Remington’s R1 pistols have been around a while, being introduced in 2010 as a basic service-style build. In some respects, the R1 was a re-entry into the pistol market by the company, which produced pistols for use in World War I. More than 21,000 of the .45 ACP-chambered handguns were delivered by what was then […]
By NRA-ILA Over the holiday weekend, a conservative “taxpayer watchdog” group sent out an email to its contact list which gave the impression that NRA-ILA does not oppose “red flag” legislation in Texas. One wonders what the organization hoped to accomplish by confusing and attempting to divide the gun community in this way. Let’s set the record straight: NRA-ILA submitted written […]
By LKB Reading the tea leaves of what may be going on behind the tightly closed doors of the Supreme Court is always a dicey proposition. However, it’s becoming increasingly clear to me that the Court is indeed gearing up for a major overhaul of Second Amendment jurisprudence. As TTAG readers will recall, the Court […]
While virtually all gun owners act responsibly and ethically with their guns, sometimes “that guy” can’t do either. We call them squirrels in our concealed carry classes. Anyway, one of these squirrels nearly killed himself with a negligent discharge during a medical office visit in Peoria last week. The man carried a Cobra .38 Special […]
Stumbled across this Cosmopolitan magazine piece from 2016 and…there are no words… “…most younger people have similar views on issues like sex and birth control so those are generally less controversial topics. But a lot of people my age have different views on guns, so it’s something that I’d be less likely to talk about […]
Today we have a Glock 34 with a Surefire WML and a Trijicon RMR. Red dots continue to gain a following on carry guns and the RMR is a fantastic option. How about you guys, do you prefer irons or red dots? If you prefer red dots which one do you use and how much […]
The FBI got involved earlier this month when a Washington State law enforcement officer, Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich, received death threats because he vowed not to enforce the state’s new gun control laws. He’s one of about a dozen Washington sheriffs who believe the new laws that passed in November via a controversial ballot measure are […]
There’s unquestionably a dedicated cadre of CZ fanboys amongst our readership as well as in the general gun-owning community. There are plenty of very good reasons for that. The Czech pistols are time-tested, well-made, ultra-reliable and reasonably priced. In short you get a lot for your gun-buying dollar with a CZ handgun. I’ve never counted […]
“If I knew I was going to have a gunfight, I wouldn’t go.” – Jeff Gonzales The Professional Development class with Jeff Gonzales is a one to two-hour seminar tied directly to the monthly Gunfighter Matches at the Range at Austin. Each seminar focuses on some area that needs improvement based on the performance of the shooters in the […]
I was tipped off yesterday morning about something of note to gun owners. I was told that Oregon-based Benchmade Knives was destroying firearms for the Oregon City, Oregon Police Department. A post appeared on the OCPD Facebook page (since taken down) with a few images and a statement of thanks to Benchmade: The images […]
Last month, four Houston Police officers were shot and wounded during a no-knock assault on a home while serving a drug warrant. A fifth officer sustained a knee injury. Two suspects were killed in the shootout when about a dozen narcotics officers raided a home in southeast Houston in order to serve a search warrant. As police […]
At least they’re being honest: People think guns will never be taken away. But there is a tipping point and I think we’ve reached it. The time for half measures is long gone. And now guns will be banned. Apparently all gun owners are amoral ghouls: Is it the 1% who are the bad guys? […]
