The Truth About Guns

This week we are taking a look at bipods. Yes, those things that the media somehow thinks transforms a garden variety hunting rifle into a sniper rifle. They actually think this. Reader and TTAG poster ‘Manse Jolly’ asked this: “Ok, I have a long range shooting question. Is an Atlas bipod really worth the cost […]

Senator Joe Manchin, whom you may recall from his star turn promoting the failed Manchin-Toomey universal background check push after Sandy Hook, is still busy in the Senate. He’s the “centrist” West Virginia Democrat who, in a 50-50 world, is described by many as the upper chamber’s most powerful Senator. But if those on the […]

[Rep. Sheila Jackson] Lee’s bill so far has no cosponsors, and it is unlikely to make much progress. But it reflects a broader mindset in the Democratic Party, which used to at least pay lip service to the Second Amendment but lately talks and acts as if it does not exist. After promising to respect […]

(This article originally appeared at ryancleckner.com and is reprinted here with permission.) By Ryan M. Cleckner The number one question I have been asked all week is, “Should I use an NFA trust?” People interested in silencers, short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, machine-guns, or “any other weapons” usually consider whether they should use an […]

Slings are one of those things that can tell you all you need to know about how seriously a person takes their shooting. In my 17 years of competitive rifle shooting, both at local ranges and at places like Camp Perry, I have come to understand that the mindset around your sling is a snapshot […]

By Terry Spencer, Associated Press The child pornography suspect who gunned down two South Florida FBI agents this week somehow knew exactly when they were approaching his apartment.

If the Speaker wasn’t packing, why did she walk around the security screening measures she’d put up outside the House chambers? Or is the new rule that only Republicans will be fined for bypassing Nancy’s metal detector? Republicans on the House Administration Committee sent a letter to Acting Sergeant-at-Arms Timothy Blodgett on Friday requesting the fine, arguing […]

When Ruger launched the Ruger-57 a year ago (TTAG review HERE), we were taken quite by surprise. Nobody foresaw this FN Five-seveN competitor coming, but it was a great news for fans of the 5.7x28mm cartridge who are interested in a more affordable, more approachable way to fire the little hot rod round. The only […]

Remember, no one knows what’s better for you or your children than the state. Being a mouth-breathing, gap-toothed, deplorable insurrectionist gun owner, you can’t possibly be entrusted with the responsibility of knowing if, when, or how your children should be introduced to the proper use of firearms. Fortunately we have wise, concerned, elected officials in […]

Today we’re looking at a question posed by a TTAG reader, likely inspired by the dwindling supplies of modern powder. Reader Jesse W. asked: “Is it possible to use black powder in reloads for a modern semi-auto pistol/revolver/bolt action rifle/semi-auto carbine/pump shotgun?” This is an interesting question that doesn’t have an easy answer. The short […]

The folks at Dead Air Armament, Gemtech and Silencer Shop have gotten together with ATF to create a Form 4 generator. The process automates some of the data entry involved with ATF processing forms. Makes sense right? Automating the regulatory process should make the government more efficient. Pundits are prognosticating processing times will drop. Yes, well . […]

Lots of learned media members and assorted Twitterati have opined that the Bidenharris administration is nothing more than a third Obama administration. Or perhaps Obama on steroids. Whatever.

I’ve joined the dark side. I’ve ditched my 1911 for a Glock 19. Since then, I’ve developed a disdain for anything that deviates from that level of perfection, from pasta to pistols. Don’t judge me; I’m going to meetings for it. It’s so bad that I’ve been scornfully wondering why Gaston Glock’s handgun makers would […]

No AR? No problem, according to Savage/Stevens. Both of these Model 320 ‘Security’ shotguns are in stock, and both of them can be yours for the princely MSRP of $540. That’s right, the MSRP is only $270 each. Actual street price is about $250. Cheap pumps have a lot to recommend them when it comes […]
