Guns America

We recently took a trip to the Big Easy for the NASGW expo--and we got a sneak peak at some of what's going to be announced at SHOT. Here are some of the ones we can talk about now.

I have always been a fan of the .44 Magnum, not because it is the biggest boy on the block (it’s not), but because you can always get ammo for it, and it’s easy and cheap to reload. But probably the biggest strength of the .44 Mag is that you can get ammo at most any gun shop, and even at Walmarts that still carry ammo. To me that outweighs the little bit of extra power you can get with guns that are more powerful, and that have much more expensive and rare ammo. I think every gun accumulation should have a .44 Mag in it. And if you can afford one of the top name (and price) brands, you should consider them. But if you’re on a budget, I have found that this new generation of Taurus products are extremely high quality. The Model 444 Raging Bull 44 Mag .has been around for a generation at this point, and at a street price of under $700, I thought it was worth a new look and a range test. After a couple hundred rounds downrange, the gun did not disappoint. The Raging Bull is a handful, to hold and to shoot, but if you are in the market for a .44 Mag, I think you’d be surprised by this big Taurus stainless steel revolver.

What happens when an innovative AR maker takes on the task of modernizing the AK-47? The results, at least in Troy's case, are almost perfect. Their new furniture gives you the option to add lights, lasers, grips, and optics as easily as you would on most other black rifles.

I like to share my failures with you all along with my successes, and I have to to tell you, water, the most important resource of all, is a tough thing to collect and store successfully. I set up my own collection system over a year ago, when I first started this column in March of 2014, and water was my very first actual article. For me, the most bang for the buck was to buy some used IBC totes, which I showed you in that article. Then I had gutters installed on my house, with the downspouts directly feeding into the tanks. The result was a lot of water, but a year and a half later, it’s not as simple. I also tried an alternate water collection system, as I’ll explain, and that is still giving me fits.

It is fairly rare for some museums to display guns. Most are associated with cowboys or wars, but aren't the focus. But the Saunders Museum in Berryville, Arkansas has one of the best collections of guns around. If you like old guns, this should be a destination.

I've been asking this for a long time. I haven't drunk the proverbial 870 Kool-Aid. But I'm coming to this review with a completely open mind. I'm determined to figure out why the 870 is, after 65 years, still America's pump shotgun. And after seeing the 870 Police Magnum, I'm starting to get it.
