Let’s get one thing out of the way: I’ve been sitting on this Springfield Armory Hellcat Review for some time now, and I’ve been carrying this particular firearm nearly since it’s release. There have been plenty of other articles related to the Springfield Armory Hellcat that I’ve done over the years, but never an in-depth…

Firstly, a profound apology to Kristina at FN for the tardy review that follows. Picture me sheepishly peeking out from behind this mountain of tardiness, waving a white flag fashioned from a shooting range target. It’s been over 3 years since I was invited to an event for the FN 509 LS EDGE and with…

![[VIDEO] Firearm Review: IWI Masada 9S Slim ORP](https://imagedelivery.net/sbm_lYeJbALkepJgtmRD5w/concealednation.org/2023/07/20230714_095419.jpg/w=1200,h=900)
The Masada Slim is a polymer frame 9mm pistol with double stack 13 round magazines.

Palmetto State Armory’s at it again. The same company that brought us the Rock and Dagger is taking a leap into yesteryear with a replica of the German-made STG-44. It’s part of what’s being called the Battlefield line, which is PSA doing what a bunch of history nerds have been hoping for for years. PSA…

Mid-2021 is when our friends at Kimber announced the new Kimber R7 Mako, a 9mm striker-fired handgun in the compact category. Since then, I’ve spent a lot of time with mine both at the range and carrying. I opted for the optics version, because I’m a dot guy now. Before we get started, here are…
