The Truth About Guns

By Alex Ooley Many states around the country, like Virginia, have been making a push to implement stringent gun control measures that include, among other things, universal background checks, magazine capacity limits, and so-called “assault weapons” bans. These attempts to regulate firearms are nothing new, but the efforts to implement these sorts of laws and regulations […]

By Marlon Knapp My compadres who work with me at the Chisholm Trail Antique Gun Association check-in table have asked me to compile a short tutorial on gun show etiquette. We understand you’re excited about going to the gun show and we are excited to see you. Those of us who work gun shows (not […]

Arizona Democrats have filed yet another “assault weapon” ban bill. This one is Senate Bill 1625. At first glance, with two notable stand-outs, it’s pretty much par for the gun-grabbing course; a ban on assaulty-looking guns with grandfathering. But the first notable item is just how inclusive this bill is. All semiautomatic rifles that take […]

The Remington 700 CP – for “Chassis Pistol” – is a handheld, er…gun from Remington, which was on the floor for SHOT Show 2020 (it was actually announced a year ago). It’s seems a stretch to call it a “pistol” when it’s so obviously a stockless rifle, but naming conventions and ATF regulations being what […]

A new addition to the Howa 1500 family, the Howa H-S Precision Carbon Fiber was on the floor of the 2020 SHOT Show. The H-S Precision Carbon Fiber is an extension of the Howa H-S Precision product family, which beds a Howa 1500 action to an HS Precision stock. The original edition put a barreled […]

  At SHOT Show’s Range Day we all put some rounds downrange with Franklin Armory‘s new binary trigger for the Ruger 10/22. So much fun! Frankly, a binary trigger for the 10/22 makes far more sense to me than for the other firearms Franklin makes ’em for, so I’d say it’s about time. Three-way selector, […]

One of the first stops we made when we got to the SHOT Show range this morning was the GLOCK bay. Like just about everyone else, we wanted to shoot the new GLOCK G44 .22LR pistol. The new handgun drew plenty of attention as you can tell from the background noise in this video. GLOCK […]

Trying to judge the most anti-gun Democrat in the 2020 presidential nomination field is like trying to determine which which TV talking head is the most insipid and annoying. Each one is so qualified and the differences are so slight that comparisons are futile. But with media clowns like Eric Swalwell and Robert Francis O’Rourke […]

I should have turned this rifle back in already, but I can’t. Not yet. I’m just not ready to stop shooting the Vudoo Gun Work’s Sinister. The Sinister is a precision rimfire rifle. It is as well made as the best centerfire precision rifles in the world. As such, it is not cheap. With an […]

By Virgil Caldwell Colt enjoys perhaps the greatest name recognition of any gun maker. Iconic handguns and the uses they have been put to in times of war and trouble are part of the reason. Solid performing handguns is another. While I prefer the Government Model 1911 .45 for concealed carry and personal defense, I […]

Proposed laws requiring the reporting of lost or stolen firearms are becoming popular across the United States. The latest example is in Missouri, where State Representative-Elect Rasheen Aldridge, D-St. Louis, has pre-filed House Bill 1824, to require reporting of lost or stolen firearms within 72 hours of discovering the loss. These laws are generally pushed […]

I own a lot of knives. More than any healthy person probably should (and definitely more than my wife should know about). One of my favorites, though, and certainly one of the more unique blades in my regular carry rotation, is the Sandrin carbon fiber/titanium TCK . This blade is a true thing of beauty. […]

By Larry Keane Gun control advocates have found a new way to spike the football, so to speak. Instead of standing in the end zone celebrating a victory, they’re mugging for the cameras from their own three-yard line. Hardly a win when they’re not even close to where they want to be and certainly when […]

We’ve all heard this load of pure, pungent Oscar Mayer processed meat product for decades. Federal law (in the form of the Dickey Amendment) prevents research into “gun violence!” The Civilian Disarmament Industrial Complex loves to claim that we can’t possibly do anything about the (non-existent) gun violence epidemic in this country if we can’t […]

It’s one thing for when it happens in a state that has just shifted from red to blue.

By Austin Knudsen Is the Smtih & Wesson 1006 still the best 10mm pistol ever made? I never really got on the 10mm train. Sure, I’d read the articles and knew all of the history. The 1986 Florida FBI shootout. Colonel Jeff Cooper. And the cult gun of all cult guns, the Bren Ten. It […]

By David Schlake While most hunters know how to field dress a deer, many don’t know how or don’t want to fully process their own, prompting them to seek professional assistance. For those who do it on their own, the process is messy and time-consuming. And, for those who pay someone else to do it, it […]
