Review: SilencerCo Switchback 22
by Andy Massimilian - Wednesday, January 13, 2021 SilencerCo’s Switchback 22 is one of the more interesting suppressors, made with modularity that offers not only a choice of three different lengths, but also the ability to augment sound reduction on arms with barrels longer than 10.5 inches by changing the baffle direction. The Switchback is rated for all .22- and .17-caliber rimfires, .22 Hornet and 5.7x28 mm.
Review: Heckler & Koch SP5K-PDW
by Andy Massimilian - Monday, December 14, 2020 Genuine Heckler & Koch roller-delayed blowback arms such as the HK 91, 93, and 94 have always been popular with American shooters and collectors, but, aside from the HK SP5K imported in 2017, these legacy arms have been unavailable since the early 1990s.
Review: CZ Bren 2 Ms Carbine
by Andy Massimilian - Monday, November 30, 2020 CZ’s Bren 2 Ms carbine released earlier this year is a much evolved version of the 805 Bren. That rifle was closely based on the selective-fire 805 Bren that debuted in 2015, designed to meet the requirements of the Czech military.
Review: CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis Rifle
by Andy Massimilian - Saturday, October 31, 2020 Bolt-action rimfire rifles have made a strong comeback in the past few years with CZ USA’s lineup of 14 models, the most prolific of any maker. Many of the newer models from CZ and others, however, are not field rifles for plinking or small-game hunting, but are heavy-barrel varmint types intended for Practical Rimfire Competition (PRC). PRC is a new class of competitive shooting that involves engaging targets up to 400 yds.

Review: Heckler & Koch SP5 Pistol
by Andy Massimilian - Friday, August 21, 2020 This year, Heckler & Koch introduced a product long sought by American gun buyers: a pistol that replicates the look of the legendary MP5 submachine gun made by the company that invented it. The SP5 is made at HK’s Oberndorf factory in Germany and, with the exception of being semi-automatic-only and lacking a buttstock, faithfully reincarnates a venerated firearm that has come to define Germany’s Heckler & Koch perhaps like no other.
Review: SIG Sauer P320 XCompact Pistol
by Andy Massimilian - Tuesday, June 30, 2020 Some pistols blur the lines between those made for competition and those made for concealed carry. Sharing features with the competition-oriented P320 X5 Legion, SIG Sauer’s carry-size P320 XCompact is perhaps most exemplar of this approach where defensive pistols are designed to perform as well on the street as they do on the range.
