The Texas 1911 wizards otherwise known as STI have partnered with Chris Costa to offer a Costa Carry Comp STI 2011.

[SHOT 2016] Honor Defense Sub Compact Pistols
Don’t be put off by the pictures just because this is another striker fired pistol. Honor Defense has actually done something a little different. I have had the opportunity to run a number of sub compacts over the past couple of years, and I think this is one I would actually consider carrying (though I […]

SKO-Bull Semi-Auto Bullpup 12ga Shotgun
While I was at the booth shooting the DP-12 double barreled pump shotgun I noticed two other shotguns on display. The makers of the DP-12 are branching into semi-automatic shotguns. They have two versions of magazine fed semi-auto shotguns. A standard shotgun configuration and a bullpup. Unfortunately they were non-functioning prototypes with 3D Printed components.

Beretta M9… In .22LR (SHOT Show 2016)
The Beretta M9 has served the United States military for decades now, and one could see how a .22lr version may well be beneficial as a training aide or just a fun plinker. At Media Day at the Range 2016 (the day before, technically) Patrick takes a look at the .22 version of the famous […]
