America's 1st Freedom

America’s 1st Freedom is dedicated to preserving our fundamental right to self-defense. With news on anti-gun schemes that affect our gun rights, plus the truth about legislative battles on Capitol Hill and the 50 states.

Gun Review: SAR9 Sport

The SAR9 Sport is built on the premise of delivering everything you need for home defense with a side of competition mastery.

Gun Review: Savage Renegauge Security

After the Savage Renegauge proved itself in the harshest outdoor conditions, homeowners requester a shorter version for home defense. Savage obliged and the result is the Security.

Gun Review: Springfield Armory DS Prodigy

The DS Prodigy provides the same magazine capacity as most striker-fired polymer pistols; however, it also provides the familiarity–and much-better trigger–of the 1911.

Gun Review: TISAS PX-9 Duty

This pistol is built to accommodate nearly any hand size or style, has a 20+ capacity and includes a threaded barrel and holster, all within a reasonable price point.

Gun Review: Mossberg .300 BLK MVP Patrol Rifle

When you consider a compact rifle for home defense, you might think of an AR-15 style semi-auto; however, there is much to be said for the bolt gun in this scenario, too.

Gun Review: Walther PDP F-Series

The Walther PDP F-Series 9 mm pistol has been making waves.

Gun Review: Taurus 605 Defender

If you're looking for an affordable wheelgun in .357 Magnum with a barrel length that will support the potency of the round, you're in luck.

Gun Review: Kel-Tec P15

The ultra-slim Kel-Tec P15 delivers highly concealable stopping power in either modern all-polymer or more-classic aluminum walnut grips.

Gun Review - Kimber R7 Mako

Though Kimber's R7 Mako is late to the micro-compact category, it may outswim the competition.

Gun Review: Taurus G3c

The Taurus G3 was the start of a new lineup. A duty-sized pistol, it was just the item you needed for a daily holster-carry sidearm. But those who prefer a more-compact version are now all set with the G3c.

Gun Review: FN 503

The idea of a daily carry pistol is now so common that it passes without notice in many circles. As the weather gets hot, those who do everyday carry look to find something smaller and lighter.

Gun Review: Glock 44

In early 2020, Glock finally introduced a handgun chambered in the world’s most-popular cartridge: the .22 LR, giving us the Glock 44.

Steyr Zephyr II Reviewed

There’s merit in the notion of starter rigs. Maximum tech and longed-for glitz are easy to justify from the “want” perspective, but those things can get in the way of establishing actual competence in any undertaking.

Daniel Defense DDM4V7 Pro Reviewed

There are a lot of good modern sporting rifles out there, but practically none will put every single penny of your investment to work like the DDM4V7 Pro.

Glock G45 Reviewed

We concur with some commentators that Glock’s new G45 is a series of modest departures, but that won’t keep it from being—just maybe—the best all-around Glock yet.

JP Rifles: GMR-15 Pistol Caliber Carbine Reviewed

A not-so-new notion seems especially apropos to our JP pistol caliber carbine—the only thing better than a clean GMR-15 is a dirty one. And the more, and more recently dirtied, the better.

Henry Lever Action .410 Shotgun Revew

To say that lever-action firearms are of iconic American stature risks, to borrow from poet Alexander Pope, damning them with faint praise.

2A Armament Xanthos-Lite and Balios Lite Reviewed

Lightweight and light duty are easy to equate, but imputing that notion to either the Xanthos-Lite 6.5 mm Creedmoor or the Balios Lite .22 Long Rifle from 2A Armament would be a heavy-duty mistake.

Smith & Wesson 686 Plus Review

Whether the Performance Center 686 Plus beguiles with beauty or performance is a nettlesome question—right up to the point, that is, when you decide you don’t care what the answer is.

Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD Reviewed

We posit that “routine” should not be confused with “boring,” especially when it means a rifle that runs with the unassuming excellence of the iconic Model 700.
