Over the last few years, we’ve all heard that one gun or the next will be the “MP5 Killer.” None of them have been that “MP5 killer.” In fact, roller lock firearms, and MP5 clones in general, are making a big comeback. Many companies are making inexpensive semi-automatic MP5 clones, and a few are making expensive […]
The G43 was by no means the first GLOCK I owned, but it was the first GLOCK I wanted to own. Small, concealable, and controllable, the G43 makes an ideal everyday carry firearm. The width of the single stack grip makes it conceal well, laying flat against my belt or on my ankle inside my […]
Unlike many other areas of the country, Texas is still blessed with lots of open land. For shooters, that means lots of opportunities to reach out a little farther with your long gun. Within 45 minutes of my place on the Hays/Blanco County line, there are four ranges I know of that go out to […]
Mossberg’s reputation has long been built on offering functional, reliable firearms at inexpensive prices. Like most shooters, I’ve had more than a few of their shotguns, and you’ll find a 500 in my truck at all times. They’re good working guns. Building on that well-earned reputation, Mossberg has released their budget bolt-action rifle, the Patriot […]
For a lot of us who love to shoot rimfire, the .17HMR has been the go-to round for varmint hunting and target shooting since it came out 16 years ago. Not that I mind, but we’ve been relegated to bolt action rifles in that time. That is, until Savage came out with the semi-automatic Savage […]
Pump action shotguns are great. They’re powerful, simple to use, reliable and relatively inexpensive. There are, however, some downsides to most entry level pump guns. Some of the same things that make those guns so inexpensive make them fit the shooter poorly and are generally unattractive. Boyds Gunstocks is looking to improve both of those […]
The People of the Gun have been bemoaning the lack of a large scale, professional online marketplace for firearms and gear. We’ve been clamoring for someone to step in and fill an obvious void in the marketplace, thanks to so many retail outlets and financial institutions who’ve made it difficult or impossible for retailers and […]
Earlier this year I got a sneak peak at the Paul Howe Package GLOCKs customized by Wilson Combat. Wilson embargoed any stories at the time, but I got to shoot the G19s and G26s of these models all weekend. They all shot well, EXTREMELY well for small GLOCKs, and I left wanting one of the […]
With either the traditional Hammer Classic, or the slightly more modern Sharptail, CZ has made guns worthy of “riding shotgun.” The shotgun has long and rightfully been regarded as the most useful of firearms. Because of its wide range of projectiles, even the old smoothbore flintlock fowlers were good for everything in the woods up […]
[Ed: The subject of “stopping power” is a never-ending debate amongst gun guys and gals. JWT, a former combat medic, wrote this back in 2014 and it’s well worth sharing again.] RF, a few friends, and I were shooting out on my range at a dueling tree. After having to shoot one steel paddle no […]
I like FN. I do not like the FN SCAR. But I like the FN SCAR 20S. A lot. People are complex that way. The FN SCAR 20S is the latest in a long and fabled line of battle rifles. FN can rightly call themselves “The World’s Most Battle Proven Firearms.” It was only a […]
When Jeremy originally posted about the C4 Precision Folding Sights by Ultradyne, I could hear the “ERMUGERD!” in his voice. I’m sure he could hear the “Get off my damn lawn, hurumph!” in mine. Over the last few months, I’ve certainly done the most amount of shooting over the most amount of time for the […]
