By NSSF The SHOT Show wasn’t just a showcase for the firearms industry. State leaders are competing for firearms businesses, too. “It’s not just a matter of saying we believe in the Second Amendment. We live the outdoors.” said Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on a SHOT Show TV appearance with Georgia’s Bert Brantley Chief Operating […]
So the Laugo Alien, being imported and sold by Lancer Systems, is the best handgun I have ever shot. Unfortunately the first 500 Signature Edition guns are $5,000, so I’m pretty much crushed. The Laugo Alien is the flattest, smoothest, fastest shooting 9mm out there. Machining, fit, finish, and ergonomics are top notch, and the […]
Last week, Project Veritas released a series of undercover videos showing Kyle Jurek, a paid staffer for the Bernie Sanders campaign in Iowa, calling for the creation of gulags and violence against Trump supporters – and by extension gun owners – and some Democrats. Now this week, another paid Bernie staffer has called for more […]
SB Tactical‘s FS1913 pistol stabilizing brace is one of the lightest and sleekest braces on the market, pairing beautifully with all sorts of rear Picatinny rail-equipped, large format pistols. It’s quick and easy to fold out of the way, adding less than an inch to the gun’s non-braced overall length, ready at any time to […]
From the AP: The Virginia Senate approved legislation Wednesday that would allow authorities to take guns away from people deemed dangerous to themselves or others, as the state moves closer to joining a growing number of states enacting so-called “red flag” gun laws. The Democratic-led Senate voted for the bill despite fierce resistance from Republican […]
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, […]
This is TTAG’s weekly roundup of legal and legislative news affecting guns, the gun business and gun owners’ rights. For a deeper dive into the topics discussed here, check out this week in gun rights at FPC. Blueprints for 3D printable guns remain in limbo The Executive Branch has notified Congress of its intent to transfer […]
Palmetto State Armory is a company that doesn’t seem to be scared of making weird stuff a reality. They started with their AK-V, beating Kalashnikov USA to the 9mm AK pistol and rifle market. Better yet, they chose the very aesthetically pleasing CZ Scorpion magazines as their base mag. They didn’t stop there though. This […]
If you love the smell of burning plastic (in a properly ventilated room, of course), then the OTDefense line of stippling products will be as familiar as creatively shaped polymer. Tyler Kee used an OTDefense Firearms Stippling Kit (five tips, $49) four years ago for a thorough TTAG review. Find it here. That same kit […]
Second Amendment activists have, over the years, gone to great lengths to obscure the difference between gun rights and genuine civil liberties, especially the freedom of speech. After Virginia Governor Ralph Northam banned weapons from the square, gun-rights groups rushed to court to seek invalidation of the order. According to news reports, their lawyers “argued […]
Ruger may have gone back to the future when it chambered its new-for-2020 Ruger-57 handgun in 5.7x28mm (aka 5.7×28 FN), a round that has mostly languished for 30 years, but which is seeing a blip of interest in recent introductions. Developed by FN back in 1989, the 5.7x28mm cartridge is similar in shape to the […]
KelTec was quietly showing off an integrally suppressed SUB2000 prototype at SHOT Show’s Range Day, and it was a huge hit. For obvious reasons. The folding, lightweight 9mm carbine is a super handy little gun, and suppressing it within the footprint of a 16-inch barrel is a big win. This is an entirely in-house project […]
