Taurus is releasing a new striker-fired, polymer framed .22LR pistol, the TX22. Maybe the most interesting thing about the full-size gun is that it has a 16-round polymer magazine. Yup, you read that right, 16 rounds. That’s noteworthy, especially for a gun that’s suppressor-ready, has an adjustable rear sight and is the size of a […]

Why I Don’t Train With .22 LR Guns
I train with five calibers: 9mm and its baby brother .380, .223 and 5.56 (happily, my rifle is chambered in .223 Wylde so I can go back and forth), and, when I get to it, .308. I recently picked up a SIG 522 for a ridiculously cheap price and got it set up, but I […]

Teach Your Children Well.
I’m fairly certain that when that noted folk-rock supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith wrote that song, teaching your children about guns was hardly what they had in mind. But bear with me for a moment and let me take you down the road on a train of thought that […]
Incendiary Image of the Day: Pen is Mightier than the Sword Edition
What you see before you is an example of the no longer mythical “pen gun,” a device designed to fire a single .22LR cartridge at…well…someone. Now before we get all Our Man Flint here, let’s note a couple of things. There are no sights (laser or otherwise). It’s a single shot, meaning is half as […]
