Jeremy got a sneak preview of the new quad-stack 33-round Kel-Tec CP33 .22LR handgun (read his review here). But I had to stop by the Kel-Tec booth at SHOT and get a look at one for myself. Oh, and here’s the new KS7 shotgun that Kris mentioned in the video.

In today’s edition of “Are you paying attention, AR builders?”… Women in red T-shirts, some carrying young children, fanned out across the Maryland State House complex to press lawmakers to pass a series of bills that would make it more difficult to obtain guns. They advocated for a ban on 3D printed guns and guns […]

Those wonderful Swiss are at it again, trying to relieve me of my disposable income. They might succeed with their new AC308 rifle chambered in, you guessed it, the ever-popular .308 Winchester cartridge. Check it out.

Powder River Precision, perhaps best known for their custom Springfield XD and XDM drop-in triggers, also make a nice range of aftermarket parts and butter-smooth triggers for other guns like the Ruger LC9s and now a 2 lb drop-in trigger for the Ruger 10/22. And, we hope soon, one for the Ruger PC Carbine, too. […]

We stopped in at the huge Remington Arms booth and got with pro shooter Travis Tomasie who took us through the new semi-auto V3 TAC-13. Check it out.

We stopped by Kel-Tec’s SHOT Show booth to check out their new, compact KS7 12 gauge shotgun. The M7 bears more than a passing resemblance to an M41A pulse rifle from the movie Aliens. Where are Ripley and the queen?

This daily carry shows a Glock 19 with a few aftermarket additions including an RMR and a Streamlight WML with a laser. Here’s the question. Do you think this particular WML is enough for a carry gun since it has a laser or do you think the RMR is a good partner for it? Conversely, […]

We stopped by the Hodgdon booth at the SHOT Show this morning to talk with Chris Hodgdon, who told us his new mission is to get more shooters into reloading.  He said founder Bruce Hodgdon got the powder company up and running, in part, by partnering with component and press makers to set out on […]

Palmetto State Armory is working to bring the masses an affordable, American-made MP5. Due to an issue with a parts manufacturer not making some components to the required specs PSA demanded, the release was delayed. But fear not, PSA is looking at a late Q3 or early Q4 release with a MSRP below $1,300 and […]

If there’s one thing that any concealed carry training regimen should include, it’s dry firing practice. And plenty of it. Some might even argue that it’s the most important training a concealed carrier can do. Dry firing is the surest way to master trigger control and tame recoil anticipation. Just about anyone who’s considered an […]

When an apology just isn’t enough (see our original story on this here): Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate recorded a video apologizing to members of the Iowa Firearms Coalition for his office’s failure to meet a requirement that would have advanced a pro-gun amendment to Iowa’s Constitution. The error set the gun rights amendment back […]

This pocket dump is from someone “up north” – Santa? – and features a Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0. The M2.0 is a nice pistol with some solid upgrades over the original line. Changes include more aggressively textured grips, something that affects different shooters in varying ways but does ensure a secure grip – and […]

Opinions seem sharply divided on the Beretta 92. People either love them or they don’t. My Beretta 92FS, for many years now, has been my go-to pistol. While not necessarily the most accurate pistol I own, it has always been 100% reliable.  The Beretta M9A3 is a modernized version of the battle-proven Beretta M9, which […]

In a recent article of mine, I talked about both chickens and the .300 AAC Blackout round. I presented the idea that, from a practical standpoint, the 300 BLK is an extremely practical cartridge for general use, a breed made for today’s demands that can both show well and make meat, so to speak. I […]

Harvard and Yale have long been rivals in many ways. One that doesn’t often come to mind is the rivalry between their shooting teams. While little known, it has a long history: both schools founded shooting clubs within a few years of each other in the early 1880s. Within a decade, headlines regarding match results […]

In my recent review of the new GLOCK 45, I discussed some points that make it one of the best shooting 9mm pistols I’ve fired, and certainly the best GLOCK I’ve had to the pleasure to holster. Today we are going to be looking at the latest variation of the ever-popular GLOCK 19, this time […]

For those who believe we have a gun problem, not a mental health care crisis, there is this little gem from the Sun Sentinel which is fast becoming my new favorite news source: Cruz didn’t keep his homicidal urges quiet. But the schools incompetently handled the threat he represented to his fellow classmates and teachers. […]

In November, Florida narrowly elected Ron DeSantis as governor of the former Gunshine State. Along with governor-elect DeSantis taking office, the House and Senate will also have Republican majorities. In just about any other state, that would mean good news for gun owners. But as Florida’s past legislative history has shown, that isn’t the case. The […]
