Six-Shooter RatingAsk the GunslingerDeals

High Noon

Two products. Same criteria. One winner called at the end. No "it depends." If it depends, we tell you on what, and then we still call it.

The rules of the duel

Both products go through the same Carry Test, side by side, same week, same belt. Same criteria written down before we start, so the loser can't say we moved the goalposts.

Scoring

Five criteria, chosen per category. Each is a round. The product with more rounds wins. Ties go to the cheaper one, because your money matters more than our pride.
