Review of Tech-Sight TSR200 (for Ruger 10/22)
Kevin Felts at AllOutdoor has reviewed the Tech-Sight TSR200. These sights are, hands down, the best iron sights for the Ruger 10/22. I have been using them for many years and can’t say enough good things about them. Kevin wrote … The Ruger 10/22 is an amazing rifle, but if there’s one part on the Ruger 10/22 that […]

Pocket Guns Reviews the G42 Mag Guts +1
I love the G42 and even had a chance to review the pistol earlier this year. In that review, I did bemoan the capacity (but understood why it was designed that way). Fortunately, the aftermarket is stepping in to add capacity to the diminutive 380 handgun. Pocket Guns & Gear has reviewed the Mag […]

Outdoor Hub: The 8 Most Realistic Gun Scenes in Hollywood
I think that most shooters would agree that shooting a shooting scene in Hollywood is usually far from accurate. All too often magazines never run out of ammunition, aiming is as simple and thinking, and simple cover stops armor-piercing rounds. But, some directors take the time to do it right. OutdoorHub has taken the time […]

The Robinson Model 11 Machine Pistol: A 1940s PDW
Small Arms Review has an excellent article on the little-known Robinson Machine Pistol, an Australian hand-held automatic weapon in 9mm. The Robinson uses a mechanism somewhat like the QX-04 handgun covered on this site in a previous article, but closer in some ways to a standard advanced primer ignition (API) blowback submachine gun. The barrel, […]
