The sound of a high velocity round striking the target is unmistakable. That welcome sound, as well as the smiles and exclamations of a job well done, came often from myself and the other shooters at a recent Wyoming prairie dog hunt sponsored by Sierra Bullets. The hunt was to highlight the Prairie Enemy line […]
This year I’m trying my hand at cowboy action shooting. Cowboy action shooting is at least a four gun sport; two revolvers, a shotgun, and a pistol caliber carbine. This makes the initial price of entry into the sport quite steep, especially if you intend to be competitive. A full compliment of slicked-up guns, gear, […]
The SIG Sauer MCX Virtus Patrol rifle. Seven thousand rounds. Eleven months. Modular. Minute of angle groups. Not an AR-15. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. The evolutionary divergence of SIG’s flagship semi-auto carbine goes back 60 years, to innovation that originated from one of the greatest missed opportunities in the history of the firearms industry. Armalite, […]
Colt’s newest 10mm 1911, the Two-Tone Delta Elite with Novak sights, borrows the cool of high-end custom 1911s from the 10mm’s early years. Fans of the 10mm owe a lot to the Colt Delta Elite. Sure, the Bren 10 gets all the hype, but that gun got more years on screen than it did in […]
The Ruger LCP didn’t make the first .380 ACP pocket pistol. Not by a long sight. No, but the Ruger LCP made the .380 ACP cool again and the People of the Gun should be grateful for that. It’s a great cartridge, just capable of being “enough gun” in the hand of the inexperienced, and […]
It was, as my dad would say, “colder than a well digger’s ass.” There was even a little snow covering the Texas Hill Country grass. I was probably 8 years old, and scrawny for my age. Shivering underneath an ashe juniper, my outfit consisted of the only jeans I owned, a bright green 4H jacket, […]
Primary Arms has made a big name for itself in the budget optics world. They’ve produced feature-packed optics with a renown reticle and OK glass. The new GLx 2.5-10×44 FFP riflescope is a step up, including great glass on top of everything the Primary Arms was already doing right. The budget optic market is a […]
The ingenuity of free Americans will always triumph over small-minded fearmongers seeking to stifle liberty. There’s no greater example of this in the gun industry than the myriad solutions companies have developed in order to allow shooters to comply with California’s ludicrous, inhumane, and unconstitutional assault on Americans’ right to keep and bear arms. For […]
EOTech has been a leader in zero magnification holographic optics since the 1990s, and for almost two decades has been one of the premier go-to optics for the US Special Operations close quarters optics. More recently, they’ve spun up the Vudu Optics that’s focused on precision magnified riflescopes. With the 1-8X24mm, Vudu has entered the […]
Late last year, Henry Repeating Arms finally gave in and released several traditional lever action rifle calibers in a side gate loading platform. Now they’ve continued that line, but with their first side gate shotgun. This is the same gorgeous gun I gave high praise last year, but instead of .45-70, Henry Repeating Arms has […]

If you’d like to submit a photo and description of the gun, holster and gear you’re carrying in the new world in which we live, send it to us at [email protected] with WICN in the subject field.] These weird days, I’m carrying the same things I carry every other […]
“Colt’s coming out with a new Pyth…” “Putmeonthelistheresmymoney.” And that’s the way the conversation went when a buddy of mine told me that Colt would soon be offering a new Python. Colt got back in the double action revolver game with the Cobra. We all hoped. Then they released the King Cobra and we could […]
