Reader Comments of the Week

“You forgot to add the Beretta ARX100 which has the gas piston, folding stock and is very ambidextrous and has been out for years. It’s big brother, the ARX160, has been a staple of the Italian Army.”

– JTROSSE, in response to 10 Best AR-15 Alternatives (5.56 NATO Semi-Auto Rifles)

“I’ve had the same problem; I have two compounds, both of which have been collecting dust since I received my first recurve. I can’t get enough of the “stick and string” because it’s simply so amazing.”

– CHRIS, in response to Traditional or Compound — Which Bow is Right for You?

“’There is no more proven pistol than the Beretta 92”. Ahh, 1911? If someone would ask: What is the most proven pistol ever? My guess is the “poll numbers” would put the 1911 not only at the top, but at a huge margin to the #2 spot. Not saying the Beretta 92 isn’t in the running, just believe the answer to the most proven pistol question, would be hands down, the 1911.”

– ROCK IT, in response to Review: Beretta 92X — A Step Forward
