
The Beretta 694 Pro Sporting is a competition shotgun built with one clear goal: break more clays. Developed by Beretta as an evolution of the already successful 694 platform, the Pro Sporting version adds enhanced adjustability and refined handling to meet the demands of serious sporting clays shooters. If the standard 694 is a strong competitor, the Pro Sporting is its track-ready upgrade, fine-tuned for shooters who want every possible advantage on the course. -- At the he

Pistol Review: Les Baer's Premier II Super-Tac
The Les Baer Premier II Super-Tac is what happens when a classic 1911 gets dressed for serious work. Built by Les Baer Custom, the Super-Tac takes the already respected Premier II platform and adds practical upgrades meant for shooters who actually run their guns hard. Think of it as the Premier II’s more tactical sibling, same legendary accuracy, just with a few extra tricks up its sleeve. -- At its core, the Super-Tac is a full-size Government-model 1911 chambered in .45 AC
