Guns and Ammo

SilencerCo introduced four brand-new products this week, including the first-ever integrally silenced 9mm pistol. The releases also included two new silencers and a rail-mounted rangefinder.

Every year, Guns & Ammo ranks the “Best States for Gun Owners,” and the majority of G&A’s readers’ comments focus on state laws relating to concealed carry. Since 2013, G&A has ranked the “Best States for Concealed Carry” to explore the area that interests our readers most.

Drawing attention is something that rifles and rifle cases do very well. Most tactical gun case options on the market today do nothing to conceal what’s inside. Tailored to universally fit a long gun, the shapes and designs of tactical gun cases betray their contents, leading to an uncomfortable or undesired reveal.

George Armstrong Custer was one of the most colorful and controversial American military figures of the 19th century. Remembered mostly for his devastating defeat by Lakota and Northern Cheyenne at the Battle of the Little Big Horn (or “Greasy Grass,” as the Indians called it), in fact he was actually an extremely able cavalry commander—bold, brave and able to make quick, prudent decisions, as he had proven in the Civil War and subsequently on the Western Plains.

In case you aren’t familiar with the late Col. John Dean “Jeff” Cooper—which probably means you’re new to defensive shooting—allow me to introduce you. Born in 1920, Cooper earned a political science degree from Stanford before receiving a commission from the United States Marine Corps, and he fought in the Pacific in World War II and later in Korea before retiring as a lieutenant colonel. Cooper went on to earn his master’s degree and taught high school and college classes before he opened American Pistol Institute (API), now known as Gunsite, one of the nation’s top training destinations for civilian shooters as well as law enforcement and military professionals.

The Trijicon MRO (Miniature Rifle Optic) is an all-American-made, rugged and fully sealed tactical reflex sight. It was developed with the intended use on rifles, carbines and shotguns. It provides a crisp 2 MOA red dot reticle via advanced electronics and lens coatings. The reticle position is adjustable in ½ MOA increments and provides 70 MOA of total adjustment in both elevation and windage.

If you live in North Carolina and have always wanted a suppressor, your life just got a little better.
