[ED: Here’s an old Ask Foghorn post that addresses a question we get frequently.] Reader Randall writes: While I’m not exactly a newbie when it comes to *using* firearms, I am a newbie gun *owner*. And now that I’m in the position of purchasing ammo, I’m finding things to be rather confusing when sorting out […]
I’ve had my Remington 700 AAC-SD for about six years now, ever since I first reviewed it back in 2012. I had been looking for a good bolt action rifle with a threaded barrel so that I could take advantage of my newly-acquired AAC 762-SDN-6 silencer, and it looked like a match made in heaven. […]
[Ed: Nick originally wrote this less than a week after the Sandy Hook shooting, but it’s still just as relevant today.] In the wake of recent events, it’s obvious and unfortunate that the vast majority of pundits have no idea what they’re talking about when it comes to guns. Especially with a firearm like the […]
Part of being a responsible gun owner is making sure that your firearms don’t fall into the wrong hands, whether that’s kids or Chicago politicians. The trick to any good storage system is that it not only keeps your firearms safely locked away and inaccessible to uninvited guests, but it also allows you to quickly […]
Caracal is a name that most reading this blog will associate with their Enhanced F handgun, something RF lusted after harder than Israeli supermodels. After swinging for the fences with their first release and coming up short, they’ve switched gears and have started producing a more “traditional” line of firearms. Their latest release is the […]
As much as we try to minimize risk as gun owners, the shooting sports can still be dangerous. Accidents happen — I’ve treated at least one gunshot wound at a shooting competition, and can remember countless other instances of Garand thumb and slide bite. All of us want to go home with the same number […]
Pelican is pretty much the gold standard when it comes to hard cases for firearms. Or packing any kind of valuable or delicate items for that matter. From military units shipping their equipment overseas to photographers heading out on assignment, chances are they’ve got their gear wrapped in a reliable Pelican case of some sort […]
It’s been a while since I posted something around here. Damn near four months, actually — the longest vacation I’ve ever taken from writing at TTAG since I joined over six years ago. Truth be told I’ve been a bit busy buying a house and changing day jobs, but something came across my desk that […]
I can hear Robert yelling at me as enter the title to this review. “This is a firearms website! Why the hell are we reviewing a big *ss battery?” As Lucentio would say, my reasons are both good and weighty. I get the feeling that you readers would appreciate this one . . . There’s been […]
There was a time when SIG SAUER did one thing and did it well — making handguns. Those times are past. SIG SAUER now does just about everything and . . . still does it well. Over the last decade, the company’s expanded their product line to include ammunition, optics, suppressors, and even airguns. […]
CNN is reporting that five people have been injured as a result of a shooting incident at a middle school in Los Angeles. One boy was shot in the head and is in critical condition, another girl was shot in the wrist. Three additional people are being treated for minor cuts and other injuries. […]
OKCupid is a “free” dating site. The company’s running a new ad campaign going up on billboards across the country. The ads are a play on “DTF.” Instead of the “F” standing for “fornicate” OKCupid adds a different “F” at the end. In Austin, Texas, for example, the “F” stands for . . .. “Fall head over […]
