K9 Handler Matt Burnett is the director of training at Freedog USA so his EDC is a bit varied. He says they’re “all items that I don’t go a day without. Having multiple knife options and a high-performance dog training gear allows me to bring my service dog with me off leash to alert me […]
The Mini-14 and Mini Thirty have been in production in one form or fashion since the early 1970s. Being a fan of the platform, I’ve seen a lot of gimmicky accessories for both rifles over the years. But, after going through just about all of them, here’s a good selection of items that are actually […]
Today’s EDC is unique in part because not many people EDC revolvers anymore – which is a shame – but this particular revolver is chambered in .327 Federal Magnum. The .327 Federal Magnum was designed by Ruger to perform similarly to the .357 Magnum in compact revolvers.
The latest take on Ruger’s classic 10/22 rifle is a compact model with their modular stock system. It’s similar to the stock on their 10/22 Takedown Lite model. It’s a great option for young shooters who need a short length of pull now, but gives them the option to increase LOP as they grow. Ruger […]
Victims of Gun Violence Aren’t Necessarily Experts At least someone said it… Two things bother me when we hear about more gun control: The first is the very worn out cliche, “common sense gun law.” To me that can be defined as the term used by politicians who want to eliminate firearms from the civilian […]
Southpaw Andrew Thomas uses the Ruger American as his everyday carry because it has an ambidextrous slide stop and magazine release. The Ruger American 9mm also features a low bore axis and MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail for lights and lasers.
In part two we looked at some of the places the Mini-14 has found its way into service over the years. There are three more worthy of note. Let’s take a look. France The Rugers were purchased to replace the odd assortment of SMGs the CRS had floating around after WWII. With the military replacing […]
Most shooters have at least one build that will never be complete. Many times these are the firearms we shoot and train with the most. Just as often, it’s our “fun guns” or those builds our friends will hurl insults at and refuse to even squeeze the trigger on, even if they function flawlessly and […]
The Ruger Mini-14 has been in production in one variant or another since 1973. Nearly three million have been made so far, the two most common models being the standard Mini-14 and the Ranch Rifle, which starting in 2005, was redesigned and the standard Mini-14 and Ranch Rifle became the same when the 580 Series […]
At Ruger’s annual shareholder meeting today, shareholders voted on a proposal pushed by a group of dissident shareholders — led by nuns, among others — that would require the publicly-traded firearms maker to “detail its plans to monitor violence associated with their guns and develop safer products.” As the New York Times reports, At the […]
If you’re one of the many fans of the Ruger EC9s you’ll be happy to hear Galco is coming out with a selection of holsters for the pistol. (For those who don’t know, I’ll save you the Google search: the EC9s is a compact, striker-fired pistol chambered in 9mm with integral sights and a 7 […]
In a post-Parkland push to demonstrate corporate virtue and concern, mega money manager BlackRock let it be know that they’d been sending a batch of questions to all of the publicly traded gun manufacturers in which they have a stake…which is all of them.
