Henry makes guns that keep up the values established by the company’s namesake—traditional pistol caliber lever actions, mostly. These guns make versatile ranch guns, and are cowboy competitions. They’re adding to their catalog in a big way. If you are looking for an American made .30-30, or a hard hitting favorite .45-70, check out the new guns from Henry. These are hard-working lever actions, but miles away from the pistol calibers you might associate with the brand.

I believe a new shooter should start with a fully functional gun and not some bargain basement piece of crap. Youth shooters would do well to check out a TriStar. These inexpensive shotguns work incredibly well, and don’t break the bank. Some of them are even pink–which got me some strange looks at the range.

Tired of wrecking your thumbs loading AR mags? Maglula has the answer. Their new Benchloader is less expensive, more versatile, and damn fast.

The BAR, and its derivatives, never really caught on with civilian shooters. Maybe .30-06 was too expensive. Or maybe the guns were just too big. There’s more steel in a BAR than there is in an F-150. But there are still shooters, like me, who want a BAR, and Ohio Ordnance Works is filling that demand.

Edge Arms’ Reliant is a 4 barreled badass. The Reliant will be chambered in .32 HR Mag, .32 ACP, .380 ACP and .38 Special +P. How will it change the concealed carry debate?

How do you take a 1911 and get it to run at speeds that would make a .357 Magnum jealous? Meet the 450 SMC. The Short Magnum Cartridge can push a 185 grain JHP over 1,350 FPS.

We got a sneak peek at the new M1 Carbines being made by the new incarnation of the Inland brand. These guns are close historical recreations meant to be carried and shot. History, nostalgia, and fun–rolled into a well priced package.

The Walker is a modern reproduction of a piece of American History. It is a sidearm you could carry during black powder season. It is an exaggerated wild west gun that is as much fun to handle and hold as it is to shoot, maybe more. And it is a revolver capable of .357 like ballistics that you can buy without filling out a 4473. It’s all of these things, I think, which makes it so compelling. On with the review~

The Remington 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader is unlike any front loader I have had my hands on. The bolt-action front loader is as close to a Remington 700 as you can get, which should open more doors for early season hunters who may have doubts about muzzleloaders. But is it the ultimate, hard hitting, long range early-season hunting gun?
