It was originally called the .30-30AR. That’s because Bill Wilson of Wilson Combat appreciates the terminal effect of the old .30-30 Winchester, but also enjoys the popular AR-15. So, he set out to make a round that would duplicate the old workhorse .30-30 in an AR-15 platform rifle. He’s certainly not the first person to try. […]
By Terril J. Hebert I often get a chuckle when someone points out the “dirtiness” of some range ammunition over others. No matter how much you shoot at the range with “dirty” ammo, you will never get close to the level of filth of black powder shooting. Especially when the pace is increased with percussion […]
Reader Jason Bayne writes: I was given the opportunity to spend some time with a brand new Vigil Commander in 9mm, Dan Wesson’s new entry-level 1911 pistol. The Vigil is currently available in both 9mm and 45 ACP in four configurations; full-size government with a 5” barrel, a full-size government with a 5” threaded barrel, […]
Jeff Cooper’s credited with saying that the first rule of gunfighting is to have a gun. And you’ve probably read a thousand times that the best carry gun is the one you have with you. Or something trite like that. One of the best features of North American Arms’ little mini revolvers is they remove […]
Gun Review: Ruger Mini 30 Rifle in 7.62x39mm The Ruger Mini 30 rifle is something of a unique creature. I was first introduced to it a number of years ago as an alternative to the AK series of rifles. I’d spent a great deal of time with AK rifles and became used to their performance […]
It seems that everyone at TTAG loves the PPQ line. Multiple writers have now completed multiple reviews on several different models. They are all highly positive. That’s because the PPQ is an outstanding firearm in its class. The new Walther PPQ Q4 TAC continues the trend. “Tactical” didn’t always have a real meaning with firearms, […]
Classic Gun Review: Belgian Browning Hi-Power Mk I The Belgian made FN Browning Hi-Power pistol ranks as one of my favorite side arms of all time. I appreciate the gun for its history, as well as its practical use. I’ve bought, shot the heck out of, and then sold many of mine to friends who […]
Gun Review: Benelli Nova Pump Field Shotgun Benelli’s tag line is “Simply Perfect.” That may be a touch overstated as I’ve yet to see a gun that can reach that bar. But as pump shotguns go, Benelli’s Nova Pump Field Shotgun can make a lot of good arguments for being considered the top of the […]
Gun Review: Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite .22LR Today, we shooters enjoy more options than ever before. The industry as a whole is quick to meet demand and maybe no company is faster at gauging shooter enthusiasm and meeting the demand than Ruger. The company continues to release gun after gun that shooters not only […]
Gun Review: Ruger GP100 Match Champion 10mm Auto I’ve spent quite a bit of time with 10mm pistols over the years. I’ve owned and shot many, but never a revolver. The Ruger GP100 Match Champion is a unique six-gun that offers a great deal to the discerning shooter…with the added bonus of moon clip sweetness. […]
Gun Review: Cimarron Firearms 1866 Yellowboy Pawnee Carbine While the 1860 Henry may be the rifle that started it all, it was the next version, the 1866 Winchester that takes the credit for the first true lever action saddle gun. The “Improved Henry” as it was originally called, was durable enough for use around the […]
By Troy I, along with several other People of the Gun, loathe the National Firearms Act (NFA). I am completely against registering any of my firearms with the government. I reluctantly purchased a suppressor that has an NFA tax stamp and is registered with the ATF because there are fewer regulations on suppressors. I also […]
