◎ Round Count

Every firearm review documents exact round count. No range trip is under 500 rounds.

◈ No Manufacturer Loans

We buy what we review at retail price. No loaners, no press samples, no performance incentives.

▲ Failure Documentation

Every stoppage, malfunction, and failure is reported. We do not "break in" malfunctions away without noting them.

Scores are weighted: reliability (40%), accuracy (25%), ergonomics (20%), value (15%). No grade inflation.

We accept contributor reviews that meet our documentation standard: minimum 500 rounds, photos, and a scored rubric.
