Hawks Eye Guns

Remember when Sean gets into it and waxes about how he can't see a use or customer for this or that? Yeah, us to, then he winds up owning or chasing one down. 

Sean went back to the well and bought another piece of shotgun history that no one asked him to do of course he can't shut up about it. Jake of course gives him trouble about it. 

Weatherby makes a big splash in the waterfowl vertical in 2024 with the Sorix. It goes right after the segment leaders and makes a good showing while doing it. We are impressed and can't wait to get our hands on one.

Join us for a cast filled with the childhood of boys everywhere in the form of Han Solo's blaster - that really works! We're not kidding this thing is awesome and for way more money than you might want to spend you can have one too!

A lot is going on in the last bit for us here at Hawks Eye Guns. Sean has four new additions to his collection and a new piece of sweet gear to boot! He is very excited about it all. He is less stoked for the apology he has to make this cast. 

Kicking off Jake's new format we begin with the tragic tale of Remington's 105 CTi. It's terrible, hard to find, and funny-looking so of course Sean is obsessed with it. Then in better form, we talk about more desirable guns that are equally discontinued.

So we settle in for over an hour and a half of gun talk this time on the cast. Okay, not entirely an hour and a half. We did drift a bit talking about Halle Berry and her dogs in JW3 and then to dogs but we had a strong start with a solid hour of guns and nothing but guns!

There was a flurry of activity for Jake and I with the cooler weather. Sean went shooting a bunch and fixed up an older gun with Dura-Blue. Jake switched up his HK for the smaller version and we both have seen prices come down on polly-framed, striker-fired rigs. 

We normally don't do this in several respects. The first is you will hear this exact same cast on Gentlemen's Soapbox as well as here as the topics mostly apply to both channels. If you listen to one you'll hear the show on the other channel this time out. The other abnormal thing is we really try to steer clear of politics here at Hawk's Eye Guns but the governor of New Mexico is making that very difficult at the moment. 

We test out a few new guns this week. In Jake's case one that has been sitting in the safe for a year and he finally gets to shoot and Sean meets the new Cheetah 80x at a range. It is an interesting time but be warned the Yc9 has finally been released and both of us can hardly contain ourselves with excitement. 

It's getting into summer here at Hawk's Eye Guns and we are exploring all kinds of things which leads us back to our roots.

We cover a wide range of topics this week on the show. From A pair of new'ish Buckmarks to an HK 22L that seems to run clean as a whistle we cover a lot of bases this week. 

We had to go see JW4 and after we saw it we had to talk about it! Any fan of gun-fu and firearms would have to agree with this. So we did and here it is. This isn't our standard cast so prepare for some movie geeking out on this one!

It's quite a thing when you get something you saw at Shot Show a few months ago sitting in your hand but that's exactly what happened in this case. Yep, we got a Henry Homesteader and we are stoked about it!

We take a look and what Jake wants next and why then talk about the newest editions of what's coming to the 23/24 shelves soon.

We start off geeking out about the bevy of screen grabs from the John Wick 4 trailer and the guns he's got his hands on this time out. Then we roll into Sean's new member of the family in the form of the very popular CZ1012!

We take a look at the new goodies presented at Shot Show this year and sound off on how we think they will be received and which ones we think we may just have to get a hold of when they hit shelves later this year. Then Jake tears a hole in Sean's calm with the new Bond Arms offering coming later this year. 

We swing into Shot Show season here in 2023 and brace for all the things we probably won't be getting until 2024! We also get some follow-ups on emails and Sean gets to go shooting after a month of waiting.

For the first very time, we get to answer and chat about questions you've asked us! That's right, our email is open, you guys asked - and we answer. That's how it works this time out on the show!

We had some extra audio for the last few casts that I strung together along with some outtakes and just me and Jake messing around so I bundled them together and punched out a cast for you guys. Happy Holidays and we'll see you in 2023!

We get a great question from you guys about selecting your concealed carry option on today's show then spend a good deal of time talking about what decisions you need to make and how to make them along with what we carry and how we came to that choice. Join us for a completely great discussion!

Sean put the Henry .44mag lever action carbine to use recently (or tried to) and let us know how it went and what went down. 

This week Jake returns as our duo talks about the Stoeger P3000 pump action twelve gauge and how it stacks up to expectations and other less expensive entry-level guns. 

There's a lot going on in the marketplace today with the Remington 870. Both old and new versions of it are finding their place and that spot is evolving. Today Sean goes over some of the things that means and how he's adjusted his 870 to the task ahead of it. 

This time out on Hawk's Eye Sean manages to get his hands on a piece of Remington history and can't wait to tell you about it! 

Sean gets a G3c on the cheap and is surprised at how good it really is. Jake lusts after things he can't have and the boys discuss whats going on with current trends in the market. Join us!

Sean and Jake take a look at the current state of the rules and what we think is happening and what needs to happen with 2A related issues in the days ahead. Join us!

This time on the cast Sean completes his Glock 19 conversion kit and Jake only has one Sig p365 left! We also get into old trucks, Henry recalls, and cheap optics today on the show - join us!

We go back to a core principle of why the cast was started in the first place this time out and talk about target shooting and sport shooting is fun - how did we lose that? Also, Sean fires a unicorn Jake has been drooling over. Join us!

This week on the show Sean gives the rundown on Jake's recently transferred p30sk, Jake sells a gun and gets a job offer and we chat about current ammo prices. 

Sean finally lands a Beretta Cheetah and is over the moon about it! Then Jake comes up with a brainchild and swaps the 92fs Sean has for the p30sk and everybody is getting something new. It's a good week here at Hawk's Eye.

Sean takes the family out to do some target shooting and winds up selling his mom a shotgun - it was a weird day. Meanwhile Jake is waiting for the next thing he has to have in order to sell Sean his p30sk. 

Sean can't shoot great this week and Bwana ate it up. Join us as we cover that, our chase of the newest guns to hit the market as well as current trends. 

Jake and Sean talk a bit about their current favorites and current trends in the market. 

We get our hands on a Mossberg 940 Pro today on the show. It's a leap forward in shotgun design and the guys talk about what that actually means in real-world terms for you the shooter. We also chat about the continuing story of the SDS Imports warranty issue. Join us!

Jake gets his hands on an HK P30 and is a little giddy about it. We talk about Sig's release of the p365 380. Then we learn that SDS ghosts Sean and take a look at Challenger brand shotgun shells. Its a busy week!

Sean's SDS Imports AR-T02's barrel bulges and blows the choke out of itself on week two. We aren't sure what to think on that one but it's an interesting story for sure. We also go over some rigs we are looking for and what we've got left in the collection and what we don't. Join us for quite a story!

This week we cover the latest we've seen from Shot Show 2022 and the products that piqued our interest. Sean gets a new budget firearm and seems to be quite enamored with it. However, without a single doubt in our mind, the darling of our eye fell upon a single entry into the 2022 lineup that is as magnificent as it is ridiculous and we must have one! 

This time out on Hawk's Eye Guns we cover new firearms coming to markets with the new shot show and Jake wonders how successful the new 30 Super Carry caliber will be. Join us as we geek out about what's about to hit the market!

Jake and Sean go over recent purchases (Jake), what they are lusting over (Sean), and some new additions rolling off the lines. They cover some modern trends in firearms and ammo availability in the new year join us!

Sean recounts his trip to the local big-box store on Black Friday weekend and what a mistake that was followed by some highlights of the upcoming year in firearm design and releases. Join us!

Sean finally caught his white whale in the form of a 1959 Ithaca Model 37R. It's beautiful it is vintage and has a wicked-looking stock on it. We aren't sure why he loves Ithaca guns so much but perhaps now he'll quit itching like an addict and switch to something else... but we doubt it. We also cover ammo prices and Jake almost buys a .40 cal.

This week we go over what felt recoil is and how to figure out what's right for you. Jake went shooting this week and has some thoughts on sights and rifle ammunition. Join us for almost two hours of talk about firearms!   

This week Sean had a relapse and made another purchase. This time he got his hands on an A300 Ultima but had to let another one go in order to make the trade. Jake and Sean talk cowboy guns and oddly enough Browning Hi-Power's. 

This week on the cast, we check out the Benelli Nova up close and personal and see if this all-black field gun lives up to both its brand and the hype heaped upon it. Join us as we talk about this and the guns coming next!

This time out on the show we cover the new (to him) shotgun Sean is getting. We chat about the fact Jake has remained strong, then tackle why it is that Texas is even still standing considering they now have constitutional carry now in effect. 

This week upon a listener request - we cover shotgun chokes: what they do, how they work, can you fire slugs through them, and what to expect when you do. We also go over what Jake and Sean want next and how they came to that decision. 

CZ releases its newest edition the P-10m that Sean thinks isn't very micro at all. The 51 featherlight repairs for other folks seem to keep happening and Sean wants a Cheetah. 

Kimber has released their new "mirco" 9mm that is huge for a micro and exactly the same dimensions as a sub-compact. It is completely not a Glock clone as we suspected but something else entirely. Also Jake's Walther PDP came in and he loves it and Sean wants to be The Man With The Golden Gun. All this an more on this episode of Hawk's Eye guns!

Remember when we said that we were going to lay off buying new rigs for a while? Yeah, that didn't happen. Sean finished his rifle build and got a Ruger Security-9 Compact and Jake went off the rails and sold a few guns then went right into ordering a Walther PDP. Apparently, we can't help it. 

This week on the show we start out with Jake buying some guns he probably shouldn't have - then he buys another one he REALLY shouldn't have. Sean is then saved by a heaping load of shame and we end on the start of an epic Savage Axis rifle build. Join us for the fun!
