This version of Springfield Armory’s XD Mod.2 comes ready to go with a Crimson Trace red dot already installed. Although the grip feels a bit aggressive and recoil is snappy, this tiny pistol is a great option for those that want to carry something small and lightweight.

The CZ P-10 adheres to the quality you expect from the CZ name. This gun is reliable and accurate; though it does have some snappy recoil. It features a smooth, snag-free frame perfect for concealment. It comes standard with a set of 3-dot sights.

“If you are a fan of the Glock G19, then this gun will be totally familiar to you from the get-go. However, if you’re not familiar with the G19, then this gun might come as a pleasant surprise. It doesn’t matter which camp you’re in ― the Lone Wolf LTD-9 is a gun that will put its bullets where it looks and will last a while. I think you owe it to yourself to give this Wolf a try.” – Mike Hardesty

The LTD 19 V2 is a 9mm semi-auto built on the Glock design but with elevated features like an enlarged mag release and slide stop. This optics ready pistol boasts a 15-round capacity and a total length of 7.16 inches with a 4-inch barrel.

The Springfield XD-M Elite chambered in 9mm offers up a concealed carry pistol with a 14+1 capacity. Built on the infamous XD design, the Elite takes the platform further with fiber optic sights and an optics-ready slide.

“The Toro is Taurus red dot ready version of the GX4. Not only does it run a red dot, but it has a mag extender giving a total capacity of 13+1. Its magazine release was a little shallow, but it’s billed as a carry gun, and carry guns typically include smaller controls. With practice we got used to it and the mags cleared freely when dropped. The magazine extension adds round and also makes the gun easier to handle. As far as shooting, it feels way less snappy than we anticipated. Overall, we liked it!” – Sean Curtis

“The CZ P-09 is an overall excellent handgun.  It’s a modern option for those who desire a polymer frame, hammer-fired, DA/SA gun.  It’s taken the CZ-75 platform and brought it into the modern era of defensive handguns. The P-09 is a great handgun, and it performs where it needs to.” – Travis Pike

The Henry Big Boy Classic is a slick-looking entry into Henry’s Big Boy series. It offers a 20-inch barrel and 10-round capacity with a lever-action design. Practically, it’s not the best for defensive situations, but its sheer fun makes up for that.

“At $1,000 plus, you might be tempted to stop and weigh out your options. That’s a lot of cheddar. But the Mossberg 930 SPX Tactical is super reliable, ergonomically decent with its various models, and accurate.” – Sean Curtis

Yes, it looks like an Ugg boot…now with that out of the way, the FN SCAR 17S is a nifty rifle that will make all your range mates jealous. Though it feels clunky, and there’s not a ton of aftermarket here, it brings a smooth, reliable shooting experience. Plus, it’s just fun. The folding stock makes it easy to tote to and from the range. It also has rails for optics but beware it will destroy cheap optics. Only the finest of glass here.

The FN SCAR 17S is chambered in .308 and offers a reliable rifle with a folding stock. It features a 16.25-inch barrel with 1:12 RH twist and a magazine capacity of 10 or 20 rounds, depending on your state. It’s a clunky 8 pounds, but shoots well and performs reliably.

Bergara makes some of the best barrels in the business, and their complete rifles are just as good. The HMR (Hunting and Match Rifle) allows the user the flexibility to have an effective hunting and target rifle in a single package without sacrificing too much either way. Impressive accuracy, a quality stock/chassis combo, and a crisp trigger make this gun a clear winner.
