Product Issue: Freedom Munitions 124-grain 9mm FMJ

*As of 5/10/2016, a more current review of Freedom Munitions 9mm can be found here. Thanks for reading.* [Editor’s Note- 1/15/2016] We recently received a different batch of Freedom 9mm to test out. Testing is ongoing, but of note, it appears that the brass on current new production 9mm is standard-spec stuff now without any “step” inside the case. Additionally, we have not seen any signs Read More →

Which Bulk-Pack Ammo Is Right for You?

The obvious answer to this question with things at their current state is the one that you can FIND! But if you do have a choice, this article will help you pick the right one for you. Rather than listing out a thousand obscure options you probably won’t even see for sale anytime soon, our focus here is to take a look at some of the Read More →

Product Review: Winchester Win3Gun .45 ACP Ammunition

I finally busted out the .45 again after my recent 9mm kick, and I have to say I made a good decision when I grabbed some of the Win3Gun I received from them a short time ago. With this product, Winchester went after a demographic of shooters that has gone largely unrecognized by the vast majority of “big” factory ammunition companies, and certainly at this price point.

Product Review: Asym Precision 9mm Match Ammunition

I had the good fortune to run into Stan Chen at the SHOT Show back in January of this year, and he struck me as someone who cares deeply for both his work and his customers. Not only that, he’s one of the nicest people you’ll ever talk to. And after looking at some of his 1911s and shooting a fair amount of his ammunition, Read More →

Product Review: Winchester WIN1911 Ammunition

Back in November, when Winchester revealed they were planning to release a new line of ammo designed specifically for John Browning’s most iconic handgun design, you were probably interested…unless you’re a Glock fan. (Just kidding, guys.) Either way, you should be interested now. Winchester’s goal of an ammunition line worthy to bear the name of the 1911 left big shoes to fill, but the end Read More →

Product Review: Federal American Eagle Suppressor 9mm Ammo

We recently had the chance to try out the 9mm iteration of Federal’s American Eagle “Suppressor” line of ammunition. Although the difference between the Suppressor ammo and the regular American Eagle line of ammo appears to be less drastic in .45, which is essentially all subsonic anyway, the Suppressor 9mm (AE9SUP1) is significantly downloaded to keep the 124 grain projectile from breaking the sound barrier and producing the sonic Read More →

“Super” Super: Buffalo Bore 38 Super +P Ammo

Even enthusiasts of the oft-forgotten caliber will admit that there hasn’t been anything super about the 38 Super for a very long time. Since the Colt Super-.38 was introduced as a pistol capable of taking any game on the American continent in the December 1928 edition of the American Rifleman, it has been a slow and steady decline for the once-touted 38 Automatic. There have surely Read More →

Review: Wilson Combat 230 gr. HAP “Bill Wilson Signature Match” .45 ACP

Ask any handloader why they measure their powder charge multiple times for a given load, and you’ll likely get an answer that has something to do with consistency. Whether it is for range use, a match, or personal defense, consistency from round to round is of paramount importance. Reliability and accuracy depend on it, and it is a key part of the equation when deciding whether Read More →
