Back in 2019, CZ announced they planned to create a crossover blended from the CZ75 platform and John Browning’s 1911 design. A hybrid in the same vein as Ligers, Zorses, and Zonkeys, the gun was to be called the decidedly lyrical “DWX,” borrowing part of those initials from CZ’s Dan Wesson sister company, itself a… Continue reading CZ Wakes Up, Starts Shipping DWX Pistols

Savage Arms dates to 1894 in one form or another. Its most recent version broke away from the 800-pound gorilla that is Vista Outdoors– the folks that own Federal, CCI, Speer, and other ammo brands– in 2019 and has since been trying to reinvent itself ever since.

Moving into the AR15 and AR10 space is a new thing… Continue reading New Springfield Armory Saint Victor 9mm PCC

Daniel Horner is– without being smug about it– probably the best multi-gun champion in the world.

Sig has already tapped Horner to… Continue reading New Sig Sauer P320-XFive DH3

In the past decade, big gun companies have figured out it’s probably a good idea to have a suppressor concern under their roof.

Theodore Roosevelt’s Smith & Wesson New Model No. 3 was shipped from the factory just days after the bespectacled former New York City Police Commish and Assistant Secretary of the Navy had been officially sworn in as a new lieutenant colonel in the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry in May 1898.
