The Trijicon RMR doesn’t look like much. It looks so small, espsceially when it tops a rifle, that the RMR could be easily dismissed. Yet the optic’s functionality make it a giant in the reflex market. And the RMR is the fastest, most accurate red dot I’ve ever used. Read more

Fans of rimfire modern sporting rifles have something new to check out. The Beretta ARX 160 in .22LR is accurate, fast, and easy to use. This rifle built for epic plinking, and for practicing for the higher powered ARX 160 in 5.56, which is already seeing service in Europe. But you’re going to need a lot of 22LR. Read more
I’ve been waiting for months to do this review. Back in November, a friend sent me a link to the Zip and I’ve been trying to size up the radical design ever since.

So a good friend of mine, a man I’ve known for almost twenty years, sent me a text last week.

And it has the potential to be a versatile little gun. Guns.com had a great interview with gun’s inventor last week, but the Zip put in a brief appearance at the SHOT show, then disappeared.
