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 renowned 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 […]
[This post is part of our series, What I’m Carrying Now. 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 […]
Like many hunters, shooters, and gunsmiths, I’ve been trusting Brownells for a whole lot of years. When I saw they had contracted with a Japanese company to make mid-priced precision rifle optics, I jumped at the chance to review one of the first scopes in their Match Precision Optic line. They did not disappoint. Brownells […]
About a decade ago I started boot carrying the Bond Arms Derringer in .410/.45 Colt as an everyday backup and deep concealment pistol. I absolutely loved it. Four years ago I got to review a slightly different version for TTAG. I loved that one, too. Since then I’ve bought different holsters, different grips, and different […]
The SIG SAUER P320 XFive Legion is everything that made the P320 XFive great, only prettier. The original 2018 verison of the P320 XFive has disappeared from SIG’s website as well as dealer offerings. It appears that SIG has refined the brand by incorporating the excellent P320 XFive version into their Legion line. The Legion […]
We are all getting a lot of advice these days. Some of it is even good advice. If you are reading someone telling you what to carry, how much ammunition you should be comfortable with, or how you will behave in a gunfight, and they have not actually been in a gunfight themselves, much less […]
A full moon lit up the Texas Hill County as I drove to a hunt just south of Kerrville, and I made a game out of adding up the value of the axis deer roaming wild on the roadside. $100,000 on the hoof? It was starting to add up to some real money. The axis […]
