We compared 5 .22 LR pistols from $300–$500. Shoot 500 rounds for $40 instead of $125 – the TX22 wins, but your best pick depends on what you carry.
Glock ships a 10/10 reliable pistol with 6/10 sights and trigger. We ranked 5 upgrades by impact – sights first, trigger second – from $15 to $180.
We compared 5 slugs from $1–$3.50 and the biggest mistake is mismatching slug type to barrel – sabot through a smooth bore gives 8-inch groups at 50 yards.
We tested 5 CCW shirts from $25–$70. Your tight t-shirt is printing more than you think – one size up in a dark pattern fixes it.
We compared 5 bore solvents from $8–$25 – and CLP didn’t make the cut. It smears carbon, it doesn’t dissolve it. Bore Tech Eliminator wins for most shooters.
We compared 5 scopes from $300–$1,500 for .308 bolt-actions. Before trusting any turret, run a tall target test – budget scopes routinely lie by 10%.
We tested 5 sporting clays shotguns from $900–$2,000. Stock fit matters more than price – if your eye isn’t on the rib, you’ll miss targets your skill should break.
We tested 5 pocket pistols from $250–$500. The Ruger LCP MAX wins – but 50 rounds through a 10 oz gun will teach you what “snappy” really means.
The A2 grip ships on nearly every AR-15, but its 70° wrist angle is killing your trigger press. We tested 5 grips from $15–$40 to fix that.
