Today there are dozens of .22LR target pistols out there on the market. You can walk into any shop in any state and find any number of Ruger, Browning, Beretta, or Walther pistols among others who all promise to scratch that rimfire itch. But nearly a hundred years ago, Colt got this concept out and perfect and before anyone else did and it came in the form of a work of art we know today as the Woodsman—quite possibly the handgun shooters most want to see made again

Fans of rimfire modern sporting rifles have something new to check out. The Beretta ARX 160 in .22LR is accurate, fast, and easy to use. This rifle built for epic plinking, and for practicing for the higher powered ARX 160 in 5.56, which is already seeing service in Europe. But you're going to need a lot of 22LR.

I've been waiting for months to do this review. Back in November, a friend sent me a link to the Zip and I've been trying to size up the radical design ever since. So when I picked up the Zip earlier this week, I immediately took it out for a test drive. When it is working the Zip is fun. But when it doesn't, things get ugly. And dangerous.
