Sat, 10/28/2017 - 10:49

Whether you're heading to the backcountry on a hunt or out for a weekend excursion camping, there are few gear essentials as necessary as trekking poles.

Standard Manufacturing’s SKO-12 — An American-Made AR-15 Style 12 Gauge

Fri, 10/27/2017 - 15:59

The Holy Grail of tactical shotguns has always been a detachable magazine feeding system. Several have come to market, but none of them worked well. Even those based on the ultra-reliable AK-47 fell short. For some reason, scaling up to 12 gauge just doesn’t feed the way it should. This week, we got our hands on the latest attempt to reach this bar. We have good news. For once, someone may have solved it

Thompson Center’s Strike: A Striker-Fired Muzzleloader — Full Review

Fri, 10/27/2017 - 09:29

The muzzleloader can be a freezer-saver; many states offer a special season after, or sometimes before, the regular rifle season, and there may even be an additional tag involved. I have had deer seasons where the centerfire rifle went unfired for the entire season, and the muzzleloader was relied on to put meat in the freezer.

Here’s Why ATF Approved Bump Stock But Not AutoGlove

Thu, 10/26/2017 - 12:24

Gunfight Science: Surviving A CQB Assault

Thu, 10/26/2017 - 09:46

The fact is that a majority of defensive shootings take place at what we will call “bad breath distance.” The aggressor will more than likely already be inside your personal space and the ensuing fight will be a close quarter battle.

My First 1911 — Why I Chose SIG Sauer’s STX

Wed, 10/25/2017 - 11:07

Among the multitude of autoloading handguns that a shooter has at his or her disposal, John M. Browning’s most famous pistol design still remains a perfectly viable choice, well over a century after it appeared.  The M1911 and the M1911A1, of the First and Second World Wars, respectively, showed the effectiveness of Browning’s brainchild, as well as the new cartridge designed for it: the .45 ACP, or Automatic Colt Pistol. The ACP marked a return to a .45 caliber sidearm for the military, as the M1892 revolver – firing a .38 Long Colt cartridge – didn’t have the power level that soldiers needed, and the Philippine Insurrection brought that quickly to light.
