The Truth About Guns

Lucian Truscott is on a roll. First he was expressing shock and horror at the availability of long range bolt action rifles.

Media and political phenom Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has an answer for everything. Don’t believe it? Just ask her.

Back when I was running for a seat on the NRA Board of Directors, I had my good friend Oleg Volk do some photo work for the campaign. We got to talking about guns, of course, and I brought up the handy Kel-Tec SU-16C that I keep as a truck gun. He mentioned he had a SU16A1-EL […]

Yes it’s another Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0…this one is in .40 S&W, though. Cue requisite “short and weak” comments. Here’s the deal, though: .40 S&W still has a place in the self-defense world.

Being the dog-crazy people we are, we watched the first night of the Westminster Kennel Club dog show last night as we do every year. We don’t pay much attention to the toy group, but the parade of herding, non-sporting and hound group dog breeds is always entertaining. We couldn’t help but notice the official […]

Finally. Logical talk about protecting students from a school principal: Should an armed intruder ever get onto the campus of Manatee School for the Arts in Palmetto, they will not have [a] fair fight on their hands.

This GLOCK 19 has All the Aftermarkets on it…well, at least it has a red dot and light. The red dot is a Trijicon RMR which is, I must say, an awesome red dot. It’s well-made and the clarity is fantastic. The WML is a Streamlight which is another company I’ve had a lot of […]

Now with extra “lethal”… The near-term future machine gun of the U.S. military is lighter, more lethal at longer distances, equipped with artificial intelligence and able to integrate apps, according to an interview with two senior military leaders.

Jeremy got a sneak preview of the new quad-stack 33-round Kel-Tec CP33 .22LR handgun (read his review here). But I had to stop by the Kel-Tec booth at SHOT and get a look at one for myself. Oh, and here’s the new KS7 shotgun that Kris mentioned in the video.

In today’s edition of “Are you paying attention, AR builders?”… Women in red T-shirts, some carrying young children, fanned out across the Maryland State House complex to press lawmakers to pass a series of bills that would make it more difficult to obtain guns.

Powder River Precision, perhaps best known for their custom Springfield XD and XDM drop-in triggers, also make a nice range of aftermarket parts and butter-smooth triggers for other guns like the Ruger LC9s and now a 2 lb drop-in trigger for the Ruger 10/22. And, we hope soon, one for the Ruger PC Carbine, too. […]

We stopped by Kel-Tec’s SHOT Show booth to check out their new, compact KS7 12 gauge shotgun. The M7 bears more than a passing resemblance to an M41A pulse rifle from the movie Aliens. Where are Ripley and the queen?

This daily carry shows a Glock 19 with a few aftermarket additions including an RMR and a Streamlight WML with a laser. Here’s the question. Do you think this particular WML is enough for a carry gun since it has a laser or do you think the RMR is a good partner for it? Conversely, […]
