An AR-15 is a relatively simple machine in the grand scheme of things. With only about 200 parts, the design can be assembled in less than two hours by anyone with a pin punch, hammer, and marginal intelligence.

A couple of years ago, SIG Sauer announced that the P220 chambered for 10mm would join the Legion family, and I was excited. The word was that it would follow the release pattern of DA/SA first, then the single-action-only (SAO) would come later. I opted to hold out for the SAO, figuring it would be a more interesting gun and because at the time I had just done a review of the P220 Legion in .45 ACP. Had I known it would take more than two years, I might not have made that choice. But – as they say – good things are worth the wait, and this new Legion pistol proves that old saying to be, once again – true.

When the Mauser M18 rifle was first introduced last year, reactions were predictably split. Some hunters immediately rushed out to buy one while some of the more stodgy types among us declared, “That’s not a Mauser – it’s a push feed!”

There are all kinds of muzzle devices that folks attach to their barrels. Some of them are just flash hiders, but others have more profound effects. Muzzle brakes are a powerful way to positively affect accuracy, and they work for all rifles, not just ARs. To get some insight into muzzle brakes, I visited Unique-ARs in McCall, Idaho. In addition to custom AR-15’s, they also make the ROOK brake.

This week, we got our hands on what has to be the hottest pistol of the year, the Ruger 57. The 57 was an unexpected evolution for team Ruger and hit like a shockwave when it was released. I, for one, was also absolutely stunned by what Ruger has built-in terms of features and quality. But the first question some of you may have is, why the 5.7x 28 cartridge?

Springfield has released a new line of XDm handguns that they are dubbing the “Elite.” These new XD-M Elites are everything that they suggest in the name. I was able to get my hands on all four new additions in order to test them and develop an opinion on them that I can now share. Here’s your first look into the XD-M Elites: The trigger is superb, they proved extremely reliable, the grip safety is redesigned and consequently more comfortable and reliably activated, and the magazine capacity is bigger than it has ever been, and so on.

There are a ton of different 22LR suppressors out there on the market, but all of them have one drawback due to the nature of the cartridge itself: they get extremely dirty. This is a problem of the past with OSS‘s new flow-through 22 caliber suppressor. Because of the unique design of the “Flow Baffle,” the expanding gasses are slowed and routed radially, between the outer tube and the core to then exit out of vent holes at the muzzle. This high-pressure flow carries with it a ton of lead and carbon into the open atmosphere, keeping the inside much cleaner than traditional cans.
