About Minuteman Times

Honest firearms reviews, expert guides, and the best deals — by shooters, for shooters.

Our Mission

The Minuteman Times is dedicated to supporting Second Amendment rights while promoting firearms safety education. We provide gun owners and prospective owners with the information needed to select appropriate firearms and use them safely.

We believe that responsible gun ownership starts with good information. Our reviews are based on hands-on testing — every firearm we review goes through a minimum 500-round test protocol.

What We Do

Hands-On Reviews

Every gun we review gets a minimum 500-round test. We evaluate accuracy, reliability, ergonomics, and value.

Expert Guides

From how to build an AR-15 to understanding ammo types, our guides help you learn from experienced shooters.

Deal Tracking

Our algorithm checks prices across 20+ retailers every 12 hours so you never miss a deal on firearms and ammo.

Editorial Policy

We use affiliate links to fund our operations. This never affects our editorial recommendations — we've given negative reviews to products from our biggest affiliates. Our deal-hunting algorithm tracks prices independently, and our reviews are based solely on hands-on testing.
