We were invited to the Sig Range Event 2018. Many writers and photographers had been patiently waiting to shoot the new Sig P365. Our patience paid off with seeing, touching and (most importantly) shooting the P365. The Sig P365 9MM debuts into an already crowded compact 9MM market where we have excellent options from Glock, S&W, Kahr, Walther, and Ruger already available to the “gunsumers.” … Read More →

Review: JagerWerks Engineering
We have all seen it a couple dozen times—a new product, idea, or trend hits the market and becomes insanely popular. Next thing you know, everyone from mom and pop shops to major companies to garage crafters start churning out their own version of said trend. We have seen this with everything from kydex holsters, to stippling of polymer frames, to custom finishes on handguns. … Read More →
SHOT Show 2017
Follow along here as we add more photos and news from SHOT Show 2017! From the time you board the plane to Vegas that’s full of more 5.11 pants and shirts with the word molon on them than you can count until the day it’s wheels up to go back home, it’s easy to start conversations and guess exactly who is out here for SHOT Show. … Read More →
Freedom Munitions 9mm Review (ProMatch and 124 grain New Production)
Admittedly, my very first review of Freedom Munitions back in 2014 raised some questions for me. But over the last year or so, knowing that world class shooters like Janna Reeves, BJ Norris, and Jansen Jones shoot thousands and thousands of rounds of Freedom Munitions each year (presumably without issue, since they tend to do very well in matches) I began to think that it might … Read More →
Review: Wilson Combat Remanufactured Ammo
Wilson Combat’s ammunition is top-shelf in every sense of the phrase (except the one that involves a certain type of magazine). OAL is always dead on from round to round, consistency has always been ridiculously good out of every gun I own, and accuracy is as good as a given bullet/barrel combo will allow it to be. But you don’t just waste top-shelf things. And so … Read More →
Sig Sauer P226 SAO Legion Series
I was perusing the interwebs this morning when I saw a friend’s status calling the new Deadpool movie both “sexy” and “flawless.” Besides reminding me that I really do need to pay the money to see that movie in the theater, it made me realize that both words are appropriate descriptions of Sig’s new Legion Series P226 SAO (Single Action Only). Deadpool needs to upgrade his Deagles to Legions. I know a lot of … Read More →
SIG SAUER Releases Elite Performance Ammunition FMJ
My first pistol ever (left) was a Sig Sauer P239. I still carry it all the time, and more importantly, I trust it. It is one of two semi-autos I own that has never failed in any way on the line (light strikes, failures to feed/eject/extract, whatever else), which puts it in the very rare category of being more reliable than most revolvers I’ve owned. So imagine my … Read More →
Speer Gold Dot G2 Ballistic Test
When HP first got our hands on Speer’s then-new Gold Dot G2 in October, we were really excited about it. After all, why would Speer put a newer version of the Gold Dot on the market unless it outperformed the original? Over the next few months I spent a fair amount of time, manpower, and resources testing the new 147 grain G2 9mm, and after almost six … Read More →
SHOT Show Recap 2015
There really isn’t any other show out there like SHOT. And I love attending whether it’s as an exhibitor or media (I’ve had the opportunity to do both in the past). 2015 was no exception. But having said that, this wasn’t a groundbreaking year for the firearms industry. Although there were a lot of very cool things, this was a year of little tweaks and … Read More →
SHOT Media Day 2015 (Industry Day at the Range)
So first off, the rumors were true: Glock failed to release a 9mm variant of the 42. I like Glock a lot, but an optic-ready pistol isn’t something I’ll be writing home about, so SHOT coverage from Media Day 2015 is going to be uncharacteristically Glockless until we make it to the booth later this week. There were a TON of great products this year, … Read More →
