H&P Manufacturing produces a suppressor that is literally called the “Ugly Suppressor” and honestly, it really is. However, there is a lot of science that went into their design as can be noted by the different flow path that the hot gasses are forced to take. The basic idea that most suppressors function off of is to slow down and cool the hot gasses exiting the muzzle of a gun in order to slow their rapid expansion which leads to the “bang” that is heard. This suppressor design also allows the overall length of the gun to remain shorter than with a conventional suppressor.

Sometimes it is the most simple of advice about hunting that turns out to have the most sage. This simple commentary came from a hunter’s grandfather when the campfire question arose about how these trophy buck hunters always seem to score nearly every season. His answer was a remarkably easy answer. Just “go regular.”

Really enjoyed Dr. Woods’ article here. Give it a read: https://www.alloutdoor.com/2018/10/29/go-hunt-regular/

A proper gun grip is essential! Your gun must become an extension of your arm and your hand. Gun grip effects your sighting (aim), your balance, your ability to work the hammer (on a revolver) to pull the trigger, to work a safety mechanism (if your gun has one), to absorb much of the recoil with as little discomfort as possible and your safety. Think about it this way, your gun replaces the finger in pointing (or aiming) at an object. There are some slight differences between the proper grip for a revolver and that of a semiautomatic gun.

For self-defense, a two-handed gun grip is always better. It is however recommended to get comfortable gripping and shooting your gun one handed as well, in both dominant and non-dominant hands. This is in the event you are somehow disabled and forced to shoot one-handed. So getting comfortable and proficient with a proper gun grip in both hands is necessary.

Americans’ support for a ban on semi-automatic guns in the U.S. has dropped eight percentage points from a year ago, when opinions were more evenly divided after the mass shooting in Las Vegas. Last year’s measure was unusually high for the trend over the past several years; the current 40% is back to within a few points of where it was between 2011 and 2016.
