Review: North American Arms PUG

Range Report: The Gallery Gun Reimagined: Henry’s Pump Octagon
At a cursory glance, Henry’s Pump Octagon looks very much like old gallery guns—such as the 1890 and 1906 series that Winchester once produced.

Range Report: Kel Tec PMR-30
The PMR-30 is a unique and highly interesting handgun. This is a polymer frame pistol with a steel slide and barrel that works on the simple blowback principle. The first thing you notice after the space age appearance is that the pistol weighs less than 14 ounces. Even with a fully loaded 30-round magazine, the piece weighs but 20 ounces. Yes, 20 ounces for a 30-shot pistol!

With good accuracy, light weight, and a 30-round magazine capacity, this handgun became the ultimate rimfire plinker.
