Audacity, optimism, bravery, insanity, intrepidity, recklessness, cojones and chutzpah are a few that come immediately to mind. But whatever the motivating force at Thompson/Center (read: Smith & Wesson or American […]
With the one-year anniversary of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School murders approaching, Broward County officials have been considering how to prevent a recurrence.

About a week ago in Indianapolis, a man was arriving home around 9:00 p.m. after running a few errands when he was jumped by two armed attackers, right on his front stoop. The two suspects forced the man through the door, pistol-whipped him, shot him in the leg and demanded cash. While this was happening, […]
I’m going to be frank. Between all the handgun options, determining the best way to carry, finding the time (and money) to take concealed carry permit courses and the sheer anxiety of becoming a full-time concealed carrier takes, it can easily become overwhelming to the newcomer.

A Walther and a pair of spare mags make up this pocket dump. Walther manufactures some good, reliable guns – guns capable of solid accuracy. What caught my eye is that the spare mags don’t appear to have holsters or pouches of their own. If you carry spare mags do you just drop them […]
22-year-old Marcel Steele, the owner of a New Jersey home recording studio, is being charged in the killing of an aspiring rapper – but he claims it was self-defense.

Earlier this year I got a sneak peak at the Paul Howe Package GLOCKs customized by Wilson Combat. Wilson embargoed any stories at the time, but I got to shoot the G19s and G26s of these models all weekend. They all shot well, EXTREMELY well for small GLOCKs, and I left wanting one of the […]
Big Horn Armory’s got a new twist on Jeff Cooper’s venerable Scout rifle design.
