These Sig Sauer V-Crown 9mm bullets expanded perfectly after passing through the four-layer FBI test fabric.

Ammo Test: Sig Sauer Elite Performance V-Crown 9mm

While the Sig ammo is a relative newcomer to the market, the people are not. I spent some time talking with Dan Powers, who runs the ammo show, and it’s clear that the folks behind Sig Sauer’s new ammunition division have been there and done that. Because every caliber, load and brand combination is different, we’re going to be testing a number of different Sig Sauer loads over the coming weeks. We’ll start the handgun family with Sig’s Elite Performance V-Crown 9mm load.

For this test, I decided to use a snub-nose revolver, a Ruger LCR 357.

Ammo Test: Remington’s Ultimate Defense 38 Special +P

Looking for a carry round that will live up to its advertising hype? Yeah–so am I. Companies make some bold claims about penetration and expansion, and these claims get even more elaborate when rounds are engineered for short barreled guns. Today we’re looking at Remington’s Ultimate Defense in .38. Read more….

Torture Test: The Savior Rifle Bag

Writing a rifle bag review seems pretty straight forward right? All you have to do is talk about the material, construction, and compartments and call it a day. Well, I wanted to make this informative and entertaining so I decided to torture test a rifle bag from Savior and see what happens.

Field Test: Federal Premium Black Cloud TSS

If you put a premium on killing big geese dead, you need to think long and hard about saving your pennies and investing in a case or two of this lethal load.

Glock G44 Durability test: Part Deux

Overall, I am happy to say that reports of Glock’s death have been greatly exaggerated. I don’t know what happened with anyone else’s gun, but I do know what happened with mine. It ran like a sewing machine and looked mostly factory new after it did.

Beretta's APX pistol is now a family. The standard, Compact, and Centurion (not shown).

Field Test: Beretta’s APX Full Size and Compact

The APX was born out of the Army’s Modular Handgun trials. Manufacturers came out with new pistols and revisions of existing models in their efforts to win the lucrative contract to equip the United States Military with 74 boatloads of new handguns to replace the Beretta M9 series now in service.

SIG Sauer MCX VIRTUS Long-term Endurance Test: Part 1

Last month, I was handed the new SIG Sauer Virtus rifle for review, my first test item in the MCX family. Though initially, I was skeptical, the Virtus turned out to be very impressive weapon system. It uses a unique operating system, an entirely new piston driven action developed in-house by SIG Sauer.
