Glock 22 Review: 600 Rounds With America’s Old Police Pistol (2026)
Police departments dumped the Glock 22 when they went back to 9mm, and the used market never recovered. We put 600 rounds through a Gen5 to see what $430 actually buys.
Taurus 856 Review: 500 Rounds With the Six-Shot Snub (2026)
The Taurus 856 gives you six rounds where every J-frame gives you five, for about half the price of a Smith 442. We put 500 rounds through one, 150 of them +P.
Walther P22 Review: 800 Rounds and the Ammo Truth (2026)
The Walther P22 is the best-shaped .22 trainer you can buy for $242, and the fussiest about ammunition. We put 800 rounds through one to show exactly how much that matters.

Chiappa Rhino Review: 420 Rounds With the Upside-Down .357 (2026)
The Chiappa Rhino fires from the bottom of the cylinder to kill muzzle flip, and it works. We put 420 rounds through the 200DS to see whether the engineering justifies GP100 money for a two-inch revolver.
Springfield Kuna Review: 900 Rounds Through the Roller-Delayed 9mm (2026)
We put 900 rounds through the Springfield Armory Kuna, the roller-delayed 9mm that undercuts the SIG MPX by $500 and the B&T APC9 by $1,600. Full specs, range results and how it stacks up against the CZ Scorpion.
