SLD, a retired gent from Michigan sends us his “Small town sultry summer evening carry.” While I love his description, for me “everyday carry” is pretty much everyday unless I’m going to someplace non-permissive. But heh, more power to Mr. SLD. Love the classic Colt Detective Special with Stag grips. I find them appealing, and […]
I have a love-hate relationship with Armslist. I love the idea, but I hate the scammers, the guys trying to trade tattoos for guns, and the fellas who can’t seem to ever meet at the time and place agreed upon. Occasionally, though, you find a deal or an oddity you can’t say no to and […]
By Larry Keane Animal rights activists are at it again and now they’ve enlisted the support of New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson. The Nonhuman Rights Project Inc.’s latest target is the Bronx Zoo. The offending act is that zookeepers there deign to care for two grown elephants, Happy and Patty, in captivity. Apparently, […]
Chicago has a crime problem. And a criminal justice system problem that’s just as bad. In fact, the two go hand in hand as criminals feel emboldened by an utter lack of meaningful consequences to gun criminal behavior. A case this week exemplifies this perfectly. A drunk father, holding a loaded, stolen 9mm handgun threatens […]
The House of Representatives has moved to block the Trump Administration from easing its small arms export policy last week. Right now, exporting small arms like Ruger 10/22 rifles is treated the same as F-35 fighters. The Trump Administration wants to change that. Or, they say they do. From Reuters… House votes to block Trump […]
We present the following without further comment. Shooting things in games is intrinsically compelling. Firing, watching something blow up, and then seeing our score ping higher on the screen creates an exciting feedback loop that gives us immediate agency and power. Shooters are the most popular genre of video game in the U.S. and account for […]
Oregon Guy sends his “My EDC” for today’s pocket dump of the day, courtesy Everyday Carry. That’s quite an upgraded GLOCK 43 with Streamlight 69270 TLR-6 Tactical Pistol Light with Red Laser. Glad to see his sights aren’t standard. Probably some sort of tritium night sights or a fiber optic sight. He writes that he […]
It was at this past SHOT Show that I first came up with the idea to do an in-depth series on the National Matches, particularly the President’s 100 Match. I’ve written about the Civilian Marksmanship Program sports before, but my experience there was much more in the vein of my own interest. In this six-part […]
With the MC1sc subcompact 9X19mm, Mossberg has stepped into a crowed field of popular pistols. Subcompact 9mms have been great sellers, with the demand for easily concealable power showing no signs of abating anytime soon. With the MC1sc, the company often cited as the best value in shotguns presents a polymer framed, striker fired subcompact […]
In response to popular demand and internet outrage over a naming contest gone sideways (again), Hi-Point has acquiesced and is now shipping the amazing YEET CANNON G1! Or is it G1 YEET CANNON? Whichever it is, it’s a temporary and limited solution until the brand officially adopts YC9 (Yeet Cannon 9mm) as the name of […]
By Dr. Michael S. Brown Sitting in a place of honor on my bookshelf is a copy of The Best Defense, written by Robert Waters in 1998. This classic describes fourteen cases where ordinary citizens used guns to save their lives from violent attackers. I’ve kept it around as a reminder to stay vigilant and to […]
This is what passes for progress in the gun-controlled paradise that is New Jersey. The state has finally repealed a law that required all guns sold in the Garden State to be so-called smart guns once smart guns are available for sale anywhere in the United States. That law acted as a poison pill for […]
