Where is the best place (besides here) for objective gun reviews?

I always love hickock45 but he for the most part pistols. He does also try to give the benefit of the doubt sometimes. I'm not sure I've heard him say he flat out dislikes something.

None of the big blogs/youtube/social media or major publications are going to be objective. Like someone else mentioned I would just google it and stick to other forums with regular people. However, it should be noted people are mostly likely to speak up only if there is a problem. Few will start a thread just to praise a gun, but they tend to chime in with good experiences when others ask or are having issues. Also, not every gun is going to be for everyone. For instance, there are a lot of people who hate Glock and speak out against them, but their pistols aren't shite. Hard to go wrong with one of the big name brands in a gun that fits you well.

Coming from a kid who fancied himself a firearm enthusiast (every cent I saved as a kid went towards a new CO2 pistol or .22), but didn't have the fortune of having a dad that hunted or a pawpaw, a lot of what I've learned of firearms has come from extensive online research and reviews, and just plain trial and error. Prop pretty much nailed it. Read forums, compare what you read from forum to forum, you will see patterns that will rarely let you down.
