Gear Review: JMT AR-15 80% Composite / Polymer Lower
TTAG's readership is a well-informed crowd. So I'll spare you an explanation of the purpose(s) of an eighty percent lower. I will say, however, that if you're not making at least a portion of...
Gun Review: GSG MP40 9mm
A phone call from my FFL woke me up. “Your special order just came in, it's a German Sport Guns MP40 in 9mm.” He sounded a bit confused. I rushed down to my LGS...
Gun Review: IWI Tavor X95 in 300 Blackout
From the moment the Israeli-made Tavor hit our shores, it was a major hit. Why not wield a fantastically compact rifle -- meeting the NFA's minimum overall length restriction by a hair's breadth --...
Gun Review: TrackingPoint M400XHDR
From the beginning, TTAG's Armed Intelligentsia has complained that TrackingPoint's automated firing technology's not worth the considerable stack of cash needed to own it. For the same price as a TP rifle package you...

Gun Review: Ruger LCP II .380 Pistol
When choosing a carry gun for self-defense, my advice is simple: pack the largest gun you can comfortably carry. If you're a doctor wearing scrubs, that may be an ankle-carried mouse gun. Which is ideal...
Gear/Gun Review: GEMTECH INTEGRA 5.56 Integrally Suppressed Upper
"It's the quietest 5.56 ever," the guy at Silencer Shop boasted. I'd stopped by their Austin, TX HQ to borrow something for review. But I didn't walk in with an idea of exactly what I...
Gun Review: CZ 75 B Ω Urban Grey Suppressor-Ready 9mm Pistol
Regular readers will know I'm a CZ 75 fanboy. And why not? I’ve never shot a bad one and new shooters love them, too. So expectations were high when I took delivery of new CZ 75...
Gun Review: IAC Hawk 981 Shotgun
I was wandering through my local gun store the other day and saw a pistol grip 12 gauge pump with an 18.5” barrel with Hawk 981 stamped on its side. I like to think...
Gun Review: Ruger GP100 in .44 Special
Those of you old enough to have read Skeeter Skelton‘s columns know the old lawman loved the old .44. He loaded the .44 Special pretty stout, too, pushing a 240-grain Lead Semi Wad Cutter...
