Weekend Photo: A 3D Printed 10mm 1911
Eric from Solid Concepts, who developed the first 3D printed metal gun, printed this 1911 chambered in 10mm Auto. Its probably not everyone’s taste, but I really like the aggressive styling of the frame and slide. I also like how Eric printed an extract from the preamble of the Declaration of Independence directly into the grip. Submit photos […]

Weekend Photo: M1 Garand on a Winters Day
I really like this photo Kevin sent us of his M1 Garand. Kevin writes … M1 Garand at 1000 yards on a perfect winter day. The old battle rifle still shoots just as true as the day it left the factory. Needed a spotting scope to set windage, and due to the extreme cold we had to […]

I regularly get emails from people asking me to tell them how to do something illegal. Often these people phrase the questions they ask in such a way as to trick me into telling them how to break the law. Today someone told me his friends and him were having a debate whether or not a .300 BLK […]
