6-min read
Fans of the 2011 platform have some serious firepower to be pumped about with Kimber’s 2K11 pistols. They look and feel like custom beauties.

FEDERAL 7MM BACKCOUNTRY HUNT
14-min read
I had come not just for the pursuit of mule deer, but to test Federal’s newly introduced 7mm Backcountry hunting round. The 7mm Backcountry had performed flawlessly. It was accurate, swift, and deadly. At 250 yards, the shot felt almost too perfect—like I had somehow cheated with a cartridge engineered for extreme distances, rated for precision out to 1,400 yards.

RUGER RXM 9MM SEMI-AUTO
10-min read
Ruger made a bit of a splash with its latest 9mm semi-automatic pistol—a clone of a Gen3 Glock 19. Ruger teamed up with Magpul to produce their interpretation of one of the most popular pistols ever produced. But while manufacturing its own version of the venerable G19, Ruger threw in a few upgrades of its own to show what can be done with the platform while still keeping the price at a very reasonable level for the average gun buyer.
TAURUS GX2 9MM
8-min read
Taurus may have discontinued its popular G2c pistol, but they replaced it with the new GX2—a compact semi-auto, striker-fired 9mm pistol that has a capacity of 13+1. It’s a completely new firearm featuring several refinements and upgrades over its predecessor, all without a price increase.
