The Truth About Guns

When President Trump called Haiti a shithole, the off-hand off-camera remark set progressives’ hair on fire. Pundits in their hundreds declared the Commander-in-Chief a racist.

After returning from Roswell to civilization last month, I penned a missive on extreme long range shooting. Ritter & Stark had us slinging .338 Lapua freedom slugs (I did not just say that) out to 4,000 yards. Though that was a skosh optimistic . . . 2,600 was more realistic, and Patrick of The Firearm […]

Over the last year, I’ve been helping law enforcement agencies with Tactical Combat Casualty Care instruction, patrols, fugitive recovery and warrant service. One of the departments I work with insists I carry a .45ACP full-size GLOCK 21. So my new duty weapon is the GLOCK 21SF . . . A couple of years ago I […]

In the video below, Rock Island Auctions shoots the 950 JDJ Rifle. Why? Money! And, of course, because they can.

John Farnham writes [via ammoland.com]: Last weekend, a student brought an H&K MR762A1 Rifle to my Armed Response to a Terrorist Attack training course last weekend. It’s the commercial version of H&K’s 417, a gas-piston, autoloading, military rifle in 7.62×51 (308) with an “AR profile.” My student fitted his long gun with a 6x ACOG optic (6×48) mounted on the upper […]

In 1975, a company in my ancestral home of España (Spain) released to the shooting community what was then one of the most desired handguns in the world.

Narrative alert! . . .

TAOFLEDERMAUS, as he is wont to do, tries out some pretty odd experimental ammo and is apt to shoot his various projectiles at some awfully weird targets. This one, a running […]
