Nick Hall is a firearms expert with over 35 years behind the trigger. He started competitive shooting at 11, won his first match that same year, and hasn't stopped since. He runs USA Gun Shop, where he tracks 830+ gun safes and thousands of firearms across 200+ retailers. Every review on this site comes from hands-on testing, not press releases. If he hasn't shot it, he doesn't review it. Nick's work has been featured in Forbes, Playboy, and Tatler Asia. He's known for honest, blunt assessments that cut through marketing fluff. A $200 budget pistol gets the same straight verdict as a $3,000 precision rifle. Reach Nick directly at nick@usa-gun-shop.com.
