In her ‘Gear Up’ column, Michelle Cerino shares her review of Springfield Armory’s newest 1911, the Ronin Operator 4.25-inch in 9mm.

Move over EZ Shield. There’s a new little gun in town for the concealed carry market. It’s the Walther CCP M2 in .380 ACP and it slides back and fires again with ease and accuracy. Sponsored by Walther Arms Walther introduced its first CCP (concealed carry pistol) in 2016, chambered in 9mm. Women loved it […]

I’ve tested a lot, really a lot, of guns in my time as a gun writer. I saw this one from Ruger come out and thought, “I must try it.” Why? I’m always looking at guns with a few questions in mind, particularly regarding The WON and our readership. First of all: Would a woman […]

Many have chosen the 9mm PPQ as their competition or home defense gun. And for good reason. Everyone’s heard about the Walther PPQ and its exceptional trigger. But what a treat to check out the Walther PPQ M2 Q4 TAC! There is SO much to say about this beauty, so let me get started.  Sponsored […]

I’m always on the lookout for guns that would appeal to women shooters. With the rise in popularity of red dot optics on smaller carry guns, I found the Walther PPS M2 with the factory-milled Shield RMSc optic very intriguing.  Sponsored by Walther Arms The Walther PPS M2 is known to be a reliable gun […]

For some time now, I’ve wanted to enjoy some quality time getting to know the AR platform better. With all of the misnomers and ignorance surrounding this misidentified “assault rifle,” I knew that the only way to educate myself was to get my hands on one. I’ve learned so much from reviewing the Ruger AR-556, […]

During SHOT Show 2019, GLOCK announced its 2 new Slimline CCW models: the GLOCK 43X and the GLOCK 48. With the popularity of the GLOCK 43 and the demand for a higher capacity single-stack GLOCK, these models were greatly anticipated. Although the new GLOCKS were in response to the very popular SIG P365, I was […]

A few years ago, I reviewed the Walther PPQ M2, and liked it. I’ve been carrying that firearm for a while now, especially in colder temperatures and under coats and jackets for concealed carry. Walther asked The WON to review its sub-compact version of this striker-fired pistol, the Walther PPQ SC, in the Law Enforcement […]

Walther Arms offers several compact concealed carry firearm options for women, which include the CCPM2, the PPQ sub-compact and this one, the PPS M2 LE Edition. Imagine my surprise, when I went to pick up a Walther at the gun store and learned that there were 3 for me to take home and review? The […]

When considering owning a firearm for hunting, I wanted a versatile firearm caliber. I wanted a rifle that I can hunt many species with that will be effective in helping me make a clean and ethical shot. Since I am a hunting guide, I wanted it chambered in .300 caliber. This caliber has the versatility […]

Almost a year ago I traveled to Las Vegas to attend the Springfield Armory Desert Duel, a writer’s event where they introduced new firearms. One of these firearms was the M1A 6.5 Creedmoor, which technicially was not a new rifle, but a new chamber. In the past, Springfield’s M1A Loaded only came chambered in .308 […]

I’ve been looking for a handgun that would be appropriate for my 8-year old daughter to try for her first time. She’s shot a few rifles now, and enjoyed the experience, so I wanted to ensure that this was pleasurable for her as well. I couldn’t have made a better selection than the Volquartsen American Flag […]

It’s here! The next generation of the most popular pistol ever produced by Springfield Armory is now available in the most popular caliber. Meet the XD-S Mod.2 in 9mm. I have to share a little secret … I’ve had the Springfield Armory’s XD-S Mod.2 in 9mm for about a month now. I’m so excited to […]

I decided to put it to the test when Winter Storm Petra arrived […]
